| 27 | == Mail Sender API Improvements == | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | The [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API]] has been improved to allow sending mails to a list of users, a list of groups and a list of email addresses, all at once. It also supports excluding users, groups and email addresses. Last, it ensures that recipients don't get duplicate mails. Before 6.4.2/7.0M2, you could send a mail either to a list of users or to a group (and to an email address) but you had to use several API calls for that and you had to handle yourself potential mail duplication (if a user was inside your user list and inside the group you were sending to for example). | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Using the new API, the following example will send a template email to all the users in the ##XWiki.MyGroup## group, to the ##XWiki.User1## and ##XWiki.User2## users + to the ##john@doe.com## email address. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | Also note that contrary to the previous API to send email to a group, the new API handles nested groups (i.e. if the ##XWiki.MyGroup## group contains other groups, all users of those other groups will also receive the template email)! | ||
