dan.granger.ddw Update a field and send an email via 1 button
I have a need to send an email from a custom object to an associated contact. I would also like to update the status on the custom object to show that the email is sent and allow a workflow to execute against it.
I located the code to create the email but I would like to update the status field in one click.
I found the following javascript code to update the field (I don't know JS). I tried to update the code to reflect it the way I thought it would work. But I get an error.
{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/26.0/connection.js")}
var Library = new sforce.SObject("Color_Library__c");
Library.id = {!Color_Library__c.Id}
Library.Status__c = 'Tested';
sforce.connection.update([Library]);
The send email code is:
location.replace('/email/author/emailauthor.jsp?retURL=/{!Color_Library__c.Id}&p3_lkid={!Color_Library__c.Id}&rtype=003&p2_lkid={!Color_Library__c.ContactId__c}&template_id=00XK0000000IM3s&p5=');
Is there a way to combine the code into one Javascript code and allow one button?
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, we can override the Standard button and upon cliking that button your Custom Logic can be executed.
See the links below for more information on how to do the same,
