I'm trying to send an email from a FirefoxOS App to share content generated by it.
Currently I'm using:
var createEmail = new MozActivity({
name: "new",
data: {
type : "mail",
}
});
But I haven't been able to find any way of appending or attaching content to this email
Thanks to #sebasmagri answer I learnt that the "mailto" URI accepts many more fields than I knew about. Specially interesting is the body and subject:
mailto:someone#example.com?
cc=someone_else#example.com
&subject=This%20is%20the%20subject
&body=This%20is%20the%20body
This allows me to set the different parts of the email as I wanted to.
The final code looks like:
var body = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(event.target.result));
var createEmail = new MozActivity({
name: "new",
data: {
type : "mail",
url: "mailto:?subject=FiREST%20Request&body=" + body,
}
});
It looks like you can set attachments through data.blobs and data.filenames, and misc content (to, subject, content) through data.URI.
Detauls about the mailto: syntax can be found in the MDN entry on Email links.

Edit May 2014
As the mail app was refactored, I've dropped the old broken code link in favour of MDN docs.

I'm sending some emails via sendgrid and nodejs. I have a content to sent, but i'm unable to add a good body like below
Body:
Hi
You are receiving this email as a reminder to enter time for the day.
Best Regards, Operations Team
I'm able to send mail with the message only and couldn't find a way to add the "Best Regards,
Operations Team" lines. Please give an insight.
my code,
sgmail.setApiKey(process.env.API_KEY);
const msg = {
to: '########', // Change to your recipient
from: "######", // Change to your verified sender
subject: `Reminder for Time Entry`,
text: "Hi You are recieving this email as a reminder to enter time for the day.",
html: "<h1> Hi You are recieving this email as a reminder to enter time for the day.</h1>",
}
sgmail.send(msg);
In plain text you can add line breaks and they will display in the email. Note that you can use backticks (`) to write multiline strings in JavaScript. For HTML emails, you should wrap different lines in different paragraph (<p>) tags. Try the following:
sgmail.setApiKey(process.env.API_KEY);
const textMessage = `Hi
You are receiving this email as a reminder to enter time for the day.
Best Regards, Operations Team`;
const htmlMessages = `<p>Hi</p>
<p>You are receiving this email as a reminder to enter time for the day.</p>
<p>Best Regards, Operations Team</p>`;
const msg = {
to: '########', // Change to your recipient
from: "######", // Change to your verified sender
subject: `Reminder for Time Entry`,
text: textMessage,
html: htmlMessage,
}
sgmail.send(msg);
I want to create new Content Type which will be child of existing Content Type - Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) using REST API.
So when I create request, I include parent Content Type Id in new Id.
I have tried following code.
const api = '/_api/web/contenttypes';
const requestBody = {
'__metadata': {
'type': 'SP.ContentType',
},
'Description': 'This is content type',
'Name': 'TestContentType',
'Group': 'TestContentTypeGroup',
'Id': {
'__metadata': {
'type': 'SP.ContentTypeId'
},
'StringValue': '0x0108003365C4474CAE8C42BCE396314E88E51F000x010056401AE39A088645AD0597364A428033'
}
};
const requestHeaders = {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'content-type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': <digestValue>
};
const requestData = JSON.stringify(requestBody);
var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(<AppWebUrl>);
executor..executeAsync({
url: '<BaseUrl>' + api,
method: 'POST',
body: requestData,
headers: requestHeaders,
success: res => {
console.log(res);
},
error: error => {
console.log(error);
}
});
It does create new content type TestContentType but it inherits from Item Content Type and it does't have same Id which I provided in request. It randomly generates any id.
Can anyone please help with that?
This is actually a bug in the REST API...
Here is a link to an issue ,filed for the PnP JS library, where adding a content type is implemented the same way as you did: https://github.com/pnp/pnpjs/issues/457
Patrick Rodgers also filed an issue with Microsoft to resolve it: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/3276
This means that for now, unfortunately, there is no way of doing this with REST.
What you can do is upvote the issue to give it more visibility and hope it will be resolved soon.
As far I know this bug still persist. I found workaround which can help somebody who cannot use CSOM or JSOM. You can use Site script to define new site content type and specify parent content type name or Id. This site script you can wrap in a Site design and apply this Site design through REST API.
Unfortunately this workaround is useful only if you create the same site content type on different sites. And of course you can create multiple Site scripts and Site designs for each content type.
Hi and I I am not a pain, I got help on sending a statement and that worked perfectly, but I need to send invoices with it but I can't find a method for that like I did for the statement. I find references to using a template file, then you have to store the file in the cabinet. I have to attach there to emails, what would you think the best way to do this?
Here is the other link, he gave a very helpful complete answer about sending statements. I should have asked him about invoices at the same time but I didn't think of it, apologies.
SuiteScript 2 can send pdf statements
added additional info
Ok I tried this but I am getting an error that doesn't make sense as I am using their templates.
"error.SuiteScriptError","name":"USER_ERROR","message":"Error Parsing XML: The reference to entity \"c\" must end with the ';' delimiter.",
require(['N/render', 'N/file', 'N/record'],
function(render, file, record) {
function renderRecordToPdfWithTemplate() {
var renderer = render.create();
renderer.setTemplateByScriptId("STDTMPLCUSTINVC");
var xml = renderer.renderAsString();
renderer.addRecord(record.Type.INVOICE, record.create({
type: record.Type.INVOICE,
id:415619
}));
var invoicePdf = renderer.renderAsPdf();
var foo = this;
}
renderRecordToPdfWithTemplate();
});
thanks for any help with this
Ok I found it thanks if anyone was looking for this for me. It is pretty straightforward, but like NetSuite always is, you have to find it. :)
the entityid is the invoice internalid the rest is easy, then just pass the file object to the email.
require( [ 'N/render', 'N/file', 'N/record' ],
function( render, file, record ) {
function renderRecordToPdfWithTemplate() {
var transactionFile = render.transaction({
entityId: 415619,
printMode: render.PrintMode.PDF
});
var foo = this;
}
renderRecordToPdfWithTemplate();
} );
thanks again
I'm trying to get the GitHub user picture (avatar) from users of GitHub.
I've found these API:
https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/<username>
https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/<userid>
But I can't find a way to get the avatar from the user email or the user display name.
I can't find documentation about that.
Is there some similar URL API to get what I'm looking for?
You can append .png to the URL for the User's profile to get redirected to their avatar. You can add the query param size to specify a size smaller than the default of 460px wide (i.e. it won't allow larger than 460).
Examples:
https://github.com/twbs.png
https://github.com/npm.png?size=200
https://github.com/github.png?size=40
https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-a-single-user
Use the /users/:user endpoint. Should be under avatar_url in the returned json.
For example, my avatar_url can be found by hitting this url.
Edit
There is another way I can think of that is kind of roundabout. Since GitHub uses Gravatar, if you know the email associated with the account, do an md5 hash of the lowercase, stripped email address and construct a url like http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/[md5_here].
This is an old post but nobody has proposed Github Search Users API with scope field :
using in:email : https://api.github.com/search/users?q=bmartel+in%3Aemail
using in:username : https://api.github.com/search/users?q=Bertrand+Martel+in%3Ausername
Or using new Graphql API v4 :
{
search(type: USER, query: "in:email bmartel", first: 1) {
userCount
edges {
node {
... on User {
avatarUrl
}
}
}
}
}
Using GraphQL API v4, this will work too
Query (for username)-
{
user(login: "username") {
avatarUrl
}
}
Response -
{
"data": {
"user": {
"avatarUrl": "https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/..."
}
}
}
GitHub avatar can be accessed through https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/YOUR_USER_ID
Optionally, you can modify the size at the end like so https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/YOUR_USER_ID?s=460
I wish to have a template render some data which needs to be passed back to the caller of render. For example, I am using a template to generate emails, for which I need a subject as well as the body. I would like to do something like this:
app.render( 'email', function(err,html) {
subject = ?get from template somehow?
postEmail( subject, html, user_addr );
});
That is, I wish for the template to decide what should appear in the subject (preferably without creating another template just for the subject line).
Not sure if you figured this out yet, but you can send back information from Jade by altering the value of the arguments.
email.jade:
- subject.text = "Hi " + user + ", welcome to the site.";
| Subject: #{subject.text}
app.js:
args = { user: 'Test User', subject: { text: '' } };
app.render( 'email', args, function(err,html) {
subject = args.subject.text;
postEmail( subject, html, user_addr );
});
It has to be a nested object (i.e. subject.text instead of simply subject), otherwise you won't get the modified data. Although, if you call templates created with jade.compile() directly, then the nesting appears to be unnecessary. I think express must make a shallow copy of the arguments before sending it to the view engine.
