Trigger a task on selected rows

[AdemarN]

I’ve enable row selection and I’ve created an email template task. Is there a way to trigger an email template to go out to the selected rows?
Thanks.

Templates are only applied by workflows, reports, or bots, and cannot be applied merely by selecting rows.

@Steve I see. Yes I created the email under a workflow. Now I just need to be able to selectively trigger it. I suppose I can ad a field that once checkmarked the workflow sends the email and then unchecks the field after the email is sent. But do I have to create a new field for just this? Any better ideas?
Thanks.

That’s a valid approach, yep.

Yep.

Not necessarily “better”, but different would be to have a separate table that records the selected rows, then generate the email from that separate table. This approach wouldn’t require changing the existing table, but introduces other challenges.
