How to send email from visualforce without apex class
I wrote some test logic for sending an email from VF page with using apex class.
Javascript from VF page:
Javascript from VF page:
function sendMessage(){
var receiver = document.getElementById("receiverId").value;
var pattern = /^\w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/;
if(receiver.length > 0 && pattern.test(receiver)){
var subject = "{!$User.FirstName}" + " " + "{!$User.LastName}" + " contact information";
var body = document.getElementById("info").innerHTML.trim();
sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
var success = sforce.apex.execute("Emailer", "sendEmail", {toAddress: receiver, subject: subject, body: body});
if(success){
alert("Email was sent successfully.");
} else {
alert("Email was not sent. There is some error!");
}
} else {
alert("Wrong email");
}
};
Apex class:
global class Emailer {
webService static Boolean sendEmail(String toAddress, String subject, String body){
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String[] toAddresses = new String[]{toAddress};
mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
mail.setSubject(subject);
mail.setPlainTextBody(body);
Messaging.SendEmailResult[] result = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[]{mail});
return result[0].isSuccess();
}
}
Is there a way to do the same without apex class, just using VF and javascript(remote objects or something like that)?
Long Answer: You could create a new object called something like WorkflowEmail__c and set a bunch of String fields for to addresses and create your body and subject lines. Then write a workflow rule that send an email anytime that object is sent using a VisualForce email template with the only merge feilds being the subject / body. Then in your JavaScript just insert the WorkflowEmail__c object. It's similar to something we do but it's not the cleanest solution.
