I have to do a custom html email, formatted using suitescript that will have a custom data source. How can I do that?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create a custom HTML email formatted using SuiteScript with a custom data source, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a custom field: If the data you want to include in the email is related to a specific record, you can create a custom field on that record and populate it with the necessary data. This field can then be referenced in your email template. 2. Use a JavaScript template engine: If you're scripting, you can directly insert the data into your email template using a JavaScript template engine like Handlebars or lodash's

_.template()

. This allows you to replace known tokens in your template with data from your script. 3. Use a beforeLoad script: Depending on the context, you can use a beforeLoad script to add data to the email template. 4. Use a Suitelet: If you want to customize the email content per transfer or similar, you could add a button that opens a window to a Suitelet that does your emailing. Here's a simple example of how you might use lodash's

_.template()

function to insert data into an email template:

javascript
var template = _.template("Hello, <%= name %>!");
var message = template({ 'name': 'John Doe' });
// message now contains "Hello, John Doe!"

Remember, the method you choose will depend on your specific use case and the nature of the data you want to include in the email. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
