I've configured several Transactional Templates to be sent from my SendGrid account via their handy Design Tool, which work great!.
However the Address Line and Unsubscribe links on the template footer aren't activated. In an email they display as placeholders, like so
[Sender_Name]
[Sender_Address], [Sender_City], [Sender_State]
[Sender_Zip]
Unsubscribe << (Not a Hyperlink)
I've followed SendGrid's documentation and configured my account address but am unable to find the solution for this.
Any ideas on this? Thanks for any input or guidance!
To get the unsubscribe to function you will need to create one or more unsubscribe groups. If you look under the Marketing menu you will see the sub menu to create those. Once you create one it will be assigned an ID number. When you are generating your email you will need to pass that ID value in as part of the EmailMessage object. If you are using V3 of the API you will be looking for SetAsm.
As for the Sender fields, for transactional templates they do not work correctly, as they are meant for marketing campaigns. Your two options are:
Remove the Sender fields from that block in the template. Add a new text block above it with static values.
Download the template into HTML and convert the sender objects into substitution variables. You will then be able to set them in your code when you are creating the email.
GitHub Bug
The unsubscribe link will only appear if you create an unsubscribe group and specify it while sending using
asm: {
group_id: <the unsubscribe group ID>
}

I have configured my email collector to display the body in french and I sent survey invite through Survey Monkey. It worked well. Default template is used if this is not specified String in Survey Monkey API. Is there a way to get already configured email collector setup message to be sent? I want the emails to be in the language I had chosen in SM UI
The best way to create a new message based on a template right now is to copy a previous message.
To do this, you'll want to include the collector/message to use as a template when creating a new message like this:
POST /v3/collectors/{collector_id}/messages
{
"from_collector_id": "<collector_to_use_as_template>",
"from_message_id": "<message_to_use_as_template>"
}
Note that the message ID in the body needs to belong to the collector ID in the body.
Is there a way to make a Jire email handler ignore the From field in an email and go for a custom tag instead? I know I could work with the API instead but that's in the pipe. this is a temporary solution that will be used until a more robust system is built.
To clarify what we have today:
Email is sent to inbox, (hr#company.com)
Jira picks is up and creates an issue.
Jira looks at the From field and creates a uses if none exist.
What we're trying to achieve:
Form is filled out, and an area is chosen (hr, facilities etc.).
Form is posted to an API that creates an email (basically a no-reply adress over SMTP) and sends it to the appropriate inbox (for example hr#company.com).
Email lands in the inbox and Jira looks in it and creates an issue in project or label 'HR'.
Jira now looks in the email and finds custom tags named [user] and [user-email] (or something) and creates a user from the tag.
Example email
From: no-reply#company.com
To: hr#company.com
Subject: Some problem
Body: Explanation of problem
Have a good day!
/Mike
[user:"Michael Smith"]
[userEmail:"michael.smith#company.com"]
If we were to implement this system now, we would loose the possibility to create new users because all emails would come from the same "no-reply" adress.
I have searched in the Atlassian forums and such, but with no luck. Have not found anything in the official documentation, but I fear that I might be looking in the wrong place.
I hope that I'm being clear, and that someone has any idea if it is possible.
Thank you!
You need to write your own plugin and create your own Mailhandler.
For example you can use a regex which looks for the tag
[userEmail:"michael.smith#company.com"] and retrieve the emailadress from the string. Do the same for the [user]-tag, if the user doesn't exist.
Here is a tutorial that shows how to create and setup custom Message Handlers:
https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/guides/email/tutorial-custom-message-mail-handler-for-jira#Tutorial-Custommessage(mail)handlerforJIRA-Step7:Implementarealmessagehandlerback-end
The rest should be easy from here.
I am using the Rules module to respond to specific events and send email alerts. This part of my project works fine.
My problem is I need to include some dynamic data in the email message. For this I am using Tokens but the tokens do not get processed and replaced with the neccessary text. This means the email gets delivered with tokens in the message.
Can anyone suggest how I can solve this problem either programmatically or via some configuration I am missing?
I'm using Rules for emails also and hav not encountered any issues using tokens
This is an example of the body of the email from one of my rules
New Issue --> [node:url]
Title - [node:title]
Description - [node:body]
Author - [node:author]
Priority - [node:field-issue-priority]
Category - [node:field-issue-category]
Maybe you do not have the proper format?
I have used amazon SES service for email campaigning. PHP Class that I am using can be found at http://www.orderingdisorder.com/aws/ses/.
I want to place a link in html mail that will be used to unsubscribe that user from list. I am sending mail to a list of users however, I want link to be unique for each. Link should appear as
http://www.mydomain.com/mail_unsub.php?userid=mymails#gmail.com&key=kjhgporhfs
Is there any function in SES that I can use directly??
suggestions please
You could place a special tag like #unsub# at the footer. When you loop through the mail list, you need to replace unsub tag with the current user email ( add the http://mydomain.com too of course)
When user click on that link, you need to remove them from you list. Or mark it as unsubscribe. It should be done inside mail_unsubscribe.php
I'm using Drupal 6.16: When a user creates an account on my site I have them select a category (ie children, youth, adult, etc). This is done with the select list box using the content_profile module. I have a content type that posts an announcement. In this content type is a check box that says 'email group'. Right now it does nothing, but what I would like for it to do is e-mail all the users that are associated with the group they chose when signing up for their account. If this will require extra code please be specific as I am not a strong php programmer.
Thanks for the help!!

There might be some module that do it exactly, but I don't think so.
I would have done it using few building blocks:
Retrieve the list of emails using Views - define a view that gives you the addresses according to a given group argument.
Use Rules module that will send an email notification after node is created.
Combine the two (this is the hard part) - insert the values from the view as the recipients for the email. You might be able to do it using PHP inside the Rule definition, plus view execution.
Try to accomplish it, and if you get into troubles, you are welcome to contact me via shushu.i#gmail.com
I would try http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions module + http://drupal.org/project/messaging module. You can set preferences for automatic subscribing to content type. Maybe Rules module can subscribe users automatically after creating or updating content_profile. Or maybe Rules can flag users after creating or updating content_profile and Subscription module could autosubscribe flagged users.
