         String to, String cc, String subject, String body, 
         String attachmentTemplateIdList, String attachmentIdList);

</syntaxhighlight>

with Bcc:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

Functions.sendEmail(String objectName, String recordId,

         String to, String cc, String bcc, String subject, String body, 
         String attachmentTemplateIdList, String attachmentIdList);

</syntaxhighlight>

with TenantContext:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

Functions.sendEmail(String objectName, String recordId,

         String to, String cc, String subject, String body, 
         String attachmentTemplateIdList, String attachmentIdList, 
         TenantContext context);

</syntaxhighlight>

Parameters

objectName

The name of the object the email relates to, or the objectId. This field is required, and must be a non-empty string.

recordId

The identifier of the record the message relates to. This field can be an empty string ("").

to

A list of comma-separated email addresses

cc

A list of comma separated email addresses to copy the message to. (Recipients see addresses in this list.)

bcc

Optional. List of comma separated email addresses for "blind copies" (Recipients do not see addresses in this list.)

subject

A descriptive text string

body

The contents of the email message (static text).

attachmentTemplateIdList

A list of comma-separated Document Template identifiers. The template variables are evaluated at run time, their values are substituted, and the resulting documents are then sent as attachments.

Note:
Do not choose a template based on a JSP page for use as an attachment.

attachmentIdList

A list of comma-separated document identifiers to send as attachments

context

An optional TenantContext Object used to send an email using a user-alias in another tenancy.

Considerations

• You can use this method to send attachments with data from the record using one or more Document Templates.

• In order for the template variables to be populated, the document template ID passed to the API must be defined in the object that is specified in the first parameter - objectID

• Successful execution of the call adds an entry in the 'Activity History' section of the record that is specified in the second parameter - recordID.

• The values specified in the 'to' and 'cc' fields can be retrieved using requestParams object.

• Direct email addresses can also be passed as a string in the API parameters.

• In order to send email to multiple addresses with multiple attachments specify the various values in a comma-separated string.

Return

Result object
