TL;DR: Click a button in a typical marketing email. It always opens a web page. Is there any way to have the button click send a message to a (web) server without having a web page open?
Details: Send an email with a button in it. The recipient clicks the button to confirm an agreement. The 4D Server then sends a followup email indicating the confirmation is received. The email is in HTML format. The button has an href that points back to the 4D web server. 4D server sends the confirmation received email. That's all working nicely. Our href looks like this: http://10.0.0.8:8080/confirm?539D36962A0A45478F0538EE894A4D5358CBB76FAED59F44B32DEEA97B22F3B4 " Because we are doing a simple web call, the user's default browser opens up with a web page. This is what we are trying to avoid. As far as I know, stuffing javascript into an html email is a big no-no. (We don't know what mail client the recipient will use.) Bonus if you read this far - some cool HTML email tools! https://mjml.io markup language to generate compatible html mail https://litmus.com test html in up to 70 mail clients Thanks for any ideas!
