EmailSendFromTextBox not working

Postby djrappa » Tue Mar 13, 2018 3:50 am

I have a script using the function
Code: Select all
EmailSendFromTextBox("xxx@yyy.com",9,11)

however the email is not sending.

If I use the regular EmailSend syntax to the same address the email sends fine however I want to use the Textbox command so I can create a correctly formatted email combining values into that textbox. Both text boxes exist and have data in them.

Is this a bug?
If so is there a workaround of fix coming?

The email is not even showing in the outbox where as the other does.

Rev 6800

Hi Djrappa,

You're right, this part of the email scripting doesn't work.
This is a known issue and is being addressed.

There are a few ways you can work around this one way is using local variables:

Code: Select all
Var EmailAddress = TextBox1.Text
Var Subject = TextBox2.Text
Var Body = TextBox3.Text

EmailSend(EmailAddress,Subject,Body)


This will take the text of TextBox 1 and use it as the email address,
It will take the text of TextBox 2 and use it as the subject line
and it will take the text of TextBox 3 and use it as the body of the email.

You can change those numbers as you see fit - or replace the email address for instance with a single email address inside of quotes - ie: EmailSend("Email@email.com",Subject,Body)

Using this script will work as it is without the need to create global variables.

Let me know if this works for you.

Regards,
Justyn Roy
