For this you need to use a custrom button field (Text type) .Please write a href over this formula field to redirect it to some other VF page and there onload you can implement your logic.

Hi Nikhil,

 

There are two way to create custom button on case detail page for Email:

 

1. First way : Create 'Email Me' Custom button & Link it with a VF Page that open a popup Page for email , this is best way.

 

2. Second way : some configuration But have many options :)

a) Create a hierarchy Custom setting like Name as "Configuration Custom setting" and add New Field Like Name as "Support Contact Id[Text(18)]".

b) Create New Conact Like Name as "Support Contact" and put Email address as "support@gmail.com" and also fill your required field values.

c). Copy the Contact Id from Url

d). Go to  "Configuration Custom setting" -> Click on Manage Link -> Click on New button above "Default Organization Level Value" Section -> Paste the contact Id in "Support Contact Id[" Field.

e.) Now Create 'Email Me' Custom button for detail Page and put this Java Script :

 

window.open("/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p3_lkid={!Case.Id}&retURL={!Case.Id}&p2_lkid={!$Setup.Configuration_Custom_setting__c.Support_Contact_Id__c}&p6=Case Email to Support")

 

If any issues please let me know?
