VI PDF Originator User’s Guide
FreeFlow Variable Information Suite 5.0 (7/2006) VIPO-89
Using VIPO Dispatch - a simple example
Acme Telephone company (a fictitious company) uses VIPO to generate their delinquent
account notices in PDF format. They want to have the notices e-mailed to their delinquent
customers, as well as to the lawyer at the collection agency nearest the customer's
location.
Acme uses a batch file interface to their e-mail program called mymailprog.bat. Currently,
after VIPO generates their PDF files, someone must manually look up the customer data
in their database, collect the generated PDF's, generate the mail note bodies, and finally
invoke their e-mail front-end to send each e-mail, attachment, and copy. The interface to
their e-mail program looks like this:
mymailprog path_of_email_body -t to_address -cc cc_address -s subject
-a path_of_attachment
With VIPO Dispatch available, you can extend the VIPO job that generates the PDF files
to produce the e-mail bodies and other information required to have the e-mails sent
automatically.
