Hello, I created a trigger so students can click on the button and directly send an email to their instructor. Is there a way to automatically add in the body of the email on which slide the student is ?
360 has a Menu.SlideTitle variable that you can use, but I don't think it will work with the built-in mail to: trigger. You may have to use javascript.
I had to create a variable, then a trigger to Adjust my variable to the Menu.SlideTitle. That has to happen for each slide individually. I would build it to happen when they click the email button, right before the execute mailto trigger. It and the Project.SlideTitle seem to be the only ones available.
Then in the js, I could access my variable (but not Menu.SlideTitle) and use it in the body of my mailto.
I am not sure if it will work if you don't have a menu enabled in the player, and of course, you need unique slide names for it to be useful.
