Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must have an authenticated connection to the server with a client that implements the IOrganizationService interface instance.

/// <summary>
/// Sends an email from a template
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">Authenticated client implementing the IOrganizationService interface</param>
/// <param name="contactId">The id of a contact record which has a valid email address.</param>
/// <exception cref="ArgumentException"></exception>
static void SendEmailFromTemplateRequestSample(IOrganizationService service, Guid contactId)
{
    Guid _templateId;
    var whoAmIResponse = (WhoAmIResponse)service.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());

    // Create the 'From:' activity party for the email
    var fromParty = new Entity("activityparty")
    {
        Attributes =
        {
            { "partyid", new EntityReference("systemuser", whoAmIResponse.UserId)}
        }
    };

    // Create the 'To:' activity party for the email
    var toParty = new Entity("activityparty")
    {
        Attributes =
        {
            { "partyid", new EntityReference("contact", contactId)}
        }
    };

    var email = new Entity("email")
    {
        Attributes = {
            { "to", new Entity[] { toParty } },
            { "from", new Entity[] { fromParty } },
            { "subject", "SDK Sample email" },
            { "description","SDK Sample for SendEmailFromTemplate Message." },
            { "directioncode", true }
        }
    };


    //Create a query expression to get one of Email Template of type "contact"

    QueryExpression queryBuildInTemplates = new QueryExpression
    {
        EntityName = "template",
        ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("templateid", "templatetypecode"),
        Criteria = new FilterExpression()
    };
    queryBuildInTemplates.Criteria.AddCondition("templatetypecode",
        ConditionOperator.Equal, "contact");
    EntityCollection templateEntityCollection = service.RetrieveMultiple(queryBuildInTemplates);

    if (templateEntityCollection.Entities.Count > 0)
    {
        _templateId = (Guid)templateEntityCollection.Entities[0].Attributes["templateid"];
    }
    else
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Standard Email Templates are missing");
    }

    // Create the request
    var request = new SendEmailFromTemplateRequest
    {
        Target = email,

        // Use a built-in Email Template of type "contact".
        TemplateId = _templateId,

        // The regarding Id is required, and must be of the same type as the Email Template.
        RegardingId = contactId,
        RegardingType = "contact"
    };

    var response = (SendEmailFromTemplateResponse)service.Execute(request);


    // Verify that the e-mail has been created
    if (!response.Id.Equals(Guid.Empty))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Successfully sent an e-mail message using the template.");
    }
}
