How can set crystal reports alerts into mails

Crystal Reports provides several ways to send alerts or notifications via email. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using the Crystal Reports built-in email feature

  1. Open your Crystal Report and go to the "File" menu, then select "Report Options" and click on the "Alerts" tab.
  2. Click on the "New" button to create a new alert.
  3. In the "Alert" dialog box, select "Email" as the alert type.
  4. Enter the email address you want to send the alert to, and specify the subject and body of the email.
  5. You can also specify the frequency of the alert, such as "On change" or "At a specific time".
  6. Click "OK" to save the alert.

Method 2: Using a Crystal Reports formula

  1. Open your Crystal Report and go to the "Field" menu, then select "Insert" and click on "Formula Field".
  2. In the "Formula Field" dialog box, enter a formula that checks for the condition you want to alert on (e.g. "If {table.field} > 0 Then...").
  3. In the formula, use the "Email" function to send an email. For example:
    Email "[email protected]", "Subject", "Body"
  4. You can also use the "SendMail" function to send an email using a specific SMTP server. For example:
    SendMail "smtp.example.com", "[email protected]", "Subject", "Body"
  5. Place the formula field in the report where you want the alert to trigger.

Method 3: Using a third-party email component

  1. You can use a third-party email component, such as the "Crystal Reports Email Component" or "ReportAlert", to send emails from your Crystal Report.
  2. These components typically provide a set of APIs that you can use to send emails programmatically.
  3. You can use the component's API to send an email when a specific condition is met in your report.

Example code

Here is an example of how you might use the "Crystal Reports Email Component" to send an email:

Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared

Public Sub SendEmail()
    ' Create a new email object
    Dim email As New EmailComponent.Email

    ' Set the recipient and subject
    email.To = "[email protected]"
    email.Subject = "Alert: {table.field} > 0"

    ' Set the body of the email
    email.Body = "The value of {table.field} is greater than 0."

    ' Send the email
    email.Send()
End Sub

Note that the specific code and syntax will depend on the email component you are using and the programming language you are using to create your report.
