myFMbutler AutoSender 2.5.5

Automatically send e-mails, faxes or SMS text messages from FileMaker Server
myFMbutler AutoSender is a messaging solution robot that allows you to automatically send e-mails from your FileMaker solutions, based on the status of a FileMaker field. You can easily manage several files from which to send e-mail.

AutoSender also supports automatic sending of faxes or SMS text messages through the use of a third party fax or SMS service.



Send mail from FileMaker Server without using the standard mail client
Because AutoSender has its own built-in mail engine, it does not use the standard e-mail program on the client machine: this allows an easier setup, and offers more reliability, as you have more control over what's happening from within your application.

What's new in version 2.5 ?
• support for multi-part mixed mail messages that contain both an HTML version and a plain text alternative
• support for embedded enclosures in an HTML e-mail, using the cid: (Content-ID) URL scheme
• added a preference to automatically clear cached attachments
• a status indicator in the Preferences now shows whether the daemon/service is running or not
• added a preference to automatically load AutoSender at startup or to start it manually
• added support for XML over SSL
• complete code clean-up and optimization



Features
• AutoSender's engine checks which e-mails need to be sent, based on FileMaker field criteria
• Communicates with FM Server using either JDBC or XML
• Runs a a background process (a daemon on MacOS X - a service on Windows)
• Supports plain text as well as HTML e-mail, and mixed plain/HTML messages
• Allows for multiple files / tables to be checked for e-mails to be sent, whether on a local LAN or over the internet
• Logging of date and time when e-mail was sent
• Reporting of unsent e-mails
• Support for attachments, stored either externally or in a container field
• Integrates fax and SMS functionality through the use of 3rd party fax or SMS services


Benefits
• A single solution manages automated messaging from different FileMaker solutions
• Easy installation and maintenance - does not require any installation on the client side
• Does not use the e-mail client on the user machine, so you have more control over what's happening after the e-mails have left FileMaker
• AutoSender can run on the server, or on a separate machine - it can even connect to the FileMaker server over Internet
• Ideal for integration in IWP solutions (e.g. send e-mails automatically when new records are created, when records have changed, etc.)
• Extensible architecture - can also be used for fax and SMS text messaging using a third party mail-to-fax or mail-to-sms provider

• Either FileMaker Server 11 (or 9, 10) with XML publishing enabled, or FileMaker Server 9 or 10 Advanced with ODBC/JDBC sharing enabled (FMS 11 notsupported yet).

What our customers say about PrinterSwitch:

In my opionion, this is an absolute MUST for any FM8, 8.5 or 9 developer. So a huge "thank you" for putting me out of my misery with over 10 days wasted trying to get FileMaker printing to work on a variety of Windows machines.
