I am trying to build a custom scontrol using which I should be able to send an e-mail with a predetermined e-mail template.

 

Here is what I have right now.

 

Custom Object Department with following fields

Department Name & Department E-mail

 

Custom Object myTasks with Department Name as a Lookup(Department).

 

Here is the e-mail template.

 

Subject: Assignment Notification: Task # {!myTask_Name} has been assigned to you.
Email Body: Greetings,

Task #: {!myTask_Name}
Subject: {!myTask_myTask_Subject}
Description: {!myTask_myTask_Description}

Click on the link to access the task: {!myTask_Link}

 

I want to add a custom link in myTask to fire off an e-mail to the proper department using the department e-mail associated to it. The idea is something simillar to what we have now in case queues and assignment rules with e-mail notifications.

 

Any help in completing this will be greatly appreciated.

The application that I am creating needs to send an email out upon completion of a process. The process happens in a S-Control that updates a Custom Object.

Is there a way of sending emails through an S-Control? I have been hearing of an emailauthor.jsp but have not been able to find info on it.

Thanks.

Hello. What are my options for sending emails from an scontrol? My thought is to write a standalone process that combs through objects and sends the appropriate emails, but I thought I'd check the scontrol route as well.
thanks
