Anybody knows if amazon email template (please check this link) http://d.pr/i/1d91T is auto generated or just separate images and links? I mean if they manually coded the template? I have a hundred of businesses and having this idea of doing somewhat like that. Or is there any other way that I could maybe create an email template that will auto populate the products when sending an email?
Campaign monitor offers a good solution and allows to design beautiful emails. But this kind of solution is not free, you can just evaluate by yourself.

I'm working on a psychology project and a study that requires me to set up a website that presents the idea and has a custom form where a user provides his email and question, or whatever consult they have and it goes straight to my email where we can start interacting as a part of the study.
You can discuss something like Wordpress engine to create a simple site with a simple form to get some data from people.
Say for example if I receive an email to subscribe#mydomain.com, is there a way I can trigger that to make a GET or POST call to my own server?
Another use could be email a link and have my server download the link automatically if the email meets certain criteria.
Thanks
Google Apps Script is perfect to achieve this. You need to use GmailApp, Script Triggers etc from Google Script to automate it.

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, a service like ifttt might solve your problem without you having to write ay code.
I'm using SugarCRM Community Edition. I have a bunch of contact information. There are fields I have empty that would like filled. I want each user to be able to fill out a form and fill in those fields.
I'm not sure how to hook each contact into the database. I imagine creating a generic form that somehow hooks into the database using a key. The form/php is not the issue. What is the 'key' and where is the 'door'? I think the door is the SOAP API but I'm not sure. The key, maybe the tracker id?
The only thing I am familiar with as far as interaction between an email campaign and the contact is the campaign 'Tracker'. I know the tracker url with removeme is used for allowing the user to opt out of emails. Is there a way to use this tracker to allow the person to edit their information? I think the answer to this is easy but I need some guidance.
One way of doing this is using the built-in REST api. There are a couple of helpful tutorials out there, here is a link to the one I used for guidance in a similar situation.
You can have a form post the data to your sugar crm's REST gateway, accessible via the url http://localhost/sugar/v2/rest.php.
Although it is quite straightforward to implement, you may want to look at this wrapper class that can be used to maybe keep things cleaner than the hacked up script churned out on the spur of the moment I used in my project.
Last but not least, be sure to glance over the documentation, in the Web Services section you will find more information.
Good-luck
We have a number of customers that we have to send monthly invoices too. Right now, I'm managing a codebase that does SQL queries against our customer database and billing database and places that data into emails - and sends it.
I grow weary of maintaining this every time we want to include a new promotion or change our customer service phone numbers. So, I'm looking for a replacement to move more of this into the hands of those requesting the changes.
In my ideal world, I need :
A WYSIWYG (man, does anyone even say that anymore?) email editor that generates templates based upon the output from a Database Query.
The ability to drag and drop various fields from the database query into the email template.
Display of sample email results with the database query.
Web application, preferably not requiring IIS.
Involve as little code as possible for the end-user, but allow basic functionality (i.e. arrays/for loops)
Either comes with it's own email delivery engine, or writes output in a way that I can easily write a Python script to deliver the email.
Support for generic Database Connectors. (I need MSSQL and MySQL)

So ... can anyone suggest a project like this, or some tools that'd be useful for rolling my own?
(My current alternative idea is using something like ERB or Tenjin, having them write the code, but not having live-preview for the editor would suck...)
I think your looking for a reporting tool which is also capable of sending email. Sending a generared report in html or pdf shouldn't be to hard to do as well.
I've used JasperReports in the past for which I think it should fit your needs.
Another good solution is the pentaho reporting tool
You could easily write something on your own.. give them a basic edit control and allow them to use psuedo variables like {customername} {anothercustomerattribute} within the mail body.
On submit either send directly or save as template.
When the template is sent away the script automatically parses stuff like {customername} into the real customers name from the database.
Your own very very simple custom scriptlanguage :)
Everything else like loops and so on would be maintained on serverside. And if you want particular groups of customers to receive the letter, allow the enduser to select from selectboxes or whatever and do the rest on the serverside with pre-defined rules.
Anyone doing any work using "offline" forms? We have an application that requires inputting data from outside our company. I was thinking about sending a form out via email, allowing the form to be filled out then sent back. Obviously a web application would be the best solution, but management doesn't seem ready to build the infrastructure and security to support that. I've read a little about PDF forms is that a good solution or are there other solutions?
Have you considered InfoPath? These can be created and distributed through email. And then the data can be collated automatically.
Also, consider using Google Spreadsheets with Google Forms. It's free and infrastructure is outsourced.
PDF forms can work as well.
Another possibility is to use Microsoft SharePoint. If your company uses Microsoft Office for the people filling the forms you referring to, you could deploy an Office based solution and gather information with Sharepoint Server.
