I have created a webform in HTML 5 and CSS 3. I would like the action to be set to email and send all of the fields.
Here is my currently existing code, using js fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/o1njosLa/
This is the result from the email:
"message=128+Baker+Street%0D%0A%0D%0ALondon&email=john_doe%40example.com&website=http%3A%2F%2Fetetet.com&message="
So my questions are:
Is there an easy way to send the form to an email address without
having to open up outlook? I sure there are but I would just like a
decent and hopefully quick tutorial which I can just add on to my
existing HTML and CSS?
How can I get all fields to send in an email?
Thanks for your help.
You can't do it with HTML only, you can PHP (a server side language), you can find a guide on http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp.

Is it possible to send an email with a form inside ?
We want to send an email to our subscribers with an input text inside the email to get a complementary information, I havn't seen this before, is it possible to do that ?
If yes, which problems could we meet with that solution ?
I do not think that this is possible...
and even if it is, I wouldn't choose to do it.
You can not know what device your user will be on and if his mail client will support this.
If I were you, I'd just link them to the online form they have to fill. (You could use Google Docs for instance) or do it on your own website with an html form and write it to a database.
Why go through the pain of having to deal with hundrets of emails?
I have a rails application with a form for job applicants. Right now, when a user fills out the form the data is sent to an email in this format:
Position_Applied_For:
Name:
Telephone_Number:
Alt_Telephone_Number:
Physical_Address:
How_Long_At_Address:
Desired_Salary_Or_Hourly_Rate:
Specified_Hours:
Date_Can_Start_Work:
etc..
I'm trying to have the output sent to look like an actual job application using html to make the document and have the parameters fill the fields in the document. What would be the best solution to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Not sure what are you asking for exactly.. refer this link action mailer design.
You can edit mailer template in views and design its style using css, to look like job application.
i am working on a submit form in my html page. When i click submit button, i should get mail in my inbox.
So what all the procedures, i need to follow to get the output.
You need to use a server side language like PHP / ASP.NET etc. Then:
User submits form.
Retrieve the submitted information.
Send an email using the email functionality specific to the language you decide to use.
You haven't given much so this is only an outline of what you need to do to get going. You can use Google for the various areas you need to implement.
Instead of using any server, is there any plugins which can be useful
to get my output. – Bharadwaj
I think this might do the job for you http://www.emailmeform.com/
I've never used it, but it looks like a website that hosts the form for you and emails you the results. You'd just put the form html on your page and let them do the rest.
Hope that helps.
This is a rather simple question, but I cannot find documentation about it from Salesforce.
I am setting up an HTML Newsletter from Salesforce Vertical Response, and I need to put a link in the body of the email that goes to another site which takes the user's email address as a query string. I am doing this so that when the user clicks the link from the HTML email, they will automatically be signed up for a different blog mailing list.
The link will look like this www.mywebsite.com/blog/subscribe?email=your_email#email.com.
I can easily accomplish this by using the {EMAIL_ADDRESS} variable, such that the link looks like this:
Subsribe
This workds, but when the user gets the email and clicks the link, the '#' symbol gets stripped from the URL. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get around this. I saw some documentation on the URLENCODE() function for SalesForce, but when I try to use it in the HTML email editor in SalesForce, like URLENCODE({EMAIL_ADDRESS})it doesn't execute it, and instead interprets it literally as text. Can anyone help me? is it even possible to use functions from within the SalesForce HTML email editor?
Thanks
I havent used VerticalResponse, but if it leans on salesforce communication templates then you can always create an email template as Visualforce page. Then you can apply Encode functions to merge fields.
I'm glad you were able to find a workaround. If you ever go back to dealing with the URL, it's a good idea to disable our click-tracking when working with merge fields. This can be accomplished by adding nr_ before the http.

How can i code a HTML (using CSS) file to send an email to me(i.e. to given email-id) by the visitor of that website?
Without using a server-side language, the best you can really do is a mailto link. That will open the user's default email editor with the "To" field populated with the value of your mailto link. You can create one of those like so:
Email Me!
It is possible to provide extra information in a mailto link, to populate more fields. For example, if you want to provide a subject:
Email Me!
You can also provide a value for the body, cc and bcc but I have no idea how well those default values are supported by various email clients.
Also note that this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with CSS, which is used for styling documents. I've therefore removed the CSS tag from your question.
You cannot. You can use a tag:
Email Me
And this will open a mail client in the client side. The client must have it configured for being able to send a email.
If you want to create a form that, when the user presses a button "send" sends you a message, you must use a dynamic language such as PHP.
