How to get user email from plugin ?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by vagargg

I have made a plugin that works whenever a task is created in CRM. I need to get the email address of the person who has created the task but I am unable to do so. I have also created a post Image but with that I'm only able to get the userid form the person who created. Can someone please help with this

    Entity objUser = Proxy.Retrieve("systemuser", userId, new ColumnSet("internalemailaddress", "systemuserid"));

                           if (objUser != null && objUser.Contains("internalemailaddress") && objUser["internalemailaddress"] != null)

                           {

                               string Useremail = (string)objUser["internalemailaddress"];

                               Console.WriteLine(Useremail);

                           }

    public class Example : IPlugin

    {

    public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)

    {

    IPluginExecutionContext pluginExecutionContext = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

    IOrganizationServiceFactory factory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));

    IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(pluginExecutionContext.UserId);

    Entity task = pluginExecutionContext.InputParameters["Target"] as Entity;

    Guid userId = pluginExecutionContext.UserId;

    Entity user = service.Retrieve("systemuser", userId, new ColumnSet(new String[] { "internalemailaddress" }));

    Do you need to install some other dependencies for this to work. I can't find a function named service

    Hi,

    You will have to fetch user details from systemuser table by passing userid. In Create plugin, there is no need to get postimage as you will automatically get the ownerid of the record in context (which is userid). You can use service.retrieve method on systemuser table to get the email address of the user. 
     
    Entity objUser = service.Retrieve("systemuserid", userGuid, new ColumnSet("primaryemailaddress","systemuserid"));
    if (objUser != null && objUser.Contains("primaryemailaddress") && objUser["primaryemailaddress"] != null)
                {
                    string Useremail = (string)objUser["primaryemailaddress"];
                }

    You have to retrieve email id from systemuser entity with help of ownerid of task.

    Entity user = service.Retrieve("systemuser", userId, new ColumnSet(new String[] { "internalemailaddress" }));

    This will get the primary email address of the user.
