I am wondering of anyone out there knows of a FlieMaker Server Plugin that can send email. I'm looking for a Server Plugin here, not a Plugin for a FileMaker Pro Client.

Thanks,

I found one. 360Works EMail Plugin. Have any of you ever used it? Can you speak to it's ease of use/reliability?

We use it and have not had any problems. It sends batch emails during the night for us. It's quite easy to use.

I just posted about 360 works yesterday.

what is the set up like? I am novice at filemaker but the scripting makes some sense to me. i am trying to get it set up to send confirmation emails to those who register via IWP for events.

what would set up be like for something like this?

thanks

Not sure that I understand your question regarding the setup. How to install 360 works? or how to write the script?

For the script, you would find all registration records that do not have a confirmation email sent date. Then you could loop thru that found set, sending a personalized email to each person with the info that you'd need in a confirmation.

So, Find, Loop, Email, set date confirmed, Next Record [Exit at Last], End Loop.

I'm a newbie with plugins. I have the set variable for quicksend. However, I don't know what to do to call it and have it actually run?

My script is below:

SetVariable [EmailRegister( "B4JYTFYAMYRADI6DPECAHKB"; "UNCG - University Relations" ) and

EmailConnectSMTP( "smtp.uncg.edu" ) and

EmailQuickSend( Email table for photostuff::emailfrom ;

Email table for photostuff::emailto ;

Email table for photostuff::subject;

Email table for photostuff::email requets field & "¶" &Email table for photostuff::email shoot field ; )

]

SetField[tablename::fieldname,$$result]

Thanks for any help.

Invoking a plugin does seem strange at first: you do it by setting a variable or field, or more precisely, by invoking the calculation engine.

Just run your script.

Thank you very much! Works like a dream.
