HI.

I need some help configuring the properties for the SMTP send message action please. Usually I use the send exception email action but I'm a little stuck now.

  1. How do I get it to use the HTML email template I have created?
  2. How do I get it to insert the data fields from the collection I want?

This is my action properties so far:

The Data.Submitter Email works.

Where do I put the email template path?

This is the HTML email template... How do I write it so it inserts the data fields?

Many Thanks in advanced :)

Hi Rhian,

You can  insert HTML in calculation stage 

Ex1:  If you are trying to insert "Hello world" as html:
In calculation  it should be some thing like this

Calculation stage-  "<html><body><p>Hello world</p></body></html>"
Ex2: Hello world - <Dynamic value from Collection or text>
Calculation stage-  "<html><body><p>Hello world"&[dynmaic text here]&"</p></body></html>"

Refer below some of the threads which has implemented html:

1. Use a referenced data item in the body field with HTML and CSS structure.

 <style>
        table {
            border-collapse: collapse;
            width: 100%;
        }
        th, td {
            border: 1px solid #ccc;
            padding: 8px;
            text-align: left;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>Nome</th>
            <th>Email</th>
        </tr>
 
    </table>
2. You'll need to create a table structure using HTML and a loop. There are various ways to do this, but I find that using a base HTML and performing row-wise validation is the most commonly used approach.

Hi.

Hi. 

This is the body. It's pulling the text and data fields fine.

Hi Rhian,

Attaching the screenshots of the test body that I've created and the corresponding email for the body I go for your reference. This code snippet is working fine for me, bold and line breaks are working as expected. As I can see from the screenshot that you've shared please make use of </br> instead of <br> also you need not use "&&" before every HTML tag. "&&" this is used to attach a variable to text
