I wonder if a “misuse” of KNIME to do something similar like a mail merge in “Office applications”.
The background is this.
I have a standard txt file which contains some placeholders. These placeholders should be filled by data that is created dynamically in a table.
The part that made me consider KNIME here is automation part. I mainly use Google Docs (no need to connect to Google Docs though) and that does not come with a standard mail merge functionality (like MS Office for example).
I would like to rather send an email or (alternatively) create txt files for each message, I want to send.
One important requirement is that the formatting should stay intact, whereas formatting mainly refers to line breaks and paragraphs (I do not have any other type of formatting).
Is something like this possible with KNIME (and is this the right place to post the question)?
To edit your email text, while keeping the formatting, you need to export the email as HTML file, read that with KNIME as string column and manipulate as desired.
