SendEmail

Sends an email.

Syntax

<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

subject

A descriptive text string

body

The contents of the email message (static text).

attachmentTemplateIdList

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

attachmentIdList

A list of comma-separated document identifiers in your documents folder 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 the template defined in the print template.

• In order for the template variables to be populated, the print 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
