Error While using Inbound Email service
Hello All,
I am trying to use Email Service, for this I have created an Email Service in my SFDC instance.
I have created one Apex class as below mentioned-
global class inBoundEmail implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler { global Messaging.InboundEmailResult handleInboundEmail(Messaging.InboundEmail email, Messaging.InboundEnvelope envelope) { Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = new Messaging.InboundEmailresult(); String subToCompare = 'Create Contact'; if(email.subject.equalsIgnoreCase(subToCompare)) { Contact c = new Contact(); c.LastName = email.plainTextBody; insert c; // Save attachments, if any for(Messaging.Inboundemail.TextAttachment tAttachment : email.textAttachments) { Attachment attachment = new Attachment(); attachment.Name = tAttachment.fileName; attachment.Body = Blob.valueOf(tAttachment.body); attachment.ParentId = c.Id; insert attachment; } //Save any Binary Attachment for(Messaging.Inboundemail.BinaryAttachment bAttachment : email.binaryAttachments) { Attachment attachment = new Attachment(); attachment.Name = bAttachment.fileName; attachment.Body = bAttachment.body; attachment.ParentId = c.Id; insert attachment; } } result.success = true; return result; } }
But while sending email from my email id to Create Contact , I'm getting below mentioned error
The attached message was sent to the Email Service address <createcontact@o-kkmoyp3dd260lsz0qd262mitw6wxvwfpozgoqdwqpr58npllg.9-ekpgea2.9.apex.salesforce.com> but could not be processed because the following error occurred: 554 System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object Class.inBoundEmail.handleInboundEmail: line 14, column 1
I'm following below steps while sending email..
ToAddress- createcontact@o-kkmoyp3dd260lsz0qd262mitw6wxvwfpozgoqdwqpr58npllg.9- ekpgea2.9.apex.salesforce.com
Subject- Create Contact
Email Body- Contact Name.
Could any one help me to get this ok. So that i can see inserted contact in Contacts tab.
Thanks & regards,

Hi,
Here the problem is the attachment is receiving as Null.
You should check whether there is attachment is there or not in Email.Textattachment before using it.
Please add below highlighted code to your code so that Null reference problem will be solved.
Find the CooK Book Recipe also regarding this.

The Main problem here is even you are attaching an attachment it is not considering it as attachment.
