RiverChaser Sending Email Using MassEmailMessage
I am having trouble sending email using MassEmailMessage. At this point I am only sending a single email to one contact, but MassEmailMessage seems to be the only way to programmatically send an email using an existing template.
I'm using the code below in an s-control attached to a button on the Contact form, and everything seems to run fine. The alert() pops up a message that says {success:'true',}, and the resulting page says Email sent! as shown in the code. If I look at Setup | Monitoring | Mass Email Monitoring, the send is shown there as successful. But the email never arrives. (For testing, I'm sending it to myself. No, it's not in my spam filter.)
I am able to use SingleEmailMessage with no problem.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any pointers!

Dear All,
I have an email template which is given below:
Evaluation Request from {!Lead.LastName} {!Lead.FirstName} for {!Lead.SupportProduct__c}, is pending and requires manual approval. <br/>
Click <a href="{!ApprovalRequest.Internal_URL}">here</a> to approve or reject this request.<br/><br/>
Thanks.
Whenever I use this template through "Approval Processes" it works fine. But I have different situation in which I cannot use "Approval Processes". For example I need that when a Lead create then email should be generate for Lead Approval and send to those receptionist that are belongs to selected region. If a lead belongs to ASIA then email should be send on asia@abc.com or if region is USA then it should be for usa@abc.com I successfully completd this task with static or just text base template. But whenever I use Customise template its not filling merge values. Following is TRIGER code:
trigger TestEmail on Lead (after insert)
{
MailerUtils.sendMail(Trigger.new[0].Region__c, String.valueOf(Trigger.new[0].Id), Trigger.new [0].IsEmbargoe__c);
}
Now, following is MailerUtils class having sendMail method
public class MailerUtils
{
public static void sendMail(string location, string leadId, Boolean IsEmbargoe)
{
string message;
string temp = 'ApproveLeadTemplate';
String[] toAddresses;
List<Id> idsList = getEmailAddresses(location);
if(IsEmbargoe == False)
{
temp = 'ApproveEmbargoeTemplate';
}
EmailTemplate e = [select Id,Name,Subject,body from EmailTemplate where name like :temp+'%'];
if(e != null || idsList==null)
{
Messaging.MassEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.MassEmailMessage();
mail.saveAsActivity = false;
mail.setTargetObjectIds(idsList);
mail.setTemplateId(e.Id);
mail.setUseSignature(false);
mail.setSaveAsActivity(false);
// Send the email
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.MassEmailMessage[] { mail });
}
else
{
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail1 = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
toAddresses = new String[] {'khan@abc.com'};
mail1.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
message = 'This email will recieve by you only if Template Not Found!!!';
mail1.setHtmlBody(message);
}
}
public static List<Id> getEmailAddresses(string groupName)
{
List<String> idList = new List<String>();
List<Id> mailToIds = new List<Id>();
Group g = [SELECT (select userOrGroupId from groupMembers) FROM group WHERE name = :groupName];
for (GroupMember gm : g.groupMembers) {
idList.add(gm.userOrGroupId);
}
User[] usr = [SELECT Id, email FROM user WHERE id IN :idList];
for(User u : usr) {
mailToIds.add(u.Id);
}
return mailToIds;
}
}
I have some public group having same name like ASIA, USA and Austrailia so that this help me to pull autmatic all user from selected group on the bases of Region.
But In all this I am having problem that the dynamic fields or u can say merge fields are not filling please help me in this context. Thanking in advance for you help.

When I copied the exact same code into a new s-control in the production instance, it worked great.
This is a drag though, since I sure would like to test stuff like this in a safe environment. Oh well.

Thanks, but I don't see any information in the Sending Mass Emails about configuring my organization for using mass emails. The help topic describes how to send them, but not configure it?
But since I already CAN send mass emails from my organization, is there something I have to do in the sandbaox to enable it?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Don
