Email Anything
From SmartWiki
- 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>
