Plugin: Send Email
Development and Programming
The free Send Email plugin lets you send an email from within an ExpressionEngine template without the user submitting a form.
It’s compatible with both EE v1.x and v2.x.
It’s probably most likely to be useful when placed within a template that is loaded using ajax by some user action in the calling template (at least, that’s what I used it for).
Downloading the file requires registration at Engaging.net.
Hi Adam,
Looks like a great little plugin that one, well done.
Just wondering if it’s possible using this to somehow create HTML e-mails such as anything between the tags is output like a html e-mail so that you could include images, tables font-styles etc…
Would be fantastic if that’s possible somehow?
Best wishes,
Mark
Mark, that may work, I don’t know, haven’t tried.

Ah okay, sorry I was probably being a bit lazy there. Should have tried it for myself I guess 😊
I just tried placing an example on a template like you had in your documentation and then place a simple img tag in there but unfortunately it appears as though this doesn’t want to work so I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit more complex to get it doing this?
Would be an absolute killer of a plugin this one if it could do that.
Best wishes,

Mark, I added a parameter mailtype for v1.1 of the plugin, with values “html” or “plain”. It’s working in EE v2 but doesn’t seem to be in v1.
Will fix next week.

Fantastic thanks. Definitely will be waiting for the 1.6.x version as I’m not really using 2.0 yet. Can’t wait to test this one out.

Oh, hey, I suspect this can fix/work around the whole “Send another” issue in Freeform! Just return a template from Freeform with the entry ID, then call the freeform entries tag in that template to spit out a parameter for “email username” and use this to send the email to that person.
…I’m going to try this, I’ve got a client who needs this functionality. I’ll report back!
Hi Adam,
Was just wondering if you’d had a chance to fix the 1.6.x version yet?

Mark, don’t think I’ll get to this today or tomorrow – things is hectic at the moment.

No problem at all, no rush at all. Looking forward to testing it out on 1.6.x but can definitely wait.
Hope it all goes well for you.
Best wishes,

Also keen on the 1.6x version with HTML emails - let me know if you make any progress!
Thanks, Richard
Hi Adam,
The product page on your site for this plug-in (http://engaging.net/products/send-email) seems to be broken at the moment - is it still available?
cheers,
Tom
