Send email from web browser - html

This question is hard to explain and can be vague. What I am trying to achieve is something similar to the click of a "reply" button found on Craigslist.
What makes this unique compared to a simple mailto or using an smtp sever is that the user must log in to their email accounts and automatically goes to send email with the send information available or (already given) eg. "joesmith#email.com".
Where do I find information on this? and examples.
Note that I use Visual Studio 2010 language C#

You should be able to accomplish something similar to the Craigslist example by creating links with the following URLs:
https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&to=<to_address>&su=<subject>
http://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?to=<to_address>&subject=<subject>
http://mail.live.com/mail/EditMessageLight.aspx?n=&to=<to_address>&subject=<subject>
http://webmail.aol.com/Mail/ComposeMessage.aspx?to=<to_address>&subject=<subject>

Docusign - using two different email body/blurb contents

Hello I have setup our app using the dev/demo account and almost ready to get a paid account. I want to get a starter API account, which doesn't have Branding.
Can I remove the Resource File from the email body without having access to branding? Any other way?
I would like to setup one email body/blurb for the signing email and a different for the completed email. Again without branding would I be able to do that?
I have been able to add customize/add html into the signing email body but would like to add a new condition somehow for the completed
something like envDef.EmailBlurbCompleted =
thank you
There's only one emailBlurb field in DocuSign right now. That field is used in both the original as well as the final email that are sent out. You can customize it per recipient, which is not exactly what you're asking for.
You can change it after the envelope is created, but only if it's still in draft status.
Changing this field when an envelope is in sent status requires a correct operation. Which is also not exactly what you are asking to do.
At the moment what you're asking is not a feature that exist, you can build something to mimic this, but I'm not sure that is a good idea either.

Sending an image with Dialogflow to Whatsapp user

Since a few days I develop a chatbot for Whatsapp using Dialogflow, Twilio and Heroku to host my NodeJS server. I only use free services.
What I want to do is to return a gif to a user. For example, the user sends a keyword and the chatbot returns a random gif from that word. In reading the documentation I found, I can't find the appropriate part of the JSON where I must insert the url of the gif to send.
I would like to know how to do it or maybe it is not possible with the services I use ?
PS : Sorry for my English
It's always better to tell what all things you have tried before posting the question so it makes answering the question better and precise.
Anyway you can do that by using Fulfillment. Just enable the Fulfillment in the Intent in which you want to send the image. Then go to Fulfillment on the left-menu and enable Inline Editor (you will need to add a billing account). Write the code for sending the image there.

Post to Node.js Server from Within HTML e-mail

I am writing a simple mailing application, however I am not yet aware of the full capabilities of HTML editing within the mailing world.
I would like to give the website administrator the choice to accept or to refuse a reservation by sending him an overview of the reservation. Below in the mail I had 2 buttons in mind, accept & refuse.
I tried using a form within the HTML e-mail but almost every mailing client blocks this out.
Is there another method to do a http post command to let's say myserver.com/accept or myserver.com/refuse from within an e-mail without having to open an additional webpage?
If not, what is the best way to achieve such things?
This is a pretty relevant article: https://www.sitepoint.com/forms-in-email/
Basically he concludes that support is not reliable so you should not use forms in emails which I agree with.
Since you say you want to give this choice to a website administrator I think you probably want some sort of authentication. So I could see it working something like this...
Send the admin an email containing two links mysite.com/reservations/:reservation_id/accept and mysite.com/reservations/:reservation_id/refuse.
Admin clicks on one of the links
Link opens in the browser and your site(controller -> ReservationService) accepts or refuses based on the id and action in the url
You will have a few things to consider, such as authentication(I assume you already have this since you have the notion of website admin?), authorization(can this admin accept or deny the reservation?), does the reservation exist, has the admin already accepted or denied the reservation, etc.

Html / Email / Distribution list problem from a noob

I need to create a feature for a website that will allow a user to enter their email in order to receive a free promotion (which will be emailed immediately) and be added to an announcement list. I haven't done any web programming and am wondering where I should start?
Should I just create a database and everytime an email is entered, add the email to the database, then when I want to send out an announcement just write a script that will send an email to every address?
Thanks!
Sites like Campaigner do all of this for you. Why re-invent the wheel.
You could use emailing list software; on a Linux box, that would be Mailman, http://www.list.org/.
Use ASP.NET express. Configure send e-mail and sore whatever you need in the database.

send database info to email

I was wondering if sanyone could help me with the following:
I have some info inserted into mysql database on a couple of pages. After this is done I retrieve these info (in a new page) from the database and want to send them via email to various emails including one from the info from database.
I have built the email() function and "SELECT" all the info from the database (have them into some HIDDEN fields).
I am not sure how to go about getting these info sent via email.
I have tried, but all I get is an empty email with no info from database.
Hope I explained my problem and someone can give me clue about this.
Many thanks
Francesco
MySQL does not include a feature for sending email. So you'll need to write additional software to handle the job for you.
One issue to decide, how will the email be requested? -- How will the process be initiated?
You could have your web page (written in PHP or any other language), which shows the information on the screen also send the email. See sending email from php.
A better performing idea is to first queue up your requests for sending emails. That way you won't slow down your web server. Then have a background job process each of the requests, reading the database and sending off the emails. Google for "php background processing" for help or ask more questions on StackOverflow.
Also, remember to check that your email is not being treated as spam.
Re: using the data from the database for sending the email--that's easy, just read the database, then use the information for creating the email's to, cc, subject and other fields.
