Sending emails through GS-applikation?

Draxl

Hi,

is there a way to send an email directly through an GS-application?

You can use a mailto: link but you need pro and it will still open the Mail App. No way to fully email from inside a GS app.

Is there a way when the Mail app spawns, can you insert suggested message body text or is this a hyperlink action?

It's a function of the link you create, see here:

Yoast.com is a great site!

Thank you @jamie_c‌ for sharing!!!

I've attached a sample file that builds a custom email from a table if you want to check it out:

Technically... you could create a link that links to a webpage that actually sends the email... without ever touching a client.

But, you would need your own (or a public) web server that ran php/aspx/etc and then you'd link to it like:

http://www.myserver.com/sendmail.php?from=fromemail@email.com&to=toemail@email.com&subject=mysubject&body=my big fat email body

Within the php code, you could grab the variables from the url and send the mail using the servers mail service.

Pretty simple actually.

@ookami007 ..I believe this is a pretty old post but I have a quick question for you: if using own web server can we skip the step where the inbuilt mail app opens. Hence, sending the email in one click only.
