Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm having a think about this one.<br>
<br>
The idea of the prefix is pretty simple, basically I would give you
the "[ZendTo]" string (as an initial default value) in a "Subject"
box in the new drop-off form.<br>
<br>
Whatever you end up putting in there gets used instead of [ZendTo]
at the start of the email subject lines.<br>
<br>
However......<br>
<br>
If you request a drop-off, you get to supply the whole Subject line
for the email to the person you want to send you their files.<br>
Ideally, that same Subject line would be used in all notifications
etc about that drop-off.<br>
But they have entered the *whole* Subject line, not just the prefix
to it.<br>
If I use their whole Subject line as a prefix, it's going to look
weird.<br>
<br>
So what do I do for the Subject prefix, when it was created as a
result of a request which had the entire Subject line supplied?<br>
I clearly can't ask the person sending the request to supply 2
Subject entries — both the current whole Subject line *and* the
prefix to use — as that would confuse the hell out of them.<br>
<br>
Any ideas please?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

Hi Jules,

</div>
<div>yes it would be enough to allow 20 editable characters.<br>

While no one has asked for this yet, I do see it’s
usefulness.
<div>I do use custom strings in email subjects for some

You effectively just want to allow senders to
customise the "[ZENDTO]" subject line tag in each
drop-off, correct?<br>
<br>
Does anyone else need to do this too?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

Jules, hi all. <br>
<br>
I have a strange request from our ZendTo users. They
asked if it would be possible to add a custom field
when sending a DropOff <br>
that results in a custom text in all ZendTo email
concerning this specific DropOff. <br>
<br>
Example current: <br>
<br>
[ZENDTO] One of the recipients has picked up your
drop-off! <br>
<br>
Example requested: <br>
<br>
[ZENDTO] CUSTOM_STRING One of the recipients has
picked up your drop-off! <br>
<br>
I asked a little bit about the purpose of their
request and they told me that project teams sort
their email by subject and <br>
consequently keep the project name (CUSTOM_STRING)
in every subject of their emails concerning that
specific project. <br>
So later they could sort by project name
(CUSTOM_STRING) within Outlook to be able to verify
when they sent a specific DropOff. <br>
<br>
Question: <br>
Is it possible to implement such a feature? <br>
<br>
I know that I could handcraft it but I don't want to
make big changes to the source and always have to
keep track of them when upgrading. <br>
<br>
I am currently not on the latest version of ZendTo,
so if such a feature is maybe already present in the
latest version, feel free <br>
to tell me. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance. <br>
<br>
Peter <br>
