eMill provides a server-side scripting environment to create interactive email content. This environment associates the Windows Scripting Host (VBScript engine) with a server-side scripting language specialized for email: the Active Messaging Script (or AMS).
AMS implements built-in classes that users will find very similar to those of a popular scripting language used in the web context: Microsoft® Active Server Pages (or ASP).
AMS is the language used for eMill's 'global script' file (milset.vbs) that accesses the data and performs function calls triggered by render or mailer events. AMS-enabled HTML files used to personalize content can also include client-side scripts as well as calls to COM components that perform a variety of tasks, such as connecting to a database or processing business logic. AMS can also be included into TXT files if the output content is just text.
Please check the updates from our website from time to time to benefit from the latest additions and improvements to this innovative scripting language and feel free to add your two cents. This language grows on feedback.
