Title: How to add javascript results to text only email?
Post by: jesse920 on January 28, 2006, 04:33:07 pm

Hi,

I would like to send custom horoscopes emails to clients based on their birth dates. (Example: instead of a general "leo's horoscope today" a horoscope based on the day they were born: August 11, 1967).

The third-party script is basically javascript on html, and would require user input (Name, Month/Day/Year of birth).

(1) What code would I need to send the results of the script via email to the customer using ListMail Pro?

I would prefer to include the results in the actual listmail pro email (instead of as an attachment) looking something like this:

Hello fname!,

Here is your horoscope for the week:

And, just as a side note: most of my clients can only receive text-only emails.

Thanks!

Jess

You might use a custom field to store their astrological sign, calculated via JavaScript based on the date they enter, and use User Selection to search the custom field and email users with a specific sign.

Cron-style followups could then be used to have your messages sent out every Monday, for example.
