Sending HTML Email

Is there an [HTML_END] tag? How does one create a multi-part email?

If you have both text and html portions in an email, then pure text only email clients will show the text version, and html capable email client will show only the html version. Both text and html will not be shown by any client.

I noticed that there is a text after the email content. It says ‘Powered by DAP…’, is there any way to remove that?

You can remove it in DAP Setup -> Templates -> Email Footer

having the same issue as Eric. Still getting both text and html content in my emails.. how am i supposed to distinguish the two?? close html tag? close html end tag??

Start with the text content.

After the text ends, add the [HTML_START] tag and enter the html content and test.

If you do this but the issue persists, open a support ticket with us and we will troubleshoot it.

This is very cool, however when I send an email this way, the default footer gets out of whack because that does not have inherent HTML. Is there a code to end the html email? I guessed [HTML_END] but that didn’t do anything.
Thanks

Evan,

There are only 3 options currently…

1) If you’re always going to be sending plain-text emails, then use a plain-text global footer (Setup > Templates > Email:Footer)
2) If you’re always going to be sending HTML emails, then use a HTML global footer (Setup > Templates > Email:Footer)
3) If you’re going to be sending both alternatively, then put the footer within the email itself, and do not use the global footer template.

Well, I tried this as a “mixed” email, and the only portion of the email that showed up was the portion after [HTML_START] — all of the text portion simply disappeared.

Does this feature work differently (or just not at all) for broadcast emails?

If your email client support html email, then that’s what you will see.

>>Does this feature work differently (or just not at all) for broadcast emails? << It works the same way for broadcast emails.

“If your email client support html email, then that’s what you will see.”

So, why would anyone do a part text/part html email if all that shows up is the html part? Not sure I understand the purpose of this feature.

Deborah,

Back in the days, years ago, not many email clients could handle the rendering of HTML email. There was no Thunderbird, Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live, etc.

So if you wanted your email to be read by everyone, you would send a multi-part email, so that those with email clients that cannot read HTML, at least got to see the text part of it.

Nowadays, it is not very relevant, as all email clients – including mobile phones – can process HTML emails with ease.

So you don’t have to include a text version of your email in the outgoing email – you can make it just HTML.

Can this go in the welcome email… the one that goes to them when they buy something?

oops, never mind, I see that it can

Does the [p] tag work in emails?

As long as you’re sending HTML email, yes, it will work.

A couple of questions:

1. Can a user unsubscribe from autoresponders but keep membership of the site?

2. “Ability to track open rates and click-through rates (coming in a future version in DAP)” — is this still on the way? Any timeline?

>>1. Can a user unsubscribe from autoresponders but keep membership of the site? < < Correct. The site membership remains intact when a user unsubscribes. They will only stop receiving dap emails if they unsubscribe. >> 2. “Ability to track open rates and click-through rates (coming in a future version in DAP)” — is this still on the way? Any timeline? << Still on the way. Hopefully within 6-8 months.

Is there a way to use multiple from-email id’s?? I want one set of my autoresponder emails to be sent using email_one@test.com and another set of autoresponder emails to be sent using email_two@test.com

Basically, anyone who receives my first set of autoresponder email will see it coming from the email address email_one@test.com and anyone who receives my second set of autoresponder emails will see it as coming from email_two@test.com

Eyyina,

I want one set of my autoresponder emails to be sent using email_one@test.com and another set of autoresponder emails to be sent using email_two@test.com << Sorry, it's not possible. The from-email is a global setting for the auto-responder, not a product level setting. Thanks, Veena

Hi all,

I have used DAP for two years and love it =) Only issue is that I am shifting to using non-subscription based email services (to cut down on email costs) e.g. myMail (by Code Canyon) and I was hoping to find some way of integrating them e.g. an API.

Anyway to do this now?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi,

one should start EVERY email in DAP with the [HTML_START] tag.
Becauses today every tool can handle HTML mail.

Instead of the very expensive Dreamweaver you can plain simply use the free Writer of OpenOffice.org.

The main advantage is, that you can view your mail in openoffice as it will look like when it is sent to the user.

Create your mails within this text editor in the WYSIWYG-window.

After that you simply switch to “view/HTML-source” and copy/paste the shown HTML code into you DAP-mail and precede it with the [HTML_START] tag.

Then you are done the easy way without the hefty cost of DreamWeaver.
