Hi Guys,
Did you ever tried to send HTML formatted colour coded email using PowerShell ? I was trying to do it but didn’t get any good and useful information on it, but i finally manage to get it done.
So lets start:
For example i am sending a test email from my official account to my GMAIL account.
the script will look like this:
############## Script start Here ##########
# $smtp variable contain the name/ip of your email server ##
# $to contain the email id whom you want to send email ###
# $from contain email of sender ###
# $Subject contain subject of the email.
# In Body we are defining some HTML coding in to our email message body
# <b> means BOLD
#<br> means Break go to next Line
#<a href> provide a link to the text
# <font color=red> , give the color to the font
$smtp = "Exchange-Server"
$to = "Aman Dhally <amandhally@gmail.com>"
$from = "Aman Singh <aman.dhally@analysysmason.com>"
$subject = "This is a Test of HTML Email"
$body = "Dear <b><font color=red>$to</b></font> <br>"
$body += "We are testing <b>HTML</b> email <br>"
$body += "Click <a href=http://www.google.com>here</a> to open google <br>"
#### Now send the email using \> Send-MailMessage
send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $smtp -To $to -From $from -Subject $subject -Body $body -BodyAsHtml -Priority high
########### End of Script################
Note: Make sure you use –BodyasHtml parameter in Send-MailMessage otherwise it send as plain text format.
Now lets see how this email will look like :)
Cool!!! it look exactly how we have define it in our Script :)
you can find more HTML coded which you can use in script from here http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
take care
