Hi Everyone,

I am looking into the best way of doing the following:

I have a model called Kase, and when a user creates a new case then are taken to the show view as you would expect.

I am trying to work out what the best way of sending an automated email between those two events is. I would need to include in the email the content of a couple of the fields, ideally I am looking for a way of just typing out the email and adding the same snippets that are in the show view for each of the fields I need.

I am using the Base App from Github so the email sending is already setup for the user authentication and registration, but I'm not sure where to begin.

The reason I want to send the email is to create a new Case in our Highrise account, and I don't have a clue how to use the API. So I think the email sending is the easier way.

Thanks,

Danny
