Automatic Email Generation

Jan 23.2006

I would like to get some guidance on thi issue.

I have website where I take orders and I would like to email each customer with an order follow up email, 7 dyas after the order is completed. All the data of the order is in a SQL database.

How can this be done?
Do I need some type of application installed on the server in order to that? Do I need a html script added to my code?

ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!

@nickismeJan 23.2006 — You can do this best with PHP... how confident are you with MySQL btw?

@maoauthorJan 23.2006 — Thanks for the reply.

My website is on ASP and I am not familiar with PHP but I can catch up if I need to...

From 0 to 10 I think I am in the 4 or 5 undersntading of MYSQL.

@swtransJan 24.2006 — Here is something I use in SQL Server to send emails. Very crude, but it works. You could schedule a job every day, to execute a stored procedure that sends an email to any record that is a week old.

TRUNCATE TABLE _EmailText

INSERT INTO _EmailText

(Description)

SELECT *

FROM _JessIn

EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail '_____[email protected]',

@message=

'Here is the history from your

Account. Keep up the good work!

',

@query = 'SELECT * FROM Jess.._EmailText',

@subject = 'Transaction History'
×

Success!
