Copy email from one entity to another

Hi,

I'm writing a plugin (C#) to copy notes and emails from leads to opportunities. The notes part workd but I can't find any way to copy the emails from the lead to the opportunity.

- When I try to fetch the email and then create a new one, I get a duplicate record-error.

- if I try to copy the activitypointer (for that email) then I get "Create' method does not support entities of type 'activitypointer'"

Can anyone tell me how I can copy the emails of a lead to an opportunity? Or link the same email to both entities would also be ok.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Erik

Hi Erik,

Is it CRM Online? Are you tring to create emails on lead qualify to opportunity? If yes then you dont need a plugin as this is an out of box functionality.

Hope this helps.

RE: Copy email from one entity to another

Hi,

How do you copy the email? You need to create Activity Parties and assign the existing one's values.For Instance;

Entity email = new Entity("email");
Entity fromParty = new Entity("activityparty");
Entity toParty = new Entity("activityparty");

toParty["partyid"] = new EntityReference(entityname, entityid); [EntityReference of existing email's "to"]
fromParty["partyid"] = new EntityReference("systemuser", userid); [EntityReference of existing email's "from"]
email["from"] = new Entity[] { fromParty };
email["to"] = new Entity[] { toParty };

email["subject"] = [existing email's "subject"]
email["description"] = [existing email's "description"]
email["regardingobjectid"] = new EntityReference("opportunity", opportunityId); [EntityReference of opportunity]

Regards,
