Hi @DishaSharma ,

Lets say you have a file containing email address or mobile numbers to which you need to send email/SMS communication, and those records are not available in database (and you don't want to insert the records in recipient table). In this case you can use 'External File' target mapping and send communications to them.

Refer this document for more details with an example.
