# Send Custom Emails

You can configure HPE IDOL Server to send an email that contains details of a specific single document to a user.

To configure HPE IDOL Server to send custom emails

1. Open the HPE IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[UserCustom]` section.

   If you already added a custom section to automatically email results to users, the same settings enable the sending of custom emails. If you are using this existing section, ensure that you specify the template to use for custom emails by using the `EmailActionXSLTemplate` parameter. Continue with Step 7.

   If you want HPE IDOL Server to send custom emails without enabling automatic emailing of the agent and channel results, specify a new custom section. Continue with Step 2.

   Note: For details of configuration parameters, refer to the HPE IDOL Server Reference.

3. Add a section to the configuration file with the name that you specified in the `[UserCustom]` section.

4. In your new section, set `Library` to `InstallDir/community/modules/user_email` to enable the mailing operation.

5. If you are using a proxy server, specify the `ProxyHost`, `ProxyPort`, your `ProxyUsername`, and your `ProxyPassword`.

6. Use `SMTPHost` and `SMTPPort` to specify the details of your mail server.

7. Specify the template to use to create custom emails as the value of the `EmailActionXSLTemplate` parameter.

8. Save and close the configuration file. Restart HPE IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.

9. Send a `Custom` action to HPE IDOL Server:

   - Set `Function` to `email`.

   - Set `Library` to the name of the custom section in the HPE IDOL Server configuration file that sets up the mailing operation.

   Refer to the HPE IDOL Server Reference for details on the `Custom` action.

10. The mailing operation uses the template that you specified as the value of the `EmailActionXSLTemplate` parameter to create the email that it sends to the specified user.
