Detailed Description

Service Identifier: EML

This Service Provider is used to generate an email address. An email address consists of two parts, a user name followed by a domain name, separated by '@'. For example, user@.nosp@m.doma.nosp@m.in.co.nosp@m.m.

The Email Service Provider generates an email address with a user name based on either destination data or a literal concatenated with a sequential number. The domain name can be based on an email address in the source data, a literal, or randomly selected from a list of large email service providers. The email address can also be converted to upper or lower case.

The Email Service Provider can generate a user name based on the values in one or two columns (usually containing the name of a user). Processing options allow you to use only the first character of the value in the first column (for example, the initial letter of a first name) and separate the values from both columns using either a period or an underscore.

If the user name is based on a single column value or a literal, the name will be concatenated with a sequential number. If a user name is based on values in two columns and a separating period or underscore is not used, the values are concatenated. If a parameter is not provided for the user name, the name will be formed by the literal "email" concatenated with a sequential number. Sequential numbers for user names are suffixes that begin with 1 and are incremented by 1.

Email HASH can be used to generate repeatable email addresses.
