Is it possible to trigger e-mail from EFS script?

[swtrader]

I was wondering if it is possible to trigger an e-mail from efs script

I wouldn't need anything fancy, even a 'check charts' headline would be all I would need

Here is a very basic example of an efs that will send an email at every change of hour. You can run it in Tick Replay to test it
Alex

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("sample");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
}

var Sent = false;

function main() {

if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
Sent = false;
}

if(getHour()!=getHour(-1)&&Sent==false){
Alert.email("Check charts","Test email");
Sent = true;
}

return;
}

Thanks, Alexis

is there more code required for creation of the e-mail object?

I don't see any place to bind the e-mail address to the object

No further code is required. The settings are the same ones used for the Alerts (see View->Alerts in the main menu).
For more information on how to configure the email settings see this article in the eSignal KnowledgeBase
