So, I recently (yesterday) stumbled upon the fact that when I setup an advanced alert using Email as the Trigger Action I can use a Macro in the To section of the email.
What this will allow me to do is create a custom property for my nodes called "Primary Contact" and put an email address in that field. Then I when I setup alerts instead of using a specific email address I can just use "${Node.PrimaryContact}" so that when the alert is triggered it will send an email alert to whom ever is listed in the "Primary Contact" field on the node.
This is where my question comes in...
What will happen if an email tries to send but there is no data in the "Primary Contact" field? I am concerned that this might break something so I wanted verification that this won't cause a problem.
Thanks in advance for any help on this!
I've entered a tracking item to ensure we don't forget to account for this use-case in any future revamp of alerting.
