Send Email to list of emails.

Posted on by Community Member

I am creating a C# plugin, and I am having some issues sending an email to a list of emails.

From a workflow activity, I returned a list of emails in a string, but it looks like the OOB Send Email activity requires a lookup for the To/CC/BCC fields.

Is there a way I can accomplish this?

I have tried looking at this sample from Microsoft, but I cannot for the life of me find where the Email class is defined: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh210217.aspx

Thanks,

RE: Send Email to list of emails.

public void SendEmailToUnresolvedRecipient(IOrganizationService crmService, string recipientEmailAddress, Guid senderUserId, string prmSubject, string prmMessageBody) { // Creating Email 'to' recipient activity party entity object Entity emailToReciepent = new Entity("activityparty"); // Creating Email 'from' recipient activity party entity object Entity emailFromReciepent = new Entity("activityparty"); // Assigning receiver email address to activity party addressused attribute emailToReciepent["addressused"] = recipientEmailAddress; // Setting from user account emailFromReciepent["partyid"] = new EntityReference("systemuser", senderUserId); // Creating Email entity object Entity emailEntity = new Entity("email"); // Setting email entity 'to' attribute value emailEntity["to"] = new Entity[] { emailToReciepent }; // Setting email entity 'from' attribute value emailEntity["from"] = new Entity[] { emailFromReciepent }; // Setting email subject and description emailEntity["subject"] = prmSubject; emailEntity["description"] = prmMessageBody; // Creating email record Guid emailId = crmService.Create(emailEntity); // Creating SendEmailRequest object for sending email SendEmailRequest sendEmailreq = new SendEmailRequest { EmailId = emailId, TrackingToken = "", IssueSend = true }; SendEmailResponse sendEmailresp = (SendEmailResponse)crmService.Execute(sendEmailreq); }

This should work..

RE: Send Email to list of emails.

Thank you so much for your help!

The problem was that the to/from/cc/bcc list required an Entity of type activityparty. The late-bound example made this clear to me.

RE: Send Email to list of emails.

Hi,

you need to generate those early-bound classes first:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg327844.aspx

If you wanted to use late-bound, there is an example here:

mubashersharif.blogspot.ca/.../send-email-using-late-binding-crm-2011.html

As for the lookup vs plain text address, you can configure what's allowed if you go to Settings->Administration->System Settings->Email->"Allow messages with unresolved email recipients to be sent"

Once you've configured that option, you can use this as an example:
