Send HTML email

[Steven1337]

I've successfully added the plug in and I am able to send emails using the email 360 plug in.

I have not been able to send an html email though. I read the documentation and apparently the only way to send an email with html is if that field is formatted in filemaker. This does not work for me since the body of my email comes from one field.

The field is just a calculation field which is basically a string of text and fields to write a simple letter to my customers. I implemented the html in the calculation but when the email is sent all the tags are visible and it is not html.

Is there any possible way to make this work?

Do you have the content type set to "html" in the EmailSetBody function?

yes it looks like this

EmailCreate( "[email protected]" ; PICKUP SPECIALTIES::EMAIL ; PICKUP SPECIALTIES::emailSubject ) and

EmailSetBody( GetAsCSS( PICKUP SPECIALTIES::emailBody ); "html" ) and

EmailSend

which is set in a variable $result

the emailbody field looks like this:

Dear Steven:

We are sending you this email to let you know that we have processed your order 137470.

Many customers that purchased part # LRV6928 have also purchased these items:

the email is sent fine but it comes in with the html tags showing. I need them to be actual html.

Is the email you are receiving html or plain text? Are you putting those tags in your emailBody field? Your getAsCSS may be putting those tags in as literal if you include them in your calcualtion.
