Links in user emails..

[tthdoc]

Is it possible to reference ID's or other variables in a user email.  For instance, I would like to send an email to all users and have them look at their individual page directly, without going though the main site, etc.  For instance, here is the URL for an individual page:

http://familytreename.com/individual.php?pid=I1234&ged=FAMILY.GED

Can you reference this in the email sent so that it can be for each person, in other words have it grab the PID for the person the email is going to, something like this:

http://familytreename.com/individual.php?pid=(some variable to get ID #)&ged=FAMILY.GED

Hope that made sense.
(and yes, I realize that with privacy they will not see it until they login, but when they login at least they will be on the individual page, not the main page)

Thanks,
Doc

Oh, just FYI, when someone registers, I put their individual page id in the box GEDCOM INDI record ID on the user account page.  So I would want to reference the GEDCOM INDI record ID variable.

Thanks again

Answer is simple: Nope. The email system does not handle system variables as a word-like merge document.

FYI, you can set PGV to show a person's "MyGEDView Portal" when they log in, which includes by default a "Welcome" block with a link to that person's own individual page.

This setting is found at GEDCOM Configuration -> Access and Privacy -> Page to show after Login

This is one click more than you want, but it's what PGV provides.  In your email you can just send everyone a link to your welcome page with instructions.
