How to use URLFOR and Send Email action.

I have a page that uses the standard Lead controller. I'd like to create a link that sends user to the Send Email page for this lead.

 

I have tried the following syntax but it is not work, error: Field $Action.Activity.SendEmail does not exist. Check spelling.

 

{!URLFOR($Action.Activity.SendEmail,Lead.Id)}

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Jason

That's a tough one... seems like it should work.  It's not as "new release proof" but you can always just get rid of the URLFOR altogether and just use "/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid={!Lead.Id}&type=00Q&retURL={!Lead.Id}".

 

By the way, when trying to troubleshoot this one, I created a custom link that was just a URLFOR pointing to itself... the result when clicked was an infinite loop (blank page that just kept reloading)... I really need to step away from the computer a little this weekend :-P.

Ehhh, I couldn't figure this one out and just ended up hardcoding. I still think URLFOR is the most poorly documented feature on salesforce.com

Hi,

 

I was trying to automatically bcc an email address when sending emails from Assets and it worked doing the following:

 

{!URLFOR($Action.Activity.SendEmail, Asset.Id , [p2_lkid = Asset.AccountId, p3_lkid =Asset.Id, rtype="003", retURL= "/" + Asset.Id, p5 = "test@mail.com"])}

 

So I am assuming you should be able to transform it a little bit for Leads.

 

Best,

etienne
