I don't know if anyone knows this or not (I didn't) but you can send
HTML EMAIL by clicking on a
User Field and entering
raw HTML into the composition panel. Here are screenshots showing
(1) the composition of email and
(2) the receipt of the email in gmail;
QuickBase EMAIL User FormGMAIL:Well the fun does not stop there because knowing this native API and feature exists you can arrange with script to automatically send arbitrarily formatted EMAIL at the click of a button which might include field values and other styling. Check out this messages received in gmail and yahoo (I added some fancy
Egyptian Hieroglyphs Unicode characters to the email template I used but you could use an
animated GIF of your choice - or even your drab corporate logo if you company is not too hip and styling):
GMAIL:YAHOO:That email was composed without human intervention and
automatically sent by clicking on the
User List field in this view form:
The two users listed above represent my yahoo and gmail QuickBase user accounts.
I can't in this case post a public demo so you can try it yourself because you would have to be a registered user of the application and I can't extend registration to everyone that would like to exercise the demo. So feel free to contact me off-world if you want a feature like this:
