Hi
I have a send mail action and in the recipient field I’m using a variable
It work when there is single recipient but getting an error when variable have two recipient ( I tried several delimiters )
Should it work ?
It doesn’t make sense that in case I have multiple recipient I need to use multiple variable or write each one of them specifically.

Hi EF,
In the recipients tab the “Load From Variable” offers the feature your after. Make sure however that each address has only a single comma separator between them.
An example would be;
"jason.smith@someaddress.com.au,another.person@someotheraddress.com,lastperson@finaladdress.com"
without the quotes of course, just included them to show the beginning and end of the string.

I just tested here with variables in every field that I could use them, and it worked fine. I don’t see any authentication happening in your action output, that may be the cause.

A better idea, send your project to [support@finalbuilder.com](mailto:support@finalbuilder.com), that way we can see exactly what it is you are doing.
