Sending FileMaker HTML Emails When sending emails to customers, it can often help get their attention by adding a bit of design and creativity to what could otherwise be a boring block of text. With FileMaker you can now send HTML emails without the need for 3rd-party plugins, making upgrading FileMaker easier. Let’s take a look at how to send native HTML emails using FileMaker. How To Send The Insert From URL script step now supports the SMTP protocol and includes a handful of SMTP cURL options. Using your SMTP server as the URL and the “–mail-from” and “–mail-rcpt” cURL options, you can specify where the email is sent from, who is sending the email, and who is …

Mail Merge with FileMaker
by dbservices- 0 replies
- 89 views
Mail Merge with FileMaker If you currently hand type your business’s envelopes, letters, and other complex documents like proposals and legal forms, you would greatly benefit from using mail merge. Mail merging, the process of filling in a template document with records from a data source, saves countless hours of double data entry and reduces human error; instead of typing out each recipient’s information, Microsoft Word (or another similar word processor) automatically does all the work for you. In addition it is possible to create mail merges with records from your FileMaker system to save even more time. Basics of Mail Merge To create a mail merge, you need two…

We are using MailIt 5 with Filemaker 11, and have been for many years. We use Gmail for our emails. We recently converted our Mac network to a PC network and the only thing that didn't work in FM once we were up and running was MailIt. None of our SMTP settings changed, so we could not see any reason for the failure. I reached out to MailIt, but they don't seem to be answering Support Calls anymore. Once I discovered the Send Mail command in FM, I recoded everything to use that and we are up and running, and it uses the same SMTP settings! However we lost the use of rich text, which we really relied on. Attachments are also very primitive and require hard-coding; y…

Hi I have a filemaker 15 solution that is organising entrants to a talent competition (3000 + competitors) Filemaker takes in the entrants information and the event that are competing in (400 + categories) Filemaker then assigns time slots and dates to each entrant. We notify the entrant of their competition date and time slot to be on stage by email. I have a script complete that takes the information for each individual entrant and and generates an entry card (that they must bring with them on the day and time) and it creates a PDF of the entry card. The email script generates an email custom to each entrant with plain text in the email saying …

Ok im at a loss on this one. I have two files. NTL Studio and OHMMAIN. Both have a portal with a drop down where i can create a work order. on a couple computers if i create a work order from NTL there are two send email script steps sending different emails to different people. the first send email step in that script works no problem sending through outlook email client. but goes to a file called Unit History where they fill out details. Once done they submit and it crashes filemaker. again that script has two send email steps at different points first of which is hard coded the email to and email cc boxes and it works. the other coming from unit history populates the s…

Simplest email integration.
by Foipo- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
I've done quite a bit of reading on this and I read the documentation for a couple of third-party plug-ins that seemed very well done but rather convoluted. I was wondering what my best option is to integrate email into FileMaker. Of course opinions will vary. At the moment the company I'm dealing with has someone host their email in their servers and their mostly using Outlook as an application. I was wondering whether mail.app had better integration and if OS X server can help me here, in the sense of it being the missing link. I'm already on the Mavericks server so that will not be any problem for me. Obviously when I say email integration and need to point out what t…

Email Container Files or Keep Formatting in Body
by landdog49- 3 replies
- 3.4k views
I want to email a PDF or jpeg file of a registration card in the body of an email. When it is put into a container file only the file name arrives in the email. I don’t want to use an attachment because some of the people complain that they can’t open the file. They are in their 70’s and 80’s and do good just to check their email once a week. How can I email the contents of a container file? Or how do I recreate it in a text field. When I email it in a text field none of the formatting arrives in the email. The top 3 lines are not centered or bold type. The line “Address: ___________________” is wrapped to the next line because it is too long. Also, how …

Send email via SMTP Server
by bmcintosh- 1 reply

This is my first post! so bear with me Send email via SMTP Server falls over at an invalid email address.:ambivalence: I accept that, although it would be nice if it could just bypass that invalid email and send the rest of the messages. Is there a way (script or otherwise) that I can (quickly) detect invalid email addresses in a file containing some 5500 email addresses so that this send mail script will not stop sending. cheers, Brian

Error on Send mail script

Sending mail via local mail ends up always to error "Some of the files that are needed are either damaged or have not been installed. Please run the installer to correct this problem." Reinstalling seems not to fix problem that happens in several Macs (10.5.x, 10.6.x) and versions (both FMP11 Advaced and FMP11, updated to v04 give same error). However, sending via SMTP seems to work.

There does not seem to be a way to create a PDF and then attache it to an email and automatically put an email address from a certain record in the TO: field of the email and then send it. The SEND MAIL can either send an email with a static attachment or it can create a PDF and attach it to an email..but then there is no way to tell it what email to send it to. Any ideas???

Hi All, I am running into an issue sending email through Filemaker. I am working with Filemaker Pro v11.0.3 and can not seem to get an email script I tried to create (copied from starter solutions database) to work. When I created a script to email FM records to the person who will actually make the purchase, I thought it was pretty straight forward for email through SMTP, but it will only work with in our network here on our campus but not off-site. Also, when I can send an email no record appears in the body of the email. I have tried to setup the email function to work with sending a email through the user email local email application (this method is pref…

HTML Email Can Be Sent Using Filemaker and No Plugins...
by Jack Rodgers- 0 replies
- 14.4k views
BUT... You will use the Send Mail by client... You will need a client that interprets the html in your field text and creates the MIME conent: simple text plus HTML text. You can test your email client by creating small html file, copying it and pasting the text into your emailer and mail it to yourself. Thunderbird 3.1.9 and Windows 7l and Filemaker 11 allow me to send HTML email. BUT... I have to click send in Thunderbird for every message I send. The process is not totally automated. I don't know if this will work in any other combination since I haven't, and won't, test it with other combinations. For this to work the emailer has to be ab…

This may not be the correct place or forum to ask but I have been so happy to get my email notification database up and running it seems like there may be people here who have already figured this part out as well... I have been told by the ISP who hosts my email account that I can send 250 emails a day per email address through their system, but they warned me strongly that any attempt at over 50/hr could potentially get me blacklisted as a spammer. I have no intention of spamming anyone, but I have a group of about 4000 people who have asked for specific information that I would like to email once a month. I would comply with all FCC regs about identifying myself, op…

Multiple attachments to an email

Hello, All. Is there a way I can attach multiple files to an email? I need to attach a PDF of the order and JPEGs of the item to an email confirmation to the client. I have set up the paths to each attachment. But when attaching the email, the script only allows the first one it finds although multiple paths are referenced. I know this is how the "attach file" option is supposed to work. But I need to attach multiple files to meet the needs of the client. Any thoughts? Thanks, Allex
