insert content from external url

Post by maoz »

Hello,
Is it possible to dynamically insert (inject) data from external url to the content of the email when sending?
so that openemm will pull the content from an external url and plant it inside the email.

On emailvision /smartfocous it is done as follow:
[EMV EXTERNAL][EMV CACHED]true[EMV /CACHED][EMV URLNAME]http://www.somedomain.com/somecontent.html [EMV /URLNAME][EMV /EXTERNAL]
is it possible with openemm?

So, I guess that I’m not clear enough / it is not possible / nobody know :( :( :(
I'll try to explain myself,
I want to create something like a cron job that run on some hour everyday, go to url from my website take the latest posts (like http://domain.com/somepath/today_new_content.php) and send it to the recipients that registered to the service.
the header and footer of the mail will be fixed by OpenEMM template and the content will be dynamically generated from new content of my website.

is there a way to do it? Is it possible to develop something like plugin for openemm that will enable it? can some one point me to docs that explain it?
