Web GL - Send Email

Unity Engine
1

Hey all, I’m currently trying to convert an existing app (IOS & Android) over to Web GL however the app is using a System.Net.Mail method to send emails to users which as far as I understand isn’t supported for Web GL builds.

Could anyone recommend another course of action to take with this as I’m feeling pretty lost and am not sure what to try next! I’m not looking for complete solutions just advice about what to try next.

So far I have briefly looked into some sort of .PHP alternative but I honestly have no idea what I’m doing with that (& web related content in general), so didn’t want to pursue it too far yet.

Cheers

One way could be to just open “mailto:” link (which would then open default email program…)

Php would be easy too, look for php email scripts, theres plenty (although not sure what you want to email, just small text messages? Is it ok to send them as plaintext?)

Hmm… Maybe investigate ways to send emails via javascript, then use Application.ExternalCall()?

Your best bet is to make a REST API call to some service such as Mandrill that supports it.

I would avoid making any mailto: or Application.ExternalCall() as mentioned above as these are unreliable.
