lapaul Sending a long text email issue in Apex
Hi,
I have a problem sending a long text email using Apex code. Basically I want to send the following text (Msg).
Msg = 'Date Test Taken: ' + Datetime.now().format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a');
Msg = Msg + ' The following user has just passed the test.';
Msg = Msg + ' User Name: ' + uname;
Msg = Msg + ' RN License#: ' + RNlicense;
Msg = Msg + ' Branch Location: ' + Location;
However it does not like this Msg variable in Apex command mail.setPlainTextBody(Msg);
This will work as long as there is text inside the single quote mail.setPlainTextBody('Date Test Taken: ');
Is there a workaround to send a long text in Apex? see the sendmail method below. Please advice. Thanks
public void SendMail(){
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String[] email = new String[] {'lapaul@crescenthh.com'};
email.add('lapaul@yahoo.com');
email.add('paul@hotmail.com');
mail.setToAddresses(email);
mail.setReplyTo('lapaul@crescenthh.com');
mail.setSenderDisplayName('Online Tests Admin');
mail.setSubject('Antimicrobial Resistance, MRSA and other MDRO test');
mail.setPlainTextBody('Date Test Taken: ' + Datetime.now().format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a'));
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });
}
Find below a workable sample code. It works fine for the long text :
public class sendEmail1
{
public String subject { get; set; }
public String body { get; set; }
private final Account account;
// Create a constructor that populates the Account object
public Account getAccount()
{
return account;
}
public PageReference send()
{
// Define the email
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String addresses;
String Msg = 'Date Test Taken: ' + Datetime.now().format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a');
Msg = Msg + body;
if (account.Contacts != null)
{
addresses = account.Contacts[0].Email;
// There may be more contacts, so loop through the whole list
for (Integer i = 1; i < account.Contacts.size(); i++)
{
if (account.Contacts[i].Email != null)
{
addresses += ':' + addresses;
}
}
}
String[] toAddresses = addresses.split(':', 0);
// Sets the paramaters of the email
email.setSubject( subject );
email.setToAddresses( toAddresses );
email.setPlainTextBody(Msg);
return page.testconfirm;
}
}
