send email from apex

Mahesh DMahesh D
Hi Puli Raju,

Mass Emailing

Pros
  • Is generally faster for the user (you go through a wizard once instead of once per contact.)
Cons
  • Cannot customize the email template on a per-contact basis
  • Might not be able to create a filter to select the recipients
  • Visualforce email templates cannot be used
public void SendEmail() {
 List<contact> lstcon=[Select id from contact limit 2];
 List<Id> lstids= new List<Id>();
 for(Contact c:lstcon) {
  lstids.add(c.id);
 }
 EmailTemplate et=[Select id from EmailTemplate where name = 'EmailTemplatename' limit 1];
 
 Messaging.MassEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.MassEmailMessage();
 mail.setTargetObjectIds(lstIds);
 mail.setSenderDisplayName('System Admin');
 mail.setTemplateId(et.id);
 Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.MassEmailMessage[] { mail });
}

Individual Emailing

Pros
  • Can customize the email template before sending if you select a text template
  • Does not require Extended Mail Merge to be activated
  • Does not require a filter to select recipient
Cons
  • Time consuming for a large number of emails
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage message = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
message.toAddresses = new String[] { 'abc2@gmail.com', 'abc2@gmail.com' };
message.optOutPolicy = 'FILTER';
message.subject = 'Subject Test Message';
message.plainTextBody = 'This is the message body.';
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] messages =   new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> {message};
Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results = Messaging.sendEmail(messages);

if (results[0].success) {
    System.debug('The email was sent successfully.');
} else {
    System.debug('The email failed to send: ' + results[0].errors[0].message);
}

Single email and Mass email options are avaialble both on UI and the Platform options in Salesforce. 
 
Single email in UI can be used by workflows, alerts and notifications etc, where as mass emails can be used in the UI to send mass emails to contacts and leads using a template. 
 
Through APEX we can use the same functionality with additional programming and logic.

1) http://amitsalesforce.blogspot.in/search/label/Email

you can send email from code by below :-

User-added image

SingleEmailMessage:
Single emails are like regular individual emails that may go to one or more addresses (to/cc/bcc), but each of these emails has the same body 
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage message = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
message.toAddresses = new String[] { 'abc@gmail.com', 'xyz@gmail.com' };
message.optOutPolicy = 'FILTER';
message.subject = 'Opt Out Test Message';
message.plainTextBody = 'This is the message body.';
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] messages =   new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> {message};
Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results = Messaging.sendEmail(messages);

if (results[0].success) 
{
    System.debug('The email was sent successfully.');
} else 
{
    System.debug('The email failed to send: ' + results[0].errors[0].message);
}
Please check below post to see all other method
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_classes_email_outbound_single.htm

MassEmailMessage:
Mass emails typically go to a large number of addresses (currently capped to 250 per email), with personalized message bodies. 
public void SendEmail()
{
 List<contact> lstcon=[Select id from contact limit 2];
 List<Id> lstids= new List<Id>();
 for(Contact c:lstcon)
 {
  lstids.add(c.id);
 }
 EmailTemplate et=[Select id from EmailTemplate where name = 'EmailTemplatename' limit 1];
 
 Messaging.MassEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.MassEmailMessage();
 mail.setTargetObjectIds(lstIds);
 mail.setSenderDisplayName('System Admin');
 mail.setTemplateId(et.id);
 Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.MassEmailMessage[] { mail });
