Sending HTML email

armstrs01 · Unread post by **armstrs01** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 12:15 pm

I have a nuBuilder Pro app that sends emails to users when certain events occur (e.g. an item ships from our stores). I would like to send these emails as formatted HTML, rather than plain text. However, if I embed HTML tags in the message body (see code below), these just apear in the email as text. Are there any settings, either in nuBuilder on the server that I need to change in order for the email to be sent as HTML?

Many thanks,
Simon Armstrong.

I have just updated nuBuilderPro to make it easier to send html emails.

First you need to do an update by clicking on the update button inside nuBuilder then follow the documentation that I have also just updated here
