Robert Collins Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am using 360 works email plugin to send information to my customers. I have a script that goes to a layout with the required info, saves as pdf and sends it as an attachment to a customer - this works well, however rather than the customer have to open the attachment , is there a way to have that pdf show straight in the body of the email? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 You may be able to have the content prior to the PDF embedded into the body of the email, but I dont think you can actually embed the PDF into the email itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Collins Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 thanks, I thought I was asking too much. I can do without the pdf as long as the email body looks the same as the FM layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed69 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I have a similar issue. I am sending a pdf to a client which works fine and I have set text which is in the body of the email made up of fields from the database and set text, which also is fine, but my client wants his logo (a jpg) to appear at the top of his e mail in the body. Can someone give me a pointer in the right direct as to how to do this. many thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Most of the HTML emails have the logo on a webserver somewhere and the HTML email references it. So if you put the logo on a publicly accessible location and use a method to send HTML formatted emails, then you could possibly do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed69 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have got a logo onto the e mail using a url (I amazed myself that i did this), but i can not get the text to appear on the same e mail. the text is a combination of set text and information accessed from fields on the database. I am not fussed if the text is html or plain as long as I can get the text and logo on the same email. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Text only would mean text only. You will have to send it as an HTML email. You may want to look into the ScriptMaster plugin. It can send emails via SMTP and its free. http://www.360works.com/scriptmaster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmert Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 You should certainly be able to send an HTML email with an image tag referencing the header image. If you're using GetAsCSS to convert styled FileMaker text to HTML for the email, you can put this after the tag pointing to the header. The email plugin also supports embedding images into the email, for people who don't load images in email, or for images you don't want to put on a public server. You can use the EmailSetBodyFile for this http://www.360works.com/plugins/EMAILPLUG/documentation.html#EmailSetBodyFile -Sam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
