need email plugin 4 IWP

[marcusami]

hey,

Ive looked at several plugins offered for doing email in IWP (using server 9, 8.5 adv client)

they all seem to be email clients - something that kind of replaces Outlook or Mail. Such as 360 works and myFMbutler. a file maker email client is not what i am looking for.

I am looking for a plugin that is easy to use

so that I can send out emails in IWP to users that have registered for an event.

any ideas

thanks

I am not sure what you are requesting. If you want to send an email from your mail server in IWP when a user clicks a submit button, or something to that effect, then the 360Works Email Plugin will do just that. The email client that comes with the plugin demo file is an example of what you could do with the plugin; it does not represent everything the plugin does.

Hi marcusami

Why don't you use the open URL link the "mailto:" command to send out an email from IWP. This method does need a default email client already installed on your machine.

its going to be sending out hundreds of emails - it needs to be automated.

in reference to the 360works email plug in;

would you say this is hard to set up.

I took an extensive look at the demo and the

documentation that came with it and im not sure if i followed.

the docs dont really give specifics - it says if u want to do quick email and shows this

Set Variable [ $result =

    EmailRegister( "mylicensekey", "My Company" ) and

    EmailConnect( "mail.example.com" ) and

    EmailQuickSend(

        Email::from ;    // required "from" address

        Email::to ;      // comma-separated list of addresses

        Email::subject ; // subject of the message

        Email::body ;    // message body

        Email::attach    // path or URL or container to attach

    )

]

but then you would need to import those other functions - which all seem to depend on field information when i looked at them and moved them over becuz i got 'wrong table' on those sub functions.

so it seems like it wouldnt be quite a hassle to get it set up - or am i just not looking at it the right way

thanks

k figured it out. all u need to really send an email is two of the scripts.

you can do it with quickSend script and the connectSMTP and you just change data for it accordingly.
