Overview
Sends an email to the recipient address specified in the settings.
How it works
The system determines the recipient email addresses. It builds the email based on the settings configured on this step, then sends the email to the recipients.
Recipients can be entered manually, extracted from the corresponding PNR fields, or taken from the Agents setting under Offices (Offices â Agent).
The email body can use a previously created template or an individual template configured directly on this step. Variables allow the system to pull data from the PNR or from the system to generate personalized emails for each recipient.
The email text supports multiple languages.
đĄ Use the variables defined in System Settings â E-mail Branding to apply, depending on the PNR's creating or owning office, or on remarks present in the PNR.
Settings

1. Title
Defines the name of the element displayed on the workflow canvas. The default value is Send e-mail. This value can be changed manually.
2. Use e-mail template
Allows the step to use a previously created email template instead of an individual configuration on this step. Useful when multiple workflows and schemes use identical configurations.
đĄ Editing the template updates it immediately on every step where it is used.
đĄ When a template is applied, all settings entered manually on this step are overwritten.
Select how the address is determined for the To field from the drop-down list:
- Send to email â the address is entered manually in the text field.
- Send to client (PE only) â the address is extracted from the email field in the PNR contact details.
- Send to client (PE or SSR) â the address is extracted from the email field in the PNR contact details. If the field is missing, the system uses the fallback address defined in SSR CTCE.
- Send to agent â the address is determined by the Agents setting of the office (PCC) that the processed PNR belongs to.
đĄ For Send to agent, specify a fallback address in the Fall back field in case the agent's address cannot be determined.
Enter addresses for CC and BCC manually.
The {} button next to each field inserts a variable value.
4. Specify email importance
Select the importance level of the email from the Importance drop-down list: Low, Normal, or High.
The default value is Low.
5. Time zone for time variables
Select a time zone in the Time zone for time variables field. The value determines the time zone used for all date- and time-related variables generated by the system.
By default, the system uses the time zone linked to the client's Trava system (backoffice).
6. Sender's name
Enter the sender's name in the Sender's name field. The field supports free text or a variable value.
7. Sender's email address
Enter the sender's email address, or select a variable value using the {} button.
By default, the field is automatically populated with the address specified in the Error e-mail field of the Scheme properties settings.
đĄ The sender's address is used correctly only if it matches and is permitted for the domain specified in System Settings â SMTP server.
8. Add language
Add one or more languages for the email. The list of available languages is based on the value of the Comma-separated list of cultures for using on the site parameter in the system settings (Global â General).
Adding at least one language is required.
If multiple languages are added, the system selects the language to apply based on a remark added to the PNR. The remark-to-language matching rules are configured in System Settings â GDS Common â Culture and Language Detection Rules â Remark content analysis to detect passenger locale and language.
đĄ Once the system determines the locale for a PNR, it continues to use that locale afterward, even if the remark is later removed.
9. Subject
(available after selecting a language in setting 8)
Enter the email subject in the Subject field. The value is set separately for each added language.
10. Preview
(available after selecting a language in setting 8)
Enter a PNR number in the Preview field to preview the email template. Allows checking how the email will appear to the recipient before saving the step settings.
11. E-mail body
Edit the email content for the selected language using the built-in editor. The value is set separately for each added language.
The editor consists of two panels:
- A text formatting toolbar â standard editing functions (font, style, lists, tables, images, links, and so on), including AI assistant and Source. [TO CONFIRM: purpose and functionality of AI assistant]
- A variable panel grouped into categories: System, PNR, Processor, URLs, Backoffice, Agent, Brand, Custom. Each variable name reflects its content. Hover over a variable to see its description in a tooltip.
Source switches the editor to HTML editing mode for the email code.
Hide empty blocks using comment tags
Wrap part of the email content â text, a table row, or HTML code â in the tags <!--[RemoveEmpty]--> and <!--[/RemoveEmpty]-->. If all variables inside the tags return a blank value, the system removes the entire content between the tags before sending the email.
đĄ The tags are written as HTML comments and do not affect the email layout.
Example: hide a table row when the passenger has no frequent flyer number.
<!--[RemoveEmpty]-->
<tr>
<td style="width:210px"><strong>Frequent Flyer:</strong></td>
<td>[FrequentFlyers]</td>
</tr>
<!--[/RemoveEmpty]-->
- If the variable
[FrequentFlyers] contains a value, the recipient sees the row normally. - If the variable
[FrequentFlyers] is empty, the entire row (<tr>...</tr>) is removed, leaving no empty "Frequent Flyer:" parameter in the email.
12. Enable default styles
Allows applying the styles defined in Custom e-mail style settings (System Settings â E-mail) to the HTML code generated by template variables (for example, [SegmentTable]).
The styles are not applied to the rest of the email content.
13. Attach PDF document
[image]
Allows attaching a PDF document to the email. Enabling this setting opens additional configuration fields.
PDF attachment name (required) â enter the file name for the PDF attachment.
PDF body â edit the PDF document content using the built-in editor. The PDF content can be generated independently of E-mail body and uses the same set of tools and variables.
The copy from e-mail body link copies the current content of E-mail body into the PDF body field.
14. Send e-mail only once
Allows limiting email delivery to a single attempt for a given PNR at this step. If the PNR reaches this step again, the system checks whether the email has already been sent and does not send it again.
Without this setting, the system sends the email again each time the PNR passes through this step.
15. Send individual e-mail for each passenger
Allows generating a separate email for each passenger in the PNR instead of one email covering all passengers. When enabled, passenger-related variables return data only for the passenger each email was generated for. The recipient address (To field) stays the same for all emails.
16. Add calendar files
Allows attaching calendar files (.ics) to the email for PNR segments. The system creates a separate .ics file for each segment with HK status and a future date.
