Call a custom js function and use the result in email

[Amal Vellappillil]

Hi,

Is it possible to call a custom js function and use its results from within an email template? I would like to use the return value just like using a variable {var:variablename} or field value {fin}.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thank you,
Amal Vellappillil

I don’t understand what you mean – can’t you just return your data to a variable and use it in the email template?

If that won’t work you must give me some more information so I can fully understand what you mean.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for your reply. I understand it’s possible to create a variable and use it an email template like {var:variableName}. I was just curious if there was a way to bypass that step of defining a variable and setting the variable.

Ex:

var fullName = "";
function setFullName(firstName, lastName) {
    fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;
}

function getFullName(firstName, lastName) {
    return firstName + " " + lastName;
}

Instead of calling the setFullName function first then using the variable name fullName in the email template, I was wondering if there was a way to just use getFullName itself in email template.

Hope I made things clear.

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately you cannot call a function directly in the email template.
