Running a ScriptMaster script

[Nick Stockbridge]

Hi

Sorry this is such a basic stupid question but I have searched and can't find - how do you actually run a ScriptMaster script? For example, I have registered the Send HTML formatted email function, so I now have the following in my external functions:

SendEmailHTMLFormatted( from ; to ; subject ; htmlBody ; smtpHost )

... and all I have to do is make sure my parameters are set correctly.

But how do I actually send the email?!

In the ScriptMaster demo file I click the "Run Script" button but what do I do in my own FileMaker solution?

I apologise if this is obvious but I have missed this basic requirement somewhere.

Many thanks.

Nick

To run the function you will need to put it somewhere in a script. One common way to do it is to put it as the value of a set variable step.

For example, you might have a step:

Set Variable $sendemail = SendHTMLEmail(xxxx; xxxx; xxxx)

You can put the function in any calculation, pretty much, and it will run when it is called. They even work in If statements!

David - that works perfectly!

Had no idea it was so simple to actually trigger a script.

Many thanks.
