Sending email through SharePoint designer 2013 workflow

Question

I'm trying to send an email to a person who submitted a new project request as part of a SharePoint Designer workflow using a project detail page (PDP) in Microsoft Project Server 2016.

Email recipient will be different in each time since different people can submit a project request and the workflow needs to determine the email address of the person who submitted the request and emails the person.

I cannot find a way to set up the email recipient in SharePoint Designer 2013 to accomplish this task.

I found the following URL on this subject http://mundrisoft.com/tech-bytes/how-to-send-an-email-using-workflow-when-items-are-created-or-updated-in-sharepoint/.

However, the step 6 on this page does not provide enough details on how to set up the recipient email automatically in the SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow.

Is this possible? Can you please help? Thank you,

Answer 1

Ok where are you stuck in step 6? You need to press the book icon to the far right of the "To"-field. This will open the window displayed. There you quite literally press the fields marked in the picture and you're good.

I had a similar kind of issue when I started grappling with Sharepoint Designer Workflows. You should find it useful, it has loads of pictures and step-by-step instructions. I posted the question and an answer here.
