"Email to Salesforce" address accessible via API?
I would like to include the parameter
&bcc=[user's Email to Salesforce address]
in a custom URL button (or Javascript for that matter). I find no documentation for a user field representing the user's Email to Salesforce address, leading me to suspect it is not accessible via the API or for use as a merge field like this.
Has anyone succeeded in incorporating the Email to Salesforce address into a custom button or a Visualforce page?
Instead of &bcc=user@email.com
try &p5={!User.Email}
p5 is the id of the BCC field on the page source code. You get this by generating an empty email and display the Browser's page source code. Search for "BCC" (Ctrl+F) and you find some tag attributes. Among them there is one called <textarea ...id="p5" ...>
Thanks sales@mucca.de for your reply, but perhaps I should have made my question clearer. Learning that bcc: is the p5 parameter is helpful, but what I am really after is the merge field that represents the user's "Email to Salesforce" address.
This is not User.Email, is is a long address (sample: emailtosalesforce@0235ffdsdfsad98dvfj4i549540njh3.in.salesforce.com). BCC'ing this address causes an email sent from a system other than SFDC to be saved as a task in SFDC. I am tryiing to find out if p5 can be set to a user's "email to Salesforce" address programmatically.
I'm looking for the exact same thing. Did you ever find any resolution to this?
Still looking for a solution on this. Did you ever figure it out?
@The_London_Scott,
I think I found a really solid lead!

Lots of comments to read through, but towards the bottom, Paul_Brinker posts where the value actually lives. EmailServicesAddress table > EmailDomainName field. Here are some more details on that object: https://www.salesforce.com/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_emailservicesaddress.htm.
Something else I read that I'll have to test is that a user's Email To Salesforce isn't created until they initiate it.
Hope this helps!
