Sending email using custom code

Hello,

I want to send the email using form values,Can you please give me some sample code to send email using controller in custom code after email action.

Thanks for your help.

Hi elvinjoe ,

Why not just add a second Email action? Is there something you need to do that the action doesn't support?

Hi GreyHead,

In my form I have hide/show values thats why I want to send email if it is loan category the email should have the loan category.
let's suppose I have dropdown
Category : "Loans","Deposit" having loans and deposits values if I select "Loans",I want to show subcategory : "personal loan","auto loan" dropdown box,if I click on Deposit I want to show
subcategory dropdown having "deposit cat1","deposit cat2".

category : <select name="category"><option value="1">Loans</option><option value="2">deposit</option></select>
if i use email action it is showing the option values 1 instead of that i want to show loan category if it is loan category.

so i would like to write the controller in custom code.

Please help me on this.

Hi elvinjoe ,

In a Custom Code action before the Email action (and before any Handle Arrays action) you need something like this:

<?php
$loans_array = array (
  1 => 'personal loan',
  2 => 'car loan',
  3 => 'mortgage'
;
$form->data['loan_type'] = $loans[$form->data['loan']]; 
?>

Then you can put {loan_type} in the Email template.

Hi elvinjoe,

To get data from tables you probably need to use either the DB Record Loader action for a single record; or the DB Multi-record loader.
