Solved: Sending HTML Mails using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Former Member · ‎2006 Feb 10

Dear all,

we were using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send plain text e-mail replies to participants of an incentive program. Now the customer wants to send HTML mails. Customer has provided HTML templates for the mails, and the text always is the same, only slight changes in regard to the particpants number occur. Has anybody ever performed sending HTML formated mails without using SmartForms?

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards

Chris

Its really just as easy as putting the HTML code in the MailTxt internal table and setting the document type as "HTM". That's it.

<b>document_type              = 'HTM'</b>

We've create some very good looking emails doing it this way. With logos and tables.
