Execute SendEmailFromTemplate Web API Action from JS

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ASTEA 5

Hi,

I´m solving the problem with sending e-mails using JS and Web API - SendEmailFromTemplate. I tried to generate code with CRMRESTBuilder and edited it based on:

Unfortunately, the following code returns HTTP 400 and the "Invalid Argument" error message:

var parameters = {
 TemplateId: {
 guid: 'A49CD460-17A2-E911-A9A0-000D3AB5CCB7'
 },
 Regarding: {
 contactid: "9602CEB2-55F7-E711-A954-000D3A34A0AA",
 "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact"
 },
 Target: { 
 "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.email",
 email_activity_parties: [{
 "partyid_contact@odata.bind": "/contacts(9602CEB2-55F7-E711-A954-000D3A34A0AA)",
 participationtypemask: 2 //To
 }]
 }
};

var sendEmailFromTemplateRequest = {
 TemplateId: parameters.TemplateId,
 Regarding: parameters.Regarding,
 Target: parameters.Target,

 getMetadata: function() {
 return {
 boundParameter: null,
 parameterTypes: {
 "TemplateId": {
 "typeName": "Edm.Guid",
 "structuralProperty": 1
 },
 "Regarding": {
 "typeName": "mscrm.crmbaseentity",
 "structuralProperty": 5
 },
 "Target": {
 "typeName": "mscrm.crmbaseentity",
 "structuralProperty": 5
 }
 },
 operationType: 0,
 operationName: "SendEmailFromTemplate"
 };
 }
};

Xrm.WebApi.online.execute(sendEmailFromTemplateRequest).then(
 function success(result) {
 if (result.ok) {
 var results = JSON.parse(result.responseText);
 }
 },
 function(error) {
 Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
 }
);

Can you please advise me how to call Web API action correctly?

Our enviroment is in Version 1710 (9.1.0.6227) online and we have new UUI turned on.

Thanks,

Albert

    Hello,

    Please see below example of what the JSON should look like for the Api and the response you should see when called.

    {
    "TemplateId": "DBC5E9AF-AA33-EA11-A813-000D3A24C29D",
    "Regarding": {
        "contactid": "b8fe2ee9-9f33-ea11-a813-000d3a24c29d",
        "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact"
        
    },

    "Target": {
        "subject": "",
        "description": "",
        "regardingobjectid_contact@odata.bind": "/contacts(b8fe2ee9-9f33-ea11-a813-000d3a24c29d)",
        "email_activity_parties": [{
            "partyid_systemuser@odata.bind": "/systemusers(fba8443b-6365-4ade-ab81-abe6c47cba3b)",
            "participationtypemask": 1
        }, {
            "partyid_contact@odata.bind": "/contacts(b8fe2ee9-9f33-ea11-a813-000d3a24c29d)",
            "participationtypemask": 2
        }],
        "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.email"
    }
}

    Hi partner,

    Since you are using xrm.webapi.online, you could refer to this DOC for more details about parameters or formats.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/xrm-webapi/online/execute

    In this DOC, there is a sample about how to send request with parameters by xrm.webapi.online.

    BTW, you could also go to F12 developer tools -> Network tab and catah your request to find more details.

    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards,

    Leo
