Catching email exception while getting the email

Hi Friends, 

 

I am sending an email based on template. I want to count the number of times emails are count successfully.

 

As you can see here:

 

 

try {
     Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {mail});
     Messaging.SendEmailResult[] mailResult = Messaging.sendEmail(new      
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail }); if ( !mailResult[0].isSuccess() )
{ EmailFailure = 'Email Failed: ' + mailResult[0].getErrors()[0].getMessage() +' \n \n'; } else { EmailCounter.Emails_sent_from_apex__c = EmailCounter.Emails_sent_from_apex__c +
Number_Of_Recipients ; update EmailCounter; } } catch(System.EmailException emlEx)
{ EmailFailure = 'we got here: ' + emlEx+' \n \n'; }

The surprising thing is that I do get the email as expected BUT an  Email exception is till thrown. As a result my counter is not updated, even though an email was sent. 

 

The Email exception received is:  System.EmailException: SendEmail failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INVALID_FIELD_WHEN_USING_TEMPLATE, When a template is specified the plain text body, html body, subject and charset may not be specified : []

 

Just to make is clear - I am NOT using :text body, html body, subject and charset.

 

Why do I get this exception ?

 

Please Help :)

This sounds like an issue you are having with one of the email params you are setting up... can you please post those?

 

I recently had to write a wizard to send emails again and mine looks like such:

Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

...

// Set our params 
mail.setTargetObjectId(lead.Id);
mail.setWhatId(customSobjectRecord.Id);
mail.setToAddresses(new String[] {'test@test.com'});
mail.setSenderDisplayName(this.account.Name);
mail.setSaveAsActivity(false);
mail.setTemplateId(emailTemplate.Id);

try{            
     Messaging.SendEmailResult[] resultMail = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });

if(resultMail[0].isSuccess()){ // email sent successfully
// code to do stuff goes here.... } else{ response = resultMail[0].getErrors().get(0).getMessage(); } }catch(System.EmailException ex){ response = ex.getMessage(); }
