Instructions:
Requirement: IOL technique.
Requirement: Mandrill API key and QB apptoken
Configuration:
In the script you'll see an object like this. copy the object jobSheet or bookingTicket or rename them. For the fields you enter the exact name (no spaces) of your merge tag *|MERGE_TAG|* and the quickbase field ID of the field you want pushed to that tag in your email. More comments in the code below and in the script. If you need any help you can reach out directly

fields:{MERGE_TAG:"123"}
var template = {
jobSheet: {
timestampField:"_fid_342", //the field on the form you want to timestamp when the email was sent.
fields: {
enterMailchimpMergeTagName: "123" //the id of the quickbase field
},
msgObj: {
"template_name": "templateName" // the slug of the mailchimp template
"template_content": [{
"name": "Job Sheet",
"content": "Job Sheet Information"
}],
"message": {
"from_email": "FROM EMAIL",
"to": "",
"subject": "job sheet for ",
"text": "Find your job sheet information below.",
"merge": true,
"global_merge_vars": [],
"merge_vars": ""
}
}
},
bookingTicket: {
timestampField:"_fid_341",
fields: {
},
msgObj: {
"template_name": "bookingticket",
"template_content": [{
"name": "Booking Ticket",
"content": "Booking Ticket Information"
}],
"message": {
"from_email": "FROM EMAIL",
"to": "",
"subject": "booking ticket for ",
"text": "Find your booking ticket information below.",
"merge": true,
"global_merge_vars": [],
"merge_vars": ""
}
}
}
}
After its all setup then you would add a couple buttons on your form that trigger the mail().
in this example i want to send jobsheet so the button would have javascript:mail(template.jobSheet); return false;
