Walter@Adicio Load emailTemplate body with field merging completed in field the user can then edit
From what I read on the boards this is not possible because the "merging" happens when the email is actually sent based on WhatId and TargetObjectId and objects related to those objects.
I still need to get this done but before I write something the hard way does anyone have any feedback on what im thinking i need to do?
here is what i am thinking i need to do.
- when the script initializes i do a field describe on the objects it set up for the whoId and TargetObjectId
- i map the field names to the values returned from the query
- get the body from the email template
- parse through the body to find the merge fields looking for "X" inside the merge values "{!X}".
- replace X with the value from the map , matching by field name
doesnt that sound like it will accomplish what i want?
please provide feedback.
thank you.
Seems correct approach to me as adding merge fields using whatId and targetObjectId is only availabel for some objects. I also did same thing when i needed to send mail where target object was a custom object and I was sending mail via Apex Code.
