Send Email from Template, via apex, using a generic email address

Does anyone know how to send an email, from a template, via apex code, as someone other than the currently logged in user? Maybe using a company org-wide email?

Hi,


You can send an email through apex code and set the from address and from name in Organization wide address section in administration set up and use the addresses in apex code bu using below code snippet.

OrgWideEmailAddress owa = [select id, DisplayName, Address from OrgWideEmailAddress limit 1];
EmailTemplate templateId = [Select id from EmailTemplate where name = 'Waitlisted opportunity now open'];
List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> allmsg = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
mail.setTemplateID(templateId.Id);
mail.setSaveAsActivity(false);
mail.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(owa.id);
allmsg.add(mail);
Messaging.sendEmail(allmsg,false);

Hi 

Please find attached a sample email sending code:-

 

emailHelper.sendEmail(myContact[0].id, newCandidate[0].id);
 

  // In a separate class so that it can be used elsewhere

Global class emailHelper {

 

public static void sendEmail(ID recipient, ID candidate) {

 

  //New instance of a single email message

 Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail =

            new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

 

// Who you are sending the email to

   mail.setTargetObjectId(recipient);

 

   // The email template ID used for the email

   mail.setTemplateId('00X30000001GLJj');

           

   mail.setWhatId(candidate);   

   mail.setBccSender(false);

   mail.setUseSignature(false);

   mail.setReplyTo('recruiting@acme.com');

   mail.setSenderDisplayName('HR Recruiting');

   mail.setSaveAsActivity(false); 

  

Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });

 

    } 

}

Thank you Ispita, it worked. I guess I was looking at old documentation or I just overlooked it but I had not seen the setOrgWideEmailAddressID function in the API documentation.

This code can be used anywhere in the trigger, apex scheduler, or normal apex class.
        OrgWideEmailAddress owa = [select id, DisplayName, Address from OrgWideEmailAddress limit 1];
        List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> allmsg = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
        EmailTemplate emailSickEmpTemplate = [Select Id from EmailTemplate where developername = 'Email_with_list_of_sick_employees'];
        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        mail.setTemplateID(emailSickEmpTemplate.Id); 
        mail.setTargetObjectId(Userinfo.getUserId());
        mail.setSaveAsActivity(false);
        mail.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(owa.id);
        allmsg.add(mail);
        Messaging.sendEmail(allmsg,false);

That's it, nothing less nothing more. You can definitely add optional methods but be wary of it. Also in the email template you may or may not have recepient type or any other addition parameters. It can be as simple as <messaging:emailTemplate subject="xyz">
