I have created a simple viewon dashboard but would like to add a small feature.
I want to send an email whenever I click a button. The email will stay the same so
I don’t need to update the email, how can I do this?
It is actually pretty easy to accomplish this. It is even easier because we are just using a static email address.
What you will want to do is assign a BASIC script to your button. So when you click the button, it will execute the scrip thus sending the email out!
The script is only a few lines of code (though it can be even shorter).
The below script will allow you to fill in the blanks to send whatever you would like.
t$ = "To email address"
c$ = "CC email field"
s$ = "Email Subject"
b$ = "Email Body"
SENDMAIL t$, c$, s$, b$
To add this into your ViewOn project do the following:
-
Add a button to your view
-
Select Actions from the lower left submenu.
-
Next click the
icon inside of the action panel. -
Select Send --> Command
-
Now under the Tag to write field, click the small
icon. -
Select BASIC Script and add the above script to that section.
-
Finally, just select OK.

You are all done with this part!
NOTE:
- You must have an SMTP server configured on your eWON. If you do not have a server provided by your company, feel free to use the Talk2M Free email relay. .

Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Hi Jseanor,
it worked fine thanks for that.
i still have a questions because i’m not so familiar with the scripting.
the ‘b$ = “email body”’ can i also link it to a text field?
how can i do this?
thank you
Hello, This is possible though a basic script in the ViewOn project. Here is a screen shot of a script i wrote. In this example i grabbed a string and saved it to a email variable. This script is executed when you hit enter. Then in Basic i have an onChange event that uses the string.
Thank you verry much!
