BP address data in Email form
Hello,
When I create a campaign with communication channel as "email", how can I automatically add business partner address data ( Those BP's which are in the target group) when sending emails?
Is there a standard functionality available?
thanks in advance.
Hi,
You can use the Personalized mail functionality of the CRM for adding BP address in the email form. This is the standard functionality of the CRM 5.0.
In t code CRMD_EMAIL while creating the text of the mail form drag and drop address attributes from the left hand side Object / Attribute Business partner.
In Business partner Object you will get all the fields of the Business Partner including Street1 street2 City, POBox etc. Drag and drop these attributes wherever you want on the mail form text.
Hope this will help.....

Generally Mugration Assistant will suffice importing all Data ito a new user, but you can manually import it...

I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else. I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason. Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message? Any ideas?
Michael,
The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?

That's a big chunk of nothing. You cannot have bare text like
that on a
page. It would have to be within a <p> tag, or
something.

You are sending your form to a file called "gdform.asp" that
is at the same
folder level as this file. Is that file *there*?
(it has nothing to do with a scripts folder)

How to embedded oracle report data in email body from forms?

Sapscript - email form - vendor address
Hello all,
we are emailing our purchase orders out of SAP to one of our email addresses, it is always the same address. As configuration, we have setup a new vendor X and use this vendor to enter the recipient email address.
We then enter this vendor number as partner into the output message in the purchase order. Partner type is VN for vendor, medium external send and we created a new output type. Once the output is triggered, email is sent to our email address.
The vendor address is also on the sapscript form:
/: ADDRESS PARAGRAPH AS
/: TITLE &LFA1-ANRED&
/: NAME &LFA1-NAME1&, &LFA1-NAME2&,
/: STREET &LFA1-STRAS&
/: POBOX &LFA1-PFACH& CODE &LFA1-PSTL
/: CITY &LFA1-ORT01&, &LFA1-ORT02&
/: POSTCODE &LFA1-PSTLZ&
/ :REGION &LFA1-REGIO&
Now the LFA1 table seems to contain the address of our vendor X that has been setup for email only. Meaning it prints the physical address of our email vendor on the form. But it should show the address of the actual vendor of the purchase order, which is in &EKKO-LIFNR&.
How can we show the correct address on the form?
Thanks
AnneHi,
ok, I think I got it now. Please see below code. The sapscript and the subroutine pool are activated. I have set a break point into the subroutine pool, but whenever I start the output of the PO, it doesn't stop at the break point. So I guess it never reaches the subroutine.
Any suggestions why?
THANKS
Anne

Email address on Portal page incorrectly copied into email form
I have a 'staff directory' on a Portal page that contains email addresses. Upon clicking on an email address an email form pops up. However, the email address in the TO: line sometimes reflects the email address correctly, and sometimes it repeats characters from the email address - that is, my email address might be correctly copied in as Caryn@mail or incorrectly copied in as Caryncaryn@mail.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!So called e-mail obfuscation scripts may work up to a point, but client side scripts are easily defeated by turning off JavaScript. Also, e-mail links don't work for everyone. With so many people using web mail (yahoo, hotmail, g-mail, etc...) instead of e-mail software, they may not have an e-mail client on their device.
For many reasons, a contact form with a form to email processing script that has built-in spam protection is the way to go.
If your server supports PHP, this script from DBMasters is good.

Address data pop up in Email Header
Hi Experts,
While creating a new Email in inteaction center, when we give some name in TO field and click on CHECK button then a pop up opens with all possible names. When we click on any one of these names, again a new pop up for ADDRESS DATA comes for the name. We need to modify this ADDRESS DATA pop up to remove/add some fields. Any pointer in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
VimalAny help on this would be highly appreciated. I am also facing the same issue.

When using the send email trigger to send the data from a form, how must I format a series of checkboxes so that the labels or text next to the checkboxes are only sent if the box has been checked? I have accomplished this with php mail using and IF POST ECHO type statement but I didn't need to enter the data into a database. With ADDT, my understanding is you need an insert transaction prior to using the send email trigger so I made a table for the data and set each option as an individual field with binary as the type. Is this the wrong way to do it from the get go.
I appreciate your help. This is a great forum.Hi,
For sending email there is no need to use remoting...
please see this link...

for any fields that you not provided from standard you can easily create your own attribute context and use BAdi CRM_IM_ADD_DATA_BADI to fill the fields during campaign execution when generating the export file.

Secure Form Data on Emailed PDF Form
I am preparing an email-able PDF registration & payment form for a conference. The registrants are generally low-tech so using a form with a "submit form" or email form button will totally throw them off if they have older versions of Reader.
I'd like to be able to use a form they can receive by email or download from our website, fill it out - including credit card info - and email it back - but obviously securely.
Is and how is this possible?
Thank you!The security requirement is the problem when using email, which is generally not secure.
I would not send such a form unless I knew it was being securely submitted to a web server or securely uploaded to a web server (e.g., yousendit.com). -
Trying to make a php file work with my email form
Hello,
Going slightly mad trying to link my php file with my html and actually getting it to work.
It (the php file) keeps coming up with a syntax error on line 37 - code hinting may not work etc etc but there is no error from what I can see - can anyone else point out the obviously to me? This is driving me around the bend!
my code:
<?php

$emailSubject = 'Website Form';
$webMaster = '[email protected]';

$nameField = $_POST['name'];

Also the header for the From: is this:$headers = "From: $email\r\n"; but I don't see the variable defined for $email
Also you should know about email injection. Someone could inject your headers and add additional BCC: addresses to send emails to many undisclosed recipients through your mail script. You'd be using your script to turn your server into a host for spam! Sanitize your fields to prevent injection attacks! Security should be the firt priority followed by functionality. If it's unsecure it shouldn't function -

Hello everyone,
Can someone please help and explain to me how to capture information from an Acrobat form that is emailed out?
My understanding is that a form will be emailed out from Outlook as an attachment. The data from that form is to be captured as it comes back into the network. Now, is the form that is sent out a "stand alone" for lack of a better term, or is that form being hosted from a server somewhere? I was told one way to capture this form was through a php or cgi script.
I am technical guy with a strong desktop and server administration and support and network background. I am not a strong scripter though and need to better understand the whole process before trying to implement a solution.
Can anyone offer a good explaintion for me please? There are bits and pieces to this puzzle and they are coming together so I can understand it logically and someone who can fill in the gaps would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
JonathanGeorge,
My most recent responses begin with the "--". Thanks for your help.
To address your first question, the form can be set up to submit just the form data, either to a web server or to a recipient via email. So the form (PDF) is not submitted in this scenario. The user loads the form after getting it from a web server, via email, or some other way.
--OK. From how it was described to me the form will be sent out and received back as an email attachment. How can "the form be set up to submit just the form data"? Technology wise, what needs to be setup? I understand scripting is involved and that script is delivered through a web server. If this is all through email, how does traffic back and forth pass through a webserver for this script to run to extract the data dumping it into a .csv or .xlsx file?
If the form is being served by a web server, it can either be loaded in the user's browser, or directly in Reader/Acrobat, depending on how the user's system is configured. It possible that a user may have a non-Adobe PDF viewer, that may or may not be capable of submitting the form. Reader/Acrobat is capable of submitting a form if it's being viewed in a browser or directly.
--I understand easier how a form being served by a web server works from an infrastructure point of view. Would the form ultimately reside on the webserver and in an email a link be sent out asking a user to go fill out this form and submit it or would the actual form go out in an email as an attachment?
For your second question, it certainly is possible to set up the form to submit the form data to a CGI program on a web server. That's what I would recommend. The data could be stored any number of ways on the server. It could then be further processed so that the data is placed in a spreadsheet file if that's what's wanted. If you transfer the data files to a workstation that has Acrobat installed, it can convert a collection of data files to a CSV file, which can them be imported into Excel to create a spreadsheet.
--George, I recognize your recommendation, but how is this set up? Where on the webserver does the CGI script reside and how does it run on a submitted form? We do want to capture the data in a spreadsheet. That is our ultimate goal.
So yes, a web server will be needed if you want to set up the form to submit to one. It does not require any Adobe software, and certainly not Acrobat, which is a desktop application for creating and modifying PDFs. Even if it might somehow be useful on a web server, such use is forbidden by the Acrobat license agreement.
The web server can process the incoming data in any manner that's required. The particulars depend on the format of the incoming data (FDF, XFDF, "HTML", XML) and what you want to do with it (save the data files on the server, store them or the parsed data in a database, email the data files, etc.)
--George, where do you classify the data format of the incoming data? I am guessing in the CGI script? I have a feeling that the FDF file format will be what we would be looking to setup. We will definitely want to save the data files and save the data in a spreadsheet.
Thank you again for your insight.

Hi,
Any help greatly appreciated from an email form guru!
I have a email form that returns emails to my address - but no others. It is laden with a load of content and HTML. I have checked spam filters and junk inboxes and I'm at a loss as to why this would be happening. I have set up numerous email accounts but only two accounts I have had for ages work. Other emails from the same server are received by the same email host - so I don't think they are being blocked, unless that happens automatically when there is a large volume of html in the email. This still doesn't explain why I get the emails and no one else does.
Thanks in advance!

If I understand correctly the php script works, it is just an issue of trying to send it to other email addresses. Is that correct?
You have been able to successfully reconfigure the php script to send to at least 1 other email address. Correct?
When you try some other email addresses they email from the form handler doesn't arrive. Correct?
Are the other email addresses at another domain than recruitercritic.com?
Can you send to more than one address at the same time? If so what happens when you send to the original email address and one of the others?
Well, since the script works with the original email, and you are able to successfully modify the script to direct to at least one other email address then it seems that the script is working just fine. I don't think you have a code issue. I don't know how heavily formatted the emails are but it is possibly that the emails are getting blocked by the spam filters on the receiving email servers. You might check http://mxtoolbox.com/ and see what your mail server IP is and what it's reputation is. If it is on some blacklists that could account for it being blocked by filters on other servers. If that is the case then you should work on getting off any blacklists you are on.
