[P2VR6] How to send out an e-mail containing placeholder values

[dennisvanduijn]

Hi all,

I wonder if it might be possible to send out an e-mail which contains placeholder details of the 360 degree photo the user is currently viewing.
I use this action to send out an e-mail as soon as a button is clicked:

Mouse Click > Go to URL > Parameters: mailto:?cc=test@test.nl&subject=User data information is $(ui), User data title is $(ut)&body=Test Body

The result is that in place of $(ui) and $(ut) a space is shown. If I want to send out variable values, I know it an be done by adding $(*[name of the varibale]) to de subject or body. That works.

Any thoughts on solving my issue?

Kind regards,

Dennis van Duijn

Hi Dennis,
I think you may have put the text in the wrong text field.
Example: If you add text to the user-data description text field the you get a blank.
You're using $(ui) so make sure you add the text to the user-data information text field.
Or if you are using the user-data description then change the placeholder to $(ud).

Hi Hopki,

I see I made a mistake by mentioning the wrong placeholders. It should be $ui and $ut. I have filled the fields where the data should come from, like:



Point is, none of the User Data info is passed on in my mailto:?body=[whatever] parameter if I replace [whatever] with any placeholder. Any other Text Field shows the Placeholder data just fine in the GUI, but sending them by mail fails somehow. Should I use another syntax?

Regards,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Thats odd because it did for me.
Please see attached project with all user data place holders being used as well as on tin the body text.

Hey,

thank you for the idea!
It worked for me - I sorted it a little bit and made a component to reuse out of it. Maybe it will help someone else.
