Send Email in CRM using a Template (SendEmailFromTemplateRequest)

Hi using the following code we can send an email programmatically that uses the email-template withing CRM

Suppose you have created a web application and have a button named btnSendEmail over there.

Put the following code in it’s event handler

protected void btnSendEmail_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();

token.AuthenticationType = 0; // AD ( On-Premise)

token.OrganizationName = “nameofyourorganization”;

CrmService myService = new CrmService();

myService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

myService.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;

// Create an instance of email

email myEmail = new email();

//set the owner of the mail

myEmail.ownerid = new Owner();

myEmail.ownerid.type = EntityName.systemuser.ToString();

myEmail.ownerid.Value = new Guid(“26063267-7B85-DD11-B2E0-00164145E126”);

// specify the from part of the email

activityparty from = new activityparty();

from.partyid = new Lookup();

from.partyid.type = EntityName.systemuser.ToString();

// guid of the system user who is sending the mail

from.partyid.Value = new Guid(“24543267-7B85-DD11-B2E0-00164145E126”);

myEmail.from = new activityparty[] { from };

// specify the to part of the email

activityparty to = new activityparty();

to.partyid = new Lookup();

to.partyid.type = EntityName.systemuser.ToString();

to.partyid.Value = new Guid(“26063267-7B85-DD11-B2E0-00164145E126”);

myEmail.to = new activityparty[] { to };

TargetSendFromTemplateEmail myTargetSendFromTemplateEmail = new TargetSendFromTemplateEmail();

myTargetSendFromTemplateEmail.Email = myEmail;

SendEmailFromTemplateRequest mySendEmailFromTmpRequest = new SendEmailFromTemplateRequest();

// Specify entity instance id for RegardingID

mySendEmailFromTmpRequest.RegardingId = new Guid(“132C847E-028A-DD11-8E7E-00164145E126”);

// Specify the type of entity

mySendEmailFromTmpRequest.RegardingType = EntityName.opportunity.ToString();

// Specify the email instance to be sent

mySendEmailFromTmpRequest.Target = myTargetSendFromTemplateEmail;

// Specify the template to be used ( Either a global or created specfially for that entity)

mySendEmailFromTmpRequest.TemplateId = new Guid(“6963788F-048A-DD11-8E7E-00164145E126”);

SendEmailFromTemplateResponse mySendEmailFromTmpResponse =(SendEmailFromTemplateResponse)                                  myService.Execute(mySendEmailFromTmpRequest);

}

Bye….
