Use users Full Name in E-Mail body

[Patrick Schuh [brainbits]]

Hi Fidel,

I want to use the Users Full Name within the body of an email send by the new send email function. But I'm not sure about the syntax.

I used something like this within a HTML-formatted mail:

<font face="arial" size="2">
<strong>Contributors:</strong><br />
Programmer: %{10701} <br />
Expert: %{10702} </font>

I found the hint about getting the user name by this function:

userFullName(string user)

But how to integrate this?

Thank you Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I assume that you are you using "Send an email" post-function. Currently you can't use userFullName(string user) in the summary or body of the email, but you can use the following trick:

1. Use "Copy a parsed text to a field" post-function previously for storing the user full names into "Ephemeral string 1" and "Ephemeral string 2" virtual fields. You should use the following configurations:

• Target field: Ephemeral string 1
• Parsing mode: advanced
• Text to be parsed: userFullName(%{10701})

and

• Target field: Ephemeral string 2
• Parsing mode: advanced
• Text to be parsed: userFullName(%{10702})

Now you can use field codes for Ephemeral string 1 (%{00061}) and Ephemeral string 2 (%{00062}):

<font face="arial" size="2">
<strong>Contributors:</strong><br />
Programmer: %{00061} <br />
Expert: %{00062} </font>
