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…

Save e-mails in a filemaker Record
by mskala23- 2 replies

I was wandering if there is a way to save e-mails in filemaker or create a link to an e-mail. basically I want to keep records of e-mails sent and recieved for each of my contacts in Filemaker 7. My e-mail client is Entourage. If I drag the e-mail into a data field it will post the entire e-mail but that is too crazy to scroll through. I would like a list of the e-mails similar to that of an e-mail client. Thanks!

Hi Guys, Not sure if it is possible, but is there any formatting that can be done to text with a formula for emailing. I have a email formula and the result is something like this Train No: 65 but I would like to add a bold Train No: 65 If anyone could tell me if it is possible and how, that'd be great. Cheers,

Send mail function problems
by GalChimia- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
Dear all, I'm a new member with a problem: I'm experiencing problems with the "Send mail" function in some computers. When I try to send an e-mail using that function on a button, taking the e-mail address from a text field or giving the function directly the e-mail address, I get an error message stating that Filemaker has generated errors and shuts down. Worst, sometimes the error causes some file to "hook" the license number on the machine, so when you try to reopen Filemaker the "too many users with this license number" shows. Curiously, you can try again a bit later and the license has been "unhooked" and it is available. Most curious, this function D…

Isolating Unique E-mail Addresses
by mactastique- 3 replies
- 1.6k views
This is my first posting... thanks in advance for any advice!! I'm working with an external data source that unfortunately has the same individuals listed under the various roles they play in their organizations (so the same person shows up in a found set as "editor-in-chief" and "managing editor" and so on). The database is primarily for mass e-mailing, so when I use the Send Mail command, I wind up getting several duplicates in the "To:" field of the e-mail that is generated. Is there any easy way to automatically eliminate these duplicates and make sure that each e-mail address only appears once in a given e-mail?

Why do I have it in my head that Filemaker 6.0 doesn't like to play nice with email, especially Eudora? Is it just an urban legend or is it true? Any feedback is very appreciated....

Flag a field when email sent
by qmrs- 1 reply
- 1.6k views
Hello I have a script button for sending an email when a certain condition is met. What I would like to do is if the email is sent, then automatically change a field to "yes" (email was sent). Could you help with a script to do this. I have tried to go into the email script and insert text when the email button is pushed and that is fine, however what if a person changes their mind when typing the email and decide not to send it. I don't want the field to show "yes" if the email has not been sent. The other thing I did was make the email sent field validated so that either "yes" or "no" must be entered before you leave the layout. Then I made a loop via a message bo…

Fields contents in subject line

Quick question. I am setting up a script to preform several tasks and then send an email notice to let several employees that the tasks are done. Originally I had it set up through a Send Mail script step, but we have a mix of mail clients in our office (Mail, Entourage, Thunderbird) and FileMaker doesn't exactly play well with all of them. I decided to use the open url script step and have it do a "mailto:blank@blank.com....etc" so that it would open in whatever the default mail client the user is using. This works fine but there's something I can't quite figure out. In the subject i'd like to say: "Quote number: _____ converted to Sales order number: _______.…

MondoMail Plug in problem
by benlev- 1 reply
- 1.6k views
I use Mondomail plug-in (Acme) to send and receive mail from various e-mail accounts. Everything ends up in the same FM8 database. I just got a new e-mail account at work where my e-mail is ben@thiscompany.com. The server is pop.mycompany.com and this would seem easy enough to add however, for some reason MondoMail is not working. I think it has to do with the @ or the dot in the user name. I've set that account up on PoPit, and there is no problem there. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

FileMaker Business Tracker and E-Mail

Hi all, I am a total newbie and I really need your help. I am trying to customize the free FileMaker Business Tracker solution. I managed to create a script that can save the invoice in the following format: (Invoice #_PO Number). What I try to do now is to add a script step that would let me send this saved invoice directly to the Project Manager (SalesPerson) directly and creating an e-mail message that has in the subject field the following wording: Invoice # (InvID) for PO# (PONum) And in the body message, I would like to have the following text: Please find Invoice # (InvID) for PO number (PONum) attached. Kind regards, My Name Is this do…

I need to send summary reports by email that include line items with Sub-Totals and Grand Totals by email. Currently I am printing to a PDF file, then attaching it manually to a script-created email before sending it out. This is unacceptable for two reasons: 1) It requires cumbersome manual operations before sending, & 2) the PDF attachments average 70+ KB, which is difficult, since the reports are being sent to third-world locations with intermittent dial-up access. Ideally, I want to incorporate the report, with detail and summary data in the text message, trying to keep the overall message size under 20 KB. I've been able to script messages that…

how to mail a list of records to someone
by clownlady- 1 reply

Hi there, Ok, so I have this database to keep track of all the food in my kitchen and when it expires. I have a neat little function where I can specify if we need more of something. Then I have another table with a portal that will generate a shopping list for me by listing all the items that I have checked "need more." What I want to do now is to create a script to e-mail me the list on a weekly basis so that I will always have my shopping list on my phone when I happen by the store. I have it all set up, except I'm not sure how to set up a calculation to create the list in the body of the message. I'm sure it can be done, just can't figure out how. Any suggest…

Naming pdf's based on a field value
by Audio Freak- 1 reply
- 1.4k views
Hello everyone.....been awhile since I have been here. We are upgrading to FM8 and I have a copy of Filemaker Advanced 8 . Basically we are going to be sending our purchase orders via email as a PDF attachment. I have the script attaching the pdf to the email just fine. What I need to do is to have it name the pdf based on the Purchase Order ID. Right now it just names it PurchaseOrder.pdf. This is going to get really confusing to the vendors receiving the pdf's, which is why I would like them named differently. Hate to have to have the vendors rename the pdf's as they get them. I have messed with using variables in the script but can't seem to get the filename…
