Add Email Action to a Page

Posted on by T_Mauser 397 User Group Leader

Hello,

I want to add an Email-Action to the Blanket Order Page.

I know how to add such actions, thats not the problem but what is the right logic for the "onAction" trigger to run the Email Dialog

set the subject

set the attachment (report)

set the mail text (report)

Does anyone have some refernces or docs about that?

Blanket Order Page Ext.

        addbefore(AttachAsPDF)
        {
            action(Email)
            {
                ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;
                Caption = 'Senden per Email';
                Ellipsis = true;
                Image = Email;
                Promoted = true;
                PromotedCategory = Category6;
                PromotedIsBig = true;
                ToolTip = 'Prepare to mail the document. The Send Email window opens prefilled with the customer''s email address so you can add or edit information.';

                trigger OnAction()
                var
                    SalesHeader: Record "Sales Header";
                begin
                    SalesHeader := Rec;
                end;

    Hello yzhums , it's working thank you.

    in the end the solution with the word template is better, because of it's flexibility which was needed in that case.

    Greetings,

    Hi, is it possible to give Word Template a try?

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365-release-plan/2021wave2/smb/dynamics365-business-central/send-mail-entities-using-word-templates-as-body-or-attachment

    https://yzhums.com/19955/

    You can use Word Template to create Email Body, and then use Codeunit "Email Message" to add attachments.

    Hope this can give you some hints.

    Thanks.

    I'm using BC in the cloud ->20.3.42673.42776

    yzhums

    Hmm... I would like to generate the email body and the attachment from a report.

    Do you know if it's possible with DocumentSendingProfile.TrySendToEMail() ? I didn't get it running...

    Which BC version is it?

    Since, [Obsolete('Email dialog has been removed, event no longer relevant.', '20.0')

    You could use  O365SalesEmailDialog: Page "O365 Sales Email Dialog";

    Example:

      TempEmailItem.Subject := EmailSubject;
        TempEmailItem.SetBodyText(EmailBody);
        TempEmailItem."Send to" := EmailAddress;
        TempEmailItem.AddCcBcc();
        TempEmailItem.AttachIncomingDocuments(DocumentNo);
        TempEmailItem.Insert(true);
        Commit();

        O365SalesEmailDialog.SetValues(DocumentRecordVariant, TempEmailItem);
        if DocumentType = DocumentType::Quote then
            O365SalesEmailDialog.SetNameEstimate
        else
            O365SalesEmailDialog.SetNameInvoice;
        HasBeenSent := O365SalesEmailDialog.RunModal = ACTION::OK;

        O365SalesEmailDialog.GetRecord(TempEmailItem);

    Edit:

        var
            DocumentPrint: Codeunit "Document-Print";
            SalesHeader: Record "Sales Header";
        begin
            DocumentPrint.EmailSalesHeader(SalesHeader);
    How do you mean its not allowed?

    Like inside the Sales Quote page...

    But it is not allowed to use DocPrint.EmailSalesHeader(Rec); WHY not?
