Example

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.


// Create the 'From:' activity party for the email
ActivityParty fromParty = new ActivityParty
{
    PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, _userId)
};

// Create the 'To:' activity party for the email
ActivityParty toParty = new ActivityParty
{
    PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId)
};

Console.WriteLine("Created activity parties.");

// Create an e-mail message.
Email email = new Email
{
    To = new ActivityParty[] { toParty },
    From = new ActivityParty[] { fromParty },
    Subject = "SDK Sample e-mail",
    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 = _serviceProxy.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
SendEmailFromTemplateRequest emailUsingTemplateReq = 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.EntityLogicalName
};

SendEmailFromTemplateResponse emailUsingTemplateResp = (SendEmailFromTemplateResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(emailUsingTemplateReq);

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

Else
    Throw New ArgumentException("Standard Email Templates are missing")
End If

Dim emailUsingTemplateResp As SendEmailFromTemplateResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(emailUsingTemplateReq),  _
                SendEmailFromTemplateResponse)

' Verify that the e-mail has been created
_emailId = emailUsingTemplateResp.Id
If Not _emailId.Equals(Guid.Empty) Then
    Console.WriteLine("Successfully sent an e-mail message using the template.")
