Hi,

We use Hebrew unicode (UTF-8) settings and use "Send email with new data" after record updated.

We'are getting question marks instead of Hebrew characters.

What can we do about it?

Here is a print screen: print screen
Thanks

Make sure you select correct encoding when sending an email:

Hi thanks.

Do you mean charset?

I use VB do you have an example for VB?
Pete K 10/10/2017

Try passing the charset attribute as "UTF-8" to the mail function.

The example here:https://www.xlinesof...il_function.htm is on C#

Hi, it's exactly as the action example, I didn't change anything yet:



Public Function AfterAdd(values As Object, keys As Object, inline As Object, pageObject As Object) As XVar
'********** Send email with new data ************
Dim email = "test@test.com"

Dim from = "admin@test.com"

Dim msg = New StringBuilder("")

Dim subject = "New data record"
For Each field In values.GetEnumerator()

If Not CType(CommonFunctions.IsBinaryType(pageObject.pSet.getFieldType(field.Key)), Boolean) Then

msg.Append(field.Key.ToString() & " : " & field.Value.ToString() & Environment.NewLine)

End If

Next



Dim ret = MVCFunctions.runner_mail(New XVar("to", email, "subject", subject, "body", msg.ToString(), "from", from))

If Not CType(ret("mailed"), Boolean) Then

MVCFunctions.EchoToOutput(ret("message"))

End If

Hi! thanks! But it didn't help...

This is the print screen of the email:

And this is the code:


If values("Lead_Status").ToString()="הועבר לטיפולוג" then
'********** Send email with new data ************
Dim email = "support@emailaddress.co.il"

Dim from = "info@emailaddress.co.il"

Dim msg = New StringBuilder("")

Dim Link = "http://cccmrmm.cliniclics.com/dbo_Crm_Leads/view?editid1="; & values("Id_lead").ToString() & " "

Dim subject = "ליד חדש לטיפולוג"
For Each field In values.GetEnumerator()

If Not CType(CommonFunctions.IsBinaryType(pageObject.pSet.getFieldType(field.Key)), Boolean) Then

msg.Append(field.Key.ToString() & " : " & field.Value.ToString() & Environment.NewLine)

End If

Next
Dim ret = MVCFunctions.runner_mail(New XVar("to", email, "subject", subject, "body", msg.ToString()& " CcrmLink: " & link.ToString(), "from", from, "charset", "utf-8"))

If Not CType(ret("mailed"), Boolean) Then

MVCFunctions.EchoToOutput(ret("message"))

End If
else
End if

You need to post your project to Demo Account and contact support directly.

I still think the issue is with the charset. I was guessing that utf-8 would do the trick, but I know nothing about encoding for non-Latin languages. I suggest you do some research on encoding for Hebrew characters and try different encodings when passing that parameter to the function, i.e., change "utf-8" to something else.

Sorry I can't. I have a private database.

Thanks a lot! I'll try

What prevents you from building a test project with non-sensitive test data and uploading it to Demo Account?

Cause I'm not so good with SQL and duplicate DB. In this project I'm connected to exist data and I don't know how to rebuild it...
I'll try a few encodings and let you know

Thanks!
