Hi,

The try removing /comment the following fields referred by you:-

 

                <td>{!cx.Lead.Name}</td>

                <td>{!cx.Contact.Name}</td>
                <td>{!cx.Lead.email}</td>
                <td>{!cx.Contact.email}</td>

 

and check if the error persists , if the error goes away let me know , then I will tell you the reason ....

I tried that and that didn't work. I even tried removing the fields that you mention and just leave the Subject field in and I am still getting an error. Do you have any more ideas what it could be causing this error?

 

Thanks for your help.

 I saw your relatedToType is Task and you are referencing relatedTo.Task, means it is "Task.Task", that obviously does not mean anything.

But yes I have tried it by changing the RelatedToTYpe from Task to User, and then in repeat , I referenced relatedTo.Tasks , it is also not working, there must be some gotcha.

Hey hemantgarg,

 

I am thinking the same thing. I am starting to believe that we are not able to create user custom templates, that templates can only target leads and contacts; that templates are not used for internal people like users.

 

Thanks,
