"error": "Permission Violation: You need the 'Vicarious emails' permission to access this page. Please contact your account administrator."Craig

The SS2 script in SCMA can save data to a custom record, and a map-reduce script can send emails from those records.
The extra complexity isn't welcome though.

10/28/2025, 7:45 PMThe restlet has to run synchronous. Better to hand it off via
N/taskc

10/28/2025, 8:10 PMThe script will still have to run on a schedule to pick up anything that can't run with task

Craig
10/28/2025, 8:12 PMhope they never have more than 99 users at once
Craig
10/28/2025, 8:12 PMthat's what the schedule is for then I guess - pick up the left overs
