Send Email With TargerObjectId as Person Account

Hi,

I am trying to send Email via Messaging.MassEmailMessage by  setting TargetObjectIds method.  Even though it specifies TargetObjectIds to be a list of IDs of the contacts, leads, or users to which the email will be sent.

 

I want to ensure whether PersonAccountId can be set to TargetObjectIds to send mass email.

Need ability to assign Person-Account Id in the TargetObjectId field of a Single

Hi Nirmal, 

 

Also once try if using the What Id of the Record works as below. 

 

msg.setTargetObjectId(con.Id);

 

msg.setWhatId('Your Record Id if applicable');

Use this (PersonContactId instead of id) for PersonAccounts:
  
Account recipient = [SELECT id,PersonContactId FROM Account where id=<acc id>];
email.setTargetObjectId(recipient.PersonContactId);
