when the record gets aproved, we need to send an email with approval comments.

 

i created a visualforce email template, visualforce component and controller.

attached is the code.

Any body dealt with this kind of req? Please help

 

Component:

<apex:component controller="JCApprovedEmailTemplate" access="global" >
    <apex:attribute name="jcId" assignTo="{!jcId}" type="String" description="ID of JobCode"/>
    
    
<apex:dataTable value="{!approvalSteps}" var="step">

        <apex:column value="{!step.Comments}"/>
    </apex:dataTable>
</apex:component>

 

Controller:

public class JCApprovedEmailTemplate {
	
	public String jcId { get; set; }
	
	public list<ProcessInstanceHistory> getApprovalSteps() {
		
		system.debug('------------------------------jcID--------------'+jcId);
		
      if (jcId != null) {
      	
       Job_Code__c jc = [Select Id, (Select TargetObjectId, SystemModstamp, StepStatus, RemindersSent, ProcessInstanceId, OriginalActorId, IsPending, IsDeleted, Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById, Comments, ActorId From ProcessSteps order by SystemModstamp desc limit 1) from Job_Code__c where Id = :jcId ];

try to add the list as variable in your class.

 

 

public class JCApprovedEmailTemplate {
	
	public String jcId { get; set; }
	public List<ProcessInstanceHistory> approvalSteps;
	public list<ProcessInstanceHistory> getApprovalSteps() {
		
		system.debug('------------------------------jcID--------------'+jcId);
		
      if (jcId != null) {
      	
       Job_Code__c jc = [Select Id, (Select TargetObjectId, SystemModstamp, StepStatus, RemindersSent, ProcessInstanceId, OriginalActorId, IsPending, IsDeleted, Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById, Comments, ActorId From ProcessSteps order by SystemModstamp desc limit 1) from Job_Code__c where Id = :jcId ];
		
		system.debug('------------------------------jcID--------------'+jc);
		system.debug('------------------------------jc.ProcessSteps--------------'+jc.ProcessSteps);
	
      }
      approvalSteps=jc.ProcessSteps;
      return approvealSteps;
    }
}
