Sharepoint Designer HTML Emails
Posted on April 22nd, 2009 4 commentsBeen working on a lot of tweaks to a registration site we are creating. I’ve been working through all of the notifications that are being sent out by the system. Plain Text is ok, but HTML is better. If you plan to use HTML in the work flow emails, there’s one tip I can give you, remove all spacing and avoid an indented structure.
I think Exchange does not like the way the HTML emails come over and interprets extra spaces as line breaks.
What I did was to create a well formed HTML page in Dreamweaver so I could sort it all out properly. After it was completed, backspace was my friend and the resulting code I pasted into my email step was:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">Dear '',</p><p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">This is a confirmation that you are scheduled to teach ' ' on ' ' located at ' '.</p><p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">Click <a href="https://mydomain/sites/CFERegistration">here</a> to view the CFE Workshop Registration site.</p><p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">Sincerely,<br /><a href="http://www.mydomain/cfe">Center for Faculty Excellence</a><br />Questions or comments, <a href="mailto:CFE@mydomain?subject=CFE Workshop Registration">email us</a>!</p></body></html>
I then went in and added all the Sharepoint lookups into my email where I wanted them and it started firing off emails as I wanted them.
In short, compact that HTML and remove all the structure you may be used to.
