Sending Email From Datapage In Both Html And Plain Text

[maverick]

My datapage sends auto-emails when an order is placed. The emails are sent in HTML format. I have been reading on the web at various blogs that all HTML formatted emails should go out with Plain Text versions as well. This is required because some older clients especially some mobile email clients cant parse HTML correctly.

 

This is highly recommended and is a standard feature of emails sent via MailChimp, Constant Contact etc.

 

Unfortunately Caspio seems to only allow one option or the other. Is there a way to achieve this in Caspio?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Even for outlook if you send an email in HTML format but you receive it in plain text format it is readable. I think with new mobile phones there should not be any problem

Hello @maverick,

Since Caspio releases 12.0, you can choose between Plain Text and HTML for the emails. This can be done through Triggered Actions.
