Sends the stored user feedback data via mail

This tool allows the sending of stored user feedback data located on the globaldb via mail. Therefore a valid smtp server for those purposes has to be configured, you can find all available properties here.

It's possible to start the tool with only API credentials and a single mail address, or to provide various additional filters in form of input parameters and a set of recipients in form of a CSV-file. If no filters are set, all data available for type star-rating-v1 and context group default are exported and send. The feedback is stored in a CSV-file, generated by the export feedback REST service and attached to the mail send. This file is only stored temporarily and deleted after the sending process is done.

Since the command line tool uses the REST API to delete the data, the user credentials are mandatory. The user can also set a distinct API path for the REST calls transmitted by this CLT.
