Problem in selecting the 'To' recipient dynamically using a trigger.

Hi, 

 

We have a custom object linked to a contact. I have a trigger which has to send out an Email to the associated contact on the status change of the custom object.

 

But I am unable to configure the trigger to dynamically identify the contact's email address and send the Email.

 

What can be done? I am quiet new to APEX and hence cant figure this out.

 

I have tried to use the followign functions, but I'm not getting the expected result.

 

Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();        

email.setToAddresses( toAddresses );         

String[] toAddresses = new String[] {le.CustomObject__r.Contact__r.Email};

You have to write a soql to retrive the to address from your custom object.

 

below is the sample code.

 

String[] toAddresses = new String[]{[select email fromUserwhere id = :UserInfo.getUserId()].email};
