I'm new to exacttarget and ampscript so I'm sorry if this is trivial. I've tried searching the help documentation to no avail.
I'd like to include the email name or ID as metadata in an email.
Is there a way to retrieve this information at send time to include in the email?
Yes! There's a personalization variable for that.
Inside an AMPScript block you can reference it with: emailName_
Outside an AMPScript block you can reference it like this: %%emailName_%%

I am very stuck. Tried everything I could think of to solve this issue, but I feel as though it is just something wrong with my JSON. When I build a dynamic template, I'd like to insert some variables for the send. As you can see in the example, simply just adding the first name in the handlebars. However, when I send tests using postman, I can not for the life of me get the first_name to display. I've tried so many different options in the JSON and nothing seems to work. Here is where I am currently at, omitting the first_name obviously. Any help on how to format this I would very much appreciate it.
{
"from": {"email":"example#example.com"},
"template_id":"ID HERE"
"personalizations": [
{
"to": [
{
"email":"recipient#gmail.com"
}
]
}
]
}
I tried 100 different variations of the request.

I think that using that JSON is mainly for when you're using the API to send an email with a template. You then provide the JSON data as dynamic_template_data and it is populated in the email template.
first_name is a reserved field and substitution tag which lets you use any reserved or custom field data you've added to Marketing Campaigns to dynamically generate unique content for each recipient of your email. One common example is adding a recipient's first name to the body (or even the subject line) of your email.
The data that populates your Substitution Tags will come from the information you have stored about each contact.
You can work with substitution tags with the code editor or design editor.
Let me know if this helps at all!
I'm making by a requirement a code able to send an E-mail to an specific list of E-mails, due the fact that I must to include the attachments of the record I decided to use an apex class instead an e-mail alert. This object (A custom object ) must populate some fields in an email template with some of the record´s fields. I implemented the following code
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
mail.setToAddresses(lista);
mail.setTemplateId('00X21000000QR22');
//mail.setWhatId(idMinuta);
mail.setTargetObjectId('005d0000005NMIx');
mail.setSaveAsActivity(false);
List<Messaging.Emailfileattachment> fileAttachments = new List<Messaging.Emailfileattachment>();
for (ContentVersion document: documents)
{
Messaging.Emailfileattachment efa = new Messaging.Emailfileattachment();
efa.setFileName(document.Title);
efa.setBody(document.VersionData);
fileAttachments.add(efa);
}
mail.setFileAttachments(fileAttachments);
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });
I understood that to make the fields merge it´s necesary to use the WhatId method. In the related code, I have commented it because It generates an error (INVALID_ID_FIELD, WhatId is not available for sending emails to UserIds.)
My question is, if is it possible to do this with a custom object. I´m a little confuse with salesforce documentation beacuse it looks like the method supports a custom object, or maybe If I am forggeting something to include in the code.
If i keep the WhatID line commented, effectively the email is sent with the attachments and the Template but it is not populated.
I really need this kind of solution because the org have in this object at least 20 email templates, for me will be easier just to pass the Id of the template instead of makig a code with 20 different html codes for each situation
Thanks a lot

I am trying to send an email whenever a boolean value equals. The email needs to contain info from a list that is created in a groovy script earlier in the job. whenever this list isn't empty I will need to create a text/HTML email with the contents of the list.
currently I have the email extension plugin but I can't find a way to integrate it with what I need. Is there anyway I could send the email using groovy or use a plugin that triggers based on what I need?
To anyone who it may concern, I discovered that with the Flexible Publish Plug in you can add conditionals to your post build actions, easiest to use string values and just compare those. this is because you can set up parameters at the start of your build that you plan to use to store info in the build environment, and it can be accessed from other places.
you can set string params using the following code:
def paramTempHolder = new StringParameterValue('PARAM', 'desired value')
build.replaceAction(new ParametersAction(paramTempHolder))
for me I used send to indcate I needed to send my email so my code read:
def paramTempHolder = new StringParameterValue('SendEmail', 'send')
I then used $SendMail as string 1 in flexible publish and just send as string 2. If the condition is meet it will send my email. I can use the same parameter manipulation to get the info I need into my email so that it sends like I want it to.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that inorder to use the replaceAction method you will need to add the following import to your script:
import hudson.model.*
I need to send an email that lists out product information for multiple products. Is there a way to create a email template with a foreach loop in aem? I have implemented a static email structure where I would replace the string names, for example https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/email-api.html. But I need to loop over data and I am not sure how to do that. Any information or direction on this would be helpful.
Samy,
One possible answer could be, having a server side templating. AEM does support multiple templating methods like Sightly, handlerbars etc.
Here is good doc which could help you.

I am using ruby's Net::IMAP object and I can retrieve a set of emails using either:
IMAP.all ..args..
Or
IMAP.find ..args..
But is there anyway of retrieving a specific email, preferably by the message-id header for example?
Is this possible or am I limited to all and find and trying to narrow the result set with better arguments?
I didn't understand what technology you're using with IMAP. However the IMAP Specification provides the ability to search by a variety of fields, including email headers. You can use the following IMAP command to retrieve the UID of an email with Message-Id <53513DD7.8090606#imap.local>:
0005 UID SEARCH HEADER Message-ID <53513DD7.8090606#imap.local>
This will then give you a response such as the following:
* SEARCH 1
0005 OK UID completed
In my case the email with Message-Id <53513DD7.8090606#imap.local> was the first one, so the SEARCH command returned a matching UID of 1.
You can then retrieve the message using a UID FETCH command, such as the following:
0006 UID FETCH 1 BODY[]
Naturally, if you know the UID in advance, you can skip the UID SEARCH step, but that depends on your application.
For anybody else who is looking at this, these keys will do the trick:
keys: ['HEADER', 'MESSAGE-ID', message_id]
Just to give a full ruby solution incase it's helpful to someone else.
Bear in mind that if the message is in a subfolder you'll need to manually search through each folder to find the message you are after.
search_message_id = "<message-id-you-want-to-search-for>"
email = "youremail-or-imap-login"
password = "yourpassword"
imap = Net::IMAP.new("imap.example.com", 993, ssl: true)
imap.login(email, password)
imap.select("Inbox")
imap.search(["HEADER", "Message-ID", search_message_id]).each do |message_id|
envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, "ENVELOPE")[0].attr["ENVELOPE"]
puts "Id:\t#{envelope.message_id}"
puts "From:\t#{envelope.from[0].mailbox}##{envelope.from[0].host}"
puts "To:\t#{envelope.to[0].mailbox}##{envelope.to[0].host}"
puts "Subject:\t#{envelope.subject}"
end
imap.logout
imap.disconnect
You can change the above to search all sub-folders by doing:
folders = imap.list("", "*")
folders.each do |folder|
imap.select(folder.name)
imap.search # ...
end
