Hi,

I a trying to create av EmailRecipientProvider that adds som custom content to the emails. 

As I understand I should use the GetRecipientContentContext for this. 

Would this be the right way to populate a {{MyCustomTag}} in an email template? Propable not because I can't get it to work. :) 

        public override PageViewContext GetRecipientContentContext(Recipient recipient)
        {
            var pvc = new PageViewContext();
            pvc.SetValue("MyCustomTag", "MyCustomContent");            

            return pvc;
        }

Whats missing? Something with the recipient.RecipientKey?

Regards / Aki

Hi Aki,

In your provider you overrides GetRecipients() method.

Here, for each recipient you could set custom tags:

recipient.TagValueCollection.Add("MyCustomTag", "MyCustomContent");

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir, 

Thanks. 

In my GetRecipiants() I have this now.  

            foreach (var user in userCollection)
            {
                var recipient = new Recipient
                {
                    EmailAddress = user.Email, 
                    Name = user.Name, 
                    RecipientKey = Convert.ToString(user.ID)
                };

                recipient.TagValueCollection.Add("MyCustomTag", "MyCustomContent");
                recipients.Add(recipient);
            }

What do I need to put in the GetRecipientContentContext() ? I need to implement it also.

Regards / Aki

Hi Aki,

Sorry, could you clarify why you need to implement GetRecipientContentContext()?

It is needed to store some additional data and then it could be used in razor renderer (@PageView.Context ).

You could put here any you want....

 

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi,

Well I am required to be override it when I inherit from EmailRecipientProvider.

So I think it at least needs something like. 

            var pvc = new PageViewContext();            
            return pvc;

But I got everything to work now. 

Thanks for your help. yes

Regards / Aki
