Using AddEmail in JScript projects

Using AddEmail in JScript projects

Previous Top Next

AddEmail ActiveX can be used with any environment that supports JScript. Windows has built-in JScript support and can execute JScript files that have .JS extension. To use AddEmail ActiveX from JScript code create SmtpMail object and send a message using SimpleSendScriptable, SimpleSendAttachmentScriptable or SendScriptable. Please use code snapshots below to get started.

Snapshot 1: simple text email.

var objSmtpMail, strError, numResultCode;
objSmtpMail = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.SmtpMail");
objSmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.myserver.com";
objSmtpMail.SmtpUsername = "jsmith";
objSmtpMail.SmtpPassword = "mypassword";
numResultCode = objSmtpMail.SimpleSendScriptable("jsmith@myserver.com", "jane@someserver.com;james@someserver.com", "test", "Test message", strError);
if (numResultCode == 0)
{
    WScript.Echo("Sent successfully!");
}
else
{
    strError = objSmtpMail.GetLastErrorDescription();
    WScript.Echo(strError);
}

Snapshot 2: text email with attachments.

var objSmtpMail, strError, numResultCode;
objSmtpMail = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.SmtpMail")
objSmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.myserver.com";
objSmtpMail.SmtpUsername = "jsmith";
objSmtpMail.SmtpPassword = "mypassword";
numResultCode = objSmtpMail.SimpleSendAttachmentScriptable("jsmith@myserver.com", "jane@someserver.com;james@someserver.com", "test", "Test message", "c:\\files\\doc1.pdf;c:\\files\\doc2.pdf", strError);
if (numResultCode == 0)
{
    WScript.Echo("Sent successfully!");
}
else
{
    strError = objSmtpMail.GetLastErrorDescription();
    WScript.Echo(strError);
}

Snapshot 3: HTML message with attachments.

var objSmtpMail, objMailMessage, objMailAttachment, objMailAddress, strError, numResultCode
objSmtpMail = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.SmtpMail");
objSmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.myserver.com";
objSmtpMail.SmtpUsername = "jsmith";
objSmtpMail.SmtpPassword = "mypassword";
objSmtpMail.SmtpSSL = false;

// Create message and setup subject and body
objMailMessage = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.MailMessage");
objMailMessage.MessageBodyFormat = 1; //HTML format
objMailMessage.MessageSubject = "test";
objMailMessage.MessageBody = "<html><body><b>Testing...</b></body></html>";

// Add first attachment
objMailAttachment = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.MailAttachment");
objMailAttachment.File = "c:\\files\\doc1.pdf";
objMailMessage.AddAttachment(objMailAttachment);

// Add second attachment
objMailAttachment = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.MailAttachment");
objMailAttachment.File = "c:\\files\\doc2.pdf";
objMailMessage.AddAttachment(objMailAttachment);

// Setup sender
objMailAddress = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.MailAddress");
objMailAddress.Name = "John Smith";
objMailAddress.Address = "jsmith@myserver.com";
objMailMessage.Sender = objMailAddress;

// Setup first recipient
objMailAddress = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.MailAddress");
objMailAddress.Name = "Jane Smith";
objMailAddress.Address = "jane@someserver.com";
objMailMessage.AddRecipient(objMailAddress);

// Setup second recipient
objMailAddress = new ActiveXObject("AddEmail.MailAddress");
objMailAddress.Name = "James Smith";
objMailAddress.Address = "james@someserver.com";
objMailMessage.AddRecipient(objMailAddress);

// Send prepared message synchronously
numResultCode = objSmtpMail.SendScriptable(objMailMessage, true, strError);
if (numResultCode == 0)
{
    WScript.Echo("Sent successfully!");
}
else
{
    strError = objSmtpMail.GetLastErrorDescription();
    WScript.Echo(strError);
}
