Introduction

In this article, we will learn how to quickly create a button in HTML on a web page to generate and send an email with an invoice or any other type of content. We will use the Godot game engine to demonstrate this process, as it can be done with any programming language.

Creating a New Project

To begin, let's create a new project in Godot and name it "Invoice". This project will be used to generate an email that sends invoices to customers.

Adding an Email Button

Once the project is created, we can add a button to the main screen. This button will serve as the trigger to send the email. Customizing the button's appearance is optional at this stage.

Attaching a Script

To enable functionality for the button, we need to attach a script to the main object. This script will contain the code that sends the email when the button is pressed.

Writing the Send Email Function

Inside the attached script, we will create a function called "sendEmail" (or any preferred name). This function will contain the code to open the default email client and set the necessary parameters, such as the recipient's email address.

Adding the Subject and Body

In the sendEmail function, we will include the subject of the email, which can be a predefined value or dynamically generated, such as an invoice number. Additionally, we will specify the body of the email, which can be a simple text message or include HTML formatting.

Formatting the Body

To make the email body more visually appealing, we can format it using HTML tags. However, note that the formatting may not be rendered the same way in all email clients. If HTML formatting doesn't work as expected, an alternative is to use URL encoding to add line breaks and other special characters.

Adding a Link to the Invoice

For the purpose of this demonstration, let's include a link to the invoice in the email body. This link can be generated dynamically using the recipient's email address and a unique identifier, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the invoice.

Testing the Email Functionality

Now that we have set up the email functionality, let's test it by running the program. Upon clicking the send button, the default email client should open and display the email draft with the specified subject, body, and link to the invoice.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have learned how to create a button in HTML using the Godot game engine to generate and send emails with invoices or other content. The process involves attaching a script to the main object, writing a function to send the email, and customizing the subject and body of the email. By testing the functionality, we ensure that the email is successfully generated and sent to the recipient's email address.
