Add send email option to action buttons

Question

Add the ability to send emails from within the application to email addresses stored in a table. For example I have a list of users in my client list and I want to notify them of an outage, it would be nice to be able to click on a button and send an email out with the notification. You already have the email set up so that's one step out of the way. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is similar to the request: Email Stored Procedure results or the PDF Form after completion

I am leaving that request open to deal with attachments and adding email as a separate step to all action buttons.

Answer 2

As of dbFront 1.4.1.0996, stored procedures can use the ProcedureAPI to have dbFront to send HTML emails.

This is very flexible since the email layout and related logic is under full procedural control.

For more details see: Send Email via ProcedureAPI

The visibility expression is assigned in the [Table Properties] / [Relationships Tab] / [Relationship Dialog]
