function deliver(toAddress, toName, subject, messageText)

"test@example.com" |
Email address of the recipient |
toName |

Display name of the recipient |
subject |
"Test Notification" |
Subject of the email |
messageText |
See below | HTML text of the email |
The message text is an HTML fragment using a restricted subset of HTML. The HTML must be well formed or an exception will be thrown.
A plain text version of the email will automatically be generated from the HTML message text.
Message text HTML subset
Your HTML message should not include any top level containers such as <html>
or <body>
, as these are part of the email template.
The following HTML is supported in message text:
Block elements for text
<p>
<h1>
<h2>
<blockquote>
<p class="description">
(indented, no margin above)
Block elements
Enclose block elements for text in these elements.
<div class="box">
<div class="footer">
Unclosed HTML tags
<hr>
<br>
<img>
(ignore in plain text version)
Links
To render correctly in the plain text version, links must use one of the constructions below:
<p class="button"><a href="[url]"> ... </a></p>
(call to action button)<p class="link0"> ... <a href="[url]"> ... </a> ... </p>
(link)<p class="link1"> ... <a href="[url]"> ... </a> ... </p>
(indented link)<p class="action"> ... <a href="[url]"> ... </a> ... </p>
(action link, only the link is output in the plain text version)
Other links will be omitted from the plain text output.
