I’m writing a script in SandBox that sends a email to a customer when they purchase from specific vendors. I’m using the email module and a string consisting of HTML for the body of the email. The email sends just fine and the HTML table itself is formatted correctly and displaying just fine, but I need to be able to use some javascript variables like customer name, items in order, department purchased from, etc in the HTML body of the email, but using something like document.getElementById().innerHTML doesn’t seem to be working. I was wondering if there is a work around for this.

Here is an example of a variable I would use:

Code:
var custName = record.load({
type: record.Type.CUSTOMER,
id: custId,
isDynamic: false
});
Here is an example of the problem I’m having using HTML as the body of the email.

Code:

,

Here is the full HTML body, you’ll see some {variables} in the HTML below, those are just place holders for the actually variables so this is a little easier to read.

Code:
var emailBody = ‘

If I was trying to add javascript variables to a string like that I would just concatenate using +. Using your example:

‘

‘ + cusName + ‘,

Wow, I was really overthinking this. Thanks for the help.

NateS When I do this I will put my variables in double brackets {{myvar}} and then I will use a regular expression with a global replace to update the string.
