When sending an email from within method is there a way to use gmail instead of the native email client inside method?  If able to do this will it log it as an activity inside method? In other words I would rather use gmail when sending because it is more full featured but I don't want to have to manually go and ...

Hi Michael, Yes, inside of the Show Message action I put "Credit Memo Saved. 1 Email Sent!", but the message never showed. Perhaps the issue is that I literally copied the actions from the Invoice's Save & Email button. Maybe I should have just started from stratch. Can you point me in the direction where I can find out how to ...

Paul, thank you!  Yes, you are on the right track.  I do not have HTML experience, nor much Method customization experience YET. I do believe your suggestion will resolve the issues and I will speak to Danny about the solution.  Thanks again!   Judy  

Karen,  You could also try this. Take a look at the Generate Report action inside the Print Preview button on the Sales Order screen. If you mimic this action on your new email button, and create an action result, you can use this action result in a Send Email action. Put your action result from your Generate Report ...

Ted, Thanks for your response. I was asking about sending emails from within Method.  But can you clarify your statement about sending an email from Outlook? I already know that standalone Outlook has the read receipt feature, but is this used by the Method plugin in any way?  I had posted a feature request in the plugin subforum ...

Thanks Chad, just the sort of thing I was looking for! I checked out the examples of the merge field suboption of the character function action. So if I understand this correctly, if I type in "Vendor" into the "replace from table"  field, and put my desired Vendor record ID as an Action Result in the ...

Okay....I'm back. I'm still struggling with the same problem. It would be great if my users could truly authenticate themselves (e.g. not having to entier their email user/password through the Method admin screens) for sending emails. The main reasons: 1) sent emails show up in their Sent Items folder and 2) should an email to a customer ...

Ben -  I did upload the image the from the email template. The image displays when you go to the address. Thus, it should download with the HTML script. But it apparently doesn't. But wait, there's more. I uploaded the image again and I duplicated the template. When i send the email to myself, I can see the ...

Hi Audisho, Today, it is the same. I just did a quick test, and haven't received email after 1 hour.  One of my client even received an error from Method today: Email Send Failure Alert The following email failed to send. Method has tried to send this email via your specified mail server a total of 5 times, approximately 5 ...

Glad to hear it was something that simple.  The default email preferences tell us which server to send the email through (we send to your SMTP server, from there it goes to the recipient).  The actual email is created in the Listbuilder, which is why you still need to specifiy the From email address.  If this isn't there, the ...
