Hi Shekhar,

I have tried the below code in my org.. its working fine. 
trigger Sendemail on training_deal__c (before insert) {
 // Step 0: Create a master list to hold the emails we'll send
  List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
  
       //Set list of people who should get the email
      List<String> sendTo = new List<String>();
  List<User> userlist = [select id,email from user where Profile.Name='System Administrator'];
  
  for(user u:userlist){
  sendTo.add(u.email);
  }
  
  for (training_deal__c myContact : Trigger.new) {
      // Step 1: Create a new Email
      Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
      //Step 2: Set list of people who should get the email
      mail.setToAddresses(sendTo);
    
      // Step 3: Set who the email is sent from
      mail.setSenderDisplayName('New Training Deal created');
    
      // (Optional) Set list of people who should be BCC'ed
      List<String> Bccto = new List<String>();
      Bccto.add('abandi@salesforce.com');
      mail.setBccAddresses(Bccto);

      // Step 4. Set email contents - you can use variables!
      mail.setSubject('New Training Deal created');
      String body = myContact.Name;
      body += 'Training deal Record has been created';
      mail.setHtmlBody(body);
    
      // Step 5. Add your email to the master list
      mails.add(mail);
    }
  // Step 6: Send all emails in the master list
  Messaging.sendEmail(mails);

}

@Ankaiah, whenever record is created at training deal object,  mail need to send to training dept's user . and ceo@abc.com need to be in bcc.
AnkaiahAnkaiah (Salesforce Developers) 
Hi Shekhar,

Do you have the field called training dept user in training deal object?

Thanks!!
shekhar 46shekhar 46
no it is not a field, means i need to send email for users present in training dept . training dept is profile, and there are 2 users in it, need to send email to those users and bcc to ceo

Hi Shekhar,

try with below code and modify the object api name as per your org. 
trigger Sendemail on training_deal__c(before insert){

// Step 0: Create a master list to hold the emails we'll send
  List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
  
       Set list of people who should get the email
      List<String> sendTo = new List<String>();
  List<User> userlist = [select id,email from user where where Profile.Name='Training Department'];
  
  for(user u:userlist){
  sendTo.add(u.email);
  }
  
  for (training_deal__c myContact : Trigger.new) {
      // Step 1: Create a new Email
      Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
      //Step 2: Set list of people who should get the email
      mail.setToAddresses(sendTo);
    
      // Step 3: Set who the email is sent from
      mail.setSenderDisplayName('New Training Deal created');
    
      // (Optional) Set list of people who should be CC'ed
      List<String> ccTo = new List<String>();
      ccTo.add('ceo@yourcompany.com');
      mail.setCcAddresses(ccTo);

      // Step 4. Set email contents - you can use variables!
      mail.setSubject('New Training Deal created');
      String body = myContact.Name;
      body += 'Training deal Record has been created';
      mail.setHtmlBody(body);
    
      // Step 5. Add your email to the master list
      mails.add(mail);
    }
  }
  // Step 6: Send all emails in the master list
  Messaging.sendEmail(mails);
}

if we used setCCaddress and send mail to ceo, does others from trainning dept will know ? 
I want that Whenever mail is going to ceo , nobody should know , hence we want to keep in bcc.
AnkaiahAnkaiah (Salesforce Developers) 
Then you can use the setBccAddresses instead of setCcAddresses.

try with below code. 
trigger Sendemail on training_deal__c(before insert){

// Step 0: Create a master list to hold the emails we'll send
  List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
  
       Set list of people who should get the email
      List<String> sendTo = new List<String>();
  List<User> userlist = [select id,email from user where where Profile.Name='Training Department'];
  
  for(user u:userlist){
  sendTo.add(u.email);
  }
  
  for (training_deal__c myContact : Trigger.new) {
      // Step 1: Create a new Email
      Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
      //Step 2: Set list of people who should get the email
      mail.setToAddresses(sendTo);
    
      // Step 3: Set who the email is sent from
      mail.setSenderDisplayName('New Training Deal created');
    
      // (Optional) Set list of people who should be Bcc'ed
      List<String> BccTo = new List<String>();
      ccTo.add('ceo@yourcompany.com');
      mail.setBccAddresses(BccTo);

      // Step 4. Set email contents - you can use variables!
      mail.setSubject('New Training Deal created');
      String body = myContact.Name;
      body += 'Training deal Record has been created';
      mail.setHtmlBody(body);
    
      // Step 5. Add your email to the master list
      mails.add(mail);
    }
  }
  // Step 6: Send all emails in the master list
  Messaging.sendEmail(mails);
}

  // Step 6: Send all emails in the master list
  Messaging.sendEmail(VarMails);
}
}
}
}
error
invalid character, invalid data type varmail



 
AnkaiahAnkaiah (Salesforce Developers) 
you have placed wrong value VarMails in the below code.
worng:
  // Step 6: Send all emails in the master list
  Messaging.sendEmail(VarMails);

correct:
  // Step 6: Send all emails in the master list
  Messaging.sendEmail(Mails);

Modify the code and check.

Thanks!!
