Adding Convert Email To Task in Email Ribbon MS CRM 2011

Today I saw one thread in CRM Development form to create a button in email ribbon to task from current email activity. So thought to create the same. In this post I am going to create a button in email ribbon to create task from email. you can use below code for the same

<RibbonDiffXml>

        <CustomActions>

          <CustomAction Id=”EmailToTask” Location=”Mscrm.Form.email.MainTab.Convert.Controls._children” Sequence=”40″>

            <CommandUIDefinition>

              <Button Id=”Mscrm.Form.email.Convert.ToTask” Sequence=”50″ Command=”Mscrm.Form.email.TaskCommand” LabelText=”EmailToTask” Image16by16=”/_imgs/ribbon/Converttotask_16.png” Image32by32=”/_imgs/ribbon/Converttotask_32.png” TemplateAlias=”o2″ ToolTipDescription=”Convert Email To Task” />

            </CommandUIDefinition>

          </CustomAction>

        </CustomActions>

        <Templates>

          <RibbonTemplates Id=”Mscrm.Templates”></RibbonTemplates>

        </Templates>

        <CommandDefinitions>

          <CommandDefinition Id=”Mscrm.Form.email.TaskCommand”>

            <EnableRules />

            <DisplayRules />

            <Actions>

               <JavaScriptFunction FunctionName =”ConverToTask” Library =”$webresource:new_ConvertToTask.js”></JavaScriptFunction>

            </Actions>

          </CommandDefinition>

        </CommandDefinitions>

        <RuleDefinitions>

          <TabDisplayRules />

          <DisplayRules />

          <EnableRules />

        </RuleDefinitions>

        <LocLabels />

      </RibbonDiffXml>

** you need to create Converttotask_16.png,Converttotask_32.png and need to copy under “_imgs/ribbon” folder in your crmweb directory.

Enjoy !!
