notify users about password expiration with html mail

Hi,

we are using a scheduled job in Adaxes to notify users that their password will expire in x days.
Now, we as IT were approached by Marketing to set up all our notification mails in HTML with corporate design and I need some help to configure Adaxes to send something like this:

<html>

<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; =
charset=us-ascii">

<title>Littelfuse</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<div align="center">
<div align="center">
<div>&nbsp;</div>

<table style="width: 704px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#666666">
          <tbody>
                   <tr>
                             <td bgcolor="#ffffff">
                             <table style="width: 700px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#666666" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff">
                                      <tbody>

                                                <tr>

Hello Ingemar,

The standard Send e-mail notification action supports sending mails in HTML format. To a action the Send e-mail notification action used in your Scheduled Task to send notifications in the HTML format, you need to do the following:

  1. Launch Adaxes Administration Console.
  2. In the Console Tree, navigate to and select the Scheduled Task you use to notify users. The actions and conditions of the Task will be displayed in the Result Pane (located to the right).
  3. Double-click the action that sends the e-mail notifications.
  4. In the drop-down list located next to the Message field, select HTML.
  5. After this, you can either edit the HTML code directly in the Message field
    or click the HTML Editor button to edit the message in a WYSIWYG HTML editor.

Ingemar,

The possibility to send HTML-formatted messages using the standard Send e-mail notification action appeared only in Adaxes 2013.2, so we suggest that you upgrade. If you cannot upgrade to a newer version, you can send e-mail notifications using PowerShell scripts. Here's a small example on how to send an HTML message using the built-in PowerShell cmdlet Send-MailMessage:

# Email message setings
$to = "%mail%" # TODO: modify me
$from = "noreplay@domain.com" # TODO: modify me
$smtpServer = "mail.domain.com" # TODO: modify me
$subject = "My Subject" # TODO: modify me
$messageBody = "
<html>

<body style='font-family:Arial; font-size: 13px'>
<p>Dear %name%,</p>
<p>Your account expires on %accountExpires%.</p>
</body>

</html>" # TODO: modify me

# Send message
Send-MailMessage -To $to -from $from -SmtpServer $smtpServer -Subject $subject -Body $messageBody -BodyAsHtml

To add the script to your Scheduled Task, use the Run a program or PowerShell script action.
