How to Format Sendgrid Emails

[Ed]

Hello,

Using Sendgrid, I applied the following Javascript (which I found in this forum) in order to combine multiple form fields into the main Text section of the email:

var text = "";
//Here you need to fill all fields you want send to email.
text += "EventTitle= " + Apperyio("EventTitle").val() + "";
text += "Company= " + Apperyio("Company").val() + "";
text += "first_Name= " + Apperyio("first_Name").val() + "";
text += "last_Name= " + Apperyio("last_Name").val() + "";
return text;

However, the email arrives unformatted as follows:

EventTitle= XYZ EventCompany= ABC Companyfirst_Name= Johnlast_Name= Doe

Instead, I would like it to be formatted as follows:

EventTitle= XYZ Event
Company= ABC Company
first_Name= John
last_Name= Doe

Thank you in advance!

Hello Ed,

You have to add newline symbol "\n" at the end of the each string

Hello Sergiy,

Where exactly would you insert it each symbol? I tried it but it did not work.

var text = "";
//Here you need to fill all fields you want send to email.
text += "EventTitle= " + Apperyio("EventTitle").val() + "";
text += "Company= " + Apperyio("Company").val() + "";
text += "first_Name= " + Apperyio("first_Name").val() + "";
text += "last_Name= " + Apperyio("last_Name").val() + "";
return text;

I tried the following but it did not work:

var text = "";
//Here you need to fill all fields you want send to email.
text += "EventTitle= " + Apperyio("EventTitle").val() + "\n";
text += "Company= " + Apperyio("Company").val() + "\n";
text += "first_Name= " + Apperyio("first_Name").val() + "\n";
text += "last_Name= " + Apperyio("last_Name").val() + "\n";
return text;

Resolved it. I used "\n\n" (instead of "\n").

Also, is there a Javascript to permanently CC the same email address on every form submission in Sendgrid?

[Ed]

For some reason "\n" does not work. However, "\n\n" works but it adds an extra line break as follows:

EventTitle= XYZ Event

Company= ABC Company

first_Name= John

last_Name= Doe

I want it to look like the following without the extra line break:

EventTitle= XYZ Event
Company= ABC Company
first_Name= John
last_Name= Doe

[Ed]

Also, in addition to capturing the Text fields, how would I capture the value of "checked" checkboxes within the form?

[Serhii Kulibaba]

You can check "\n\r" for a new line.

Please use :checked selector for that functionality

[Ed]

I tried "\n\r" but it is still returning the extra line break as follows:

EventTitle= XYZ Event

Company= ABC Company

first_Name= John

last_Name= Doe

Ed, you can use "html" parameter instead of "text" and send HTML-formatted mail instead of plain text.
