Email Anything

• The syntax (@objemail@) can be used to generate a unique email address for objects in SmartSimple.
• This will attach the email as a subrecord to the record from which is has been triggered.
• The status of the email record is controlled by the Received Activity Status setting. If there is a Workflow defined on that status it will be triggered when the record is added.

Use Cases

• Review Forms - A reviewer can send an email to the application
• Project Management - Staff can send email to community contacts while keeping the communication on file, eliminating the need for Outlook Plugin
• Letters of References - Applicant will enter referee email address, which will allow the Referee to respond back with the letter of reference attached
• Support Tickets - A client can email a ticket directly
• Anonymous Email Address - Users can inquire about opportunities without revealing their email address - similar to what online trading-places have

Example Usage

You can create a Read Only – System Variables Custom field with the following contents:

<script>// <![CDATA[
function copyToClipboard(element) {
  var $temp = $("<input>");
  $("body").append($temp);
  $temp.val($(element).text()).select();
  document.execCommand("copy");
  $temp.remove();
}
// ]]></script>
<span id="objEmail"><a href="mailto:@objemail@">@objemail@</a></span> <a>(Copy to Clipboard)</a>

Clicking on the email address will open a new email with your default email program
Clicking Copy to Clipboard will copy the email address to your clipboard so you can paste it (Ctrl-V) into your email program etc.
