Sending Email Templates with Deluge Script
Sending Email Templates with Deluge Script
For Zoho users, the ability to send templated emails is essential for consistent and efficient communication. While Zoho provides robust email functionalities, sometimes you need to dynamically inject content from your email templates directly into your zoho deluge sendmail task. This allows for greater flexibility and automation in your workflows.
Traditionally, sending emails using the zoho deluge sendmail task might involve constructing the HTML content directly within the script. However, this can become cumbersome and difficult to manage, especially for complex or frequently updated templates. By leveraging Zoho's API, you can now render existing email templates and use their content within your deluge custom functions.
The core idea is to use the Zoho Desk API (or the relevant Zoho service API where your templates are stored) to "render" a specific email template. This rendering process takes your defined template, including any placeholders for dynamic data, and generates the complete HTML body. Once you have this HTML content, you can then use it within your deluge script to send a personalized email.
This approach ensures that your email's design and structure remain consistent, as they are managed within the zoho email template editor. Your deluge script then focuses on the automation logic and populating the dynamic fields within that pre-designed template.
