Using form data in action based mailing

Post by lulyn »

Hi there,

I'm trying to simulate "forward to friend" functionality within OpenEMM (just partly as I don't think sending the original newsletter/mailing is even possible). The recipient would click on the link in newsletter, new form with name and email would be shown, after submitting it email would be sent to the friend saying something like "your friend xyz likes this...".

So far I've got a form with the information I need but I don't know how to get it into the mailing. There are 2 things to consider:

1) The actual recipient (friend) - I guess this it a tough one. How to send email to nonexistent recipient (email address in the original form)
2) Data about sender - like name, etc. which should be used in the mailing itself. I guess AGN tags or something could be used? But again how to link them?

To me it looks like this action base mailing approach won't work in my case. Is there other way how to do this?

Cheers
