Usage

To use the Generate e-mail masking activity, it must be placed inside a table masking activity or a similar activity that iterates over data. Once placed, select the property you want to mask. Next, enter the properties containing first and last names. Lastly, change the e-mail format to your desired value if the default format is not good enough for you purposes.

Example

In this example we want to generate e-mails for the Customer table. First we place the Customer masking activity into opened Package.xaml and put the Generate e-mail masking activity within it. Once placed, we select the Email property that we want to mask. Next, we select the FirstName and LastName properties as ones containing first and last names, respectively. We leave the e-mail format as it is, as it is good enough for our purposes.
