Email in HTML

Hi,

Is it possible to send an email from Data Services in HTML format? Ultimately, I would like to run a select statement and then place the results of that statement into the body of the email in the form of a table. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Brian

That is not possible, as far as I know. I believe that it sends a “Plain text” email. So if you put HTML tags in the body text then the reader of the email would see all those tags.

To do what you want you would have to use a third party email utility.

Hi Brian,

I have to do something similar (select statement and results in a table in the email) so just curious if there has been anything new in DS that could make this work?
And if not, any recommendations on what other tool to use?

Thanks !!
