I really need to be able to attach indiviual investor reports to an email. Because of the sensitive nature of the conetent, I want to add just the attachment for the intended user. Is there a way to do this?

I think so but it is a lot of AppleScript programming. Also you have to use 5.0.3. Current 5.1 has AppleEvents engine broken.

Custom Attachment - now in V6.1?? (March 2009)

I really could use this feature. Just like the original post: custom financial report for each recipient.
How about it? thanks,
Mark

This can be done with conditional statements. The Example folder includes a sample message sending a different picture to different recipients.

UNABLE TO FIND THE EXAMPLE FOLDER

Hi

I just started using the software. I need to send attachments based on a tag. I am unable to find the example folder referred in the forum here.

Do I need to use the code below in the email?

<IF [[Opt2]] <> "">{File:"[OPT3]"}</IF>

Here opt3 will have the file name like "xyz.pdf"

Also, where do I need to store this attachment on my PC (location from which the software will pick the attachment accordingly)?

Your response will be highly appreciated.

That looks correct. You have to drag and drop all the attachments to the attachment panel. With the conditional statements only the right attachment will be sent.

Hi,

I've got the custom attachment feature working great on plain text emails, but I can't seem to get it working with HTML emails.

I'm using this code in MBM:
Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  Hi [Firstname],</p>
<p>This is a test file for your company, [Company].</p>
{File:"[Filename]"}
<p>Best regards,<br>
  <br>
  Test</p>
</body>
</html>
When I send the email with plain text, the attachment comes through correctly. When I send an HTML email, it looks fine in Preview. But it shows up in Outlook as
Code:
{File:"cid:(redacted gibberish)"}
Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks!

They are PDF files and are available in the attachments panel. Like I said, they're working fine in the plain text email version.

Thanks.

That doesn't works with PDFs actually. Only with pictures. We are working on a way to do what you ask but if you send HTML the way to go is to insert a link to a file on your site.

Ok, thanks for the reply. The PDF worked via plain text but that's not quite what we need. I sent you an email through the forum with another question.

Actually the code:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  Hi [Firstname],</p>
<p>This is a test file for your company, [Company].</p>
{File:"[Filename]"}
<p>Best regards,<br>
  <br>
  Test</p>
</body>
</html>
is for embedding a picture into the message. Format supported are jpg, png and gif. The code above is wrong.
