Using custom data in an email confirmation

Thanks, David – we’re going to dive into this and I may circle back with you if need be!

-p.

Hi again – here is another example that adds custom data retrieved from a stored procedure to one or more line items in the order confirmation data:

<%

    Tessitura.WebAPI.Tessitura tess = new Tessitura.WebAPI.Tessitura();

    string sessionkey = tess.GetNewSessionKey("");

    ds = tess.ExecuteLocalProcedure(sessionkey, 114, "@ORDER_NO=" + OrderData.OrderNumber);

   for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count; ++i)

    {

        string liSeqNo = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["li_seq_no"].ToString();

        string pkgDesc = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["pkg_desc"].ToString();

        XmlNode xm = OrderData.CartDocument.SelectSingleNode("//LineItem[li_seq_no=" + liSeqNo + "]");

        if (xm != null)

        {

            XmlElement xePkgDesc = OrderData.CartDocument.CreateElement("new_pkg_desc");

            xePkgDesc.InnerText = pkgDesc;

            xm.AppendChild(xePkgDesc);

        }          

    }

Subject: [Tessitura Technical Forum] Using custom data in an email confirmation

(I'm cross-posting this to a couple of forums; apologies to those who get multiple copies...)

Tessiturians -

I am currently working with our DBA to investigate the possibility of creating an order confirmation email that can be used by our financial aid staff. Currently, we use an excel sheet (shudder) and a Word/Outlook mail merge (shudder again) to accomplish this. Ideally, it would be infinitely better if the staff person could just send a confirmation right from Tess instead.

The problem we are running into is including some custom data in these confirmations. Our DBA and I have only a small smidgen of experience with Web API stuff, but from reading the documentation we are unsure about bringing in some of the data elements we'd like to have on the confirmation. Specifically, the name of the Recipient for each line item, and the total financial aid disbursement (which is recorded on a custom screen on the constituent record).

Does anyone have experience with doing something like this?

Thanks!
