Email Plugin for FileMaker Server

[spragueg]

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 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.
