Hi Siva,

It's not possible because Lead,Contact&Users are comes under the Recipient Records,

In the Recipient rceord you can declare the Lead Records so that  you can retrieve the Lead merge Fields.

There is a no need to declare the Lead Records in Related To.

Use the Below Link to Refer-:

Let us know if there any further doubts you have?

If the answer satisfy your requirement pls choose as best Answer.

Hi siva,

I think this also gives a Some Help to you.

Instead of using the Text  type Email type use the Visualforce Type Email Template. 
 
You can do this using a visualforce email template: when creating the template, make the "Related To Type" = "Lead". Then you can pull in any of the Lead fields {For Custom Fields by using their API names in this format: {!RelatedTo.FieldAPIName__c}}

For example:
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="this is the subject" recipientType="User" relatedToType="Lead">
<messaging:plaintextEmailBody >

Full Name            : {!RelatedTo.LastName}
Annual Revenue:  {!RelatedTo.AnnualRevenue}
Lead Owner         : {!RelatedTo.Owner}


</messaging:plainTextEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

Hi,

In trigger this line instead of using this  EmailTemplate templateId = [Select id from EmailTemplate where name ='lead notification template'];

Try

  EmailTemplate templateId = [Select id from EmailTemplate where Id='18 Digit Id of email template' ];

Thanks,
Raj

Hi Maharaja,
Getting error as
method does not exist or incorrect signature: [Messaging.SingleEmailMessage].setwhatId(Schema.SObjectField)
Maharajan CMaharajan C
Hi,

use the mail.setTargetObjectId(leadid);
mac adminmac admin
Getting error asVariable does not exist: leadid at line 30 column 36.
Maharajan CMaharajan C
Hi Mac,

Try the below codes in your trigger.

After the 1st line insert the below one:
 Set<Id> LeadIds = new Set<ID>();   

Replace your mail sections by the below one:
List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails =new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();   
    for(Lead ld : [select id, Status,Lead_age__c, owner.email from Lead where id IN : LeadIds])
   if(mapZipForEmail.containsKey(myLead.PostalCode__c))
{
 
 Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();// For Email
                             
      List<String> sendTo = new List<String>();
      sendTo.add(ld.Owner.Email);//sending message via Email to the Owner of the lead
      mail.setToAddresses(sendTo);
      mail.setReplyTo('test@gmail.com');
      mail.setSenderDisplayName('New Notification');
      mail.saveAsActivity = false;
      mail.setTemplateId(templateId.Id);
      mail.setTargetObjectId(ld.OwnerId);    
      mail.setWhatId(ld.id);
      mails.add(mail);
      Messaging.sendEmail(mails);
  
}

let me know what happens!!! 

Thanks,

Changed the Trigger as follow 
trigger postallead on Lead (after insert) {
Set<Id> LeadIds = new Set<ID>();   

    Map<String,String> mapZipForEmail = new Map<String,String>();
    //Postal code from Lead object and Zip code from Zip_code__c
    for(Postal_Code__c thisZipCode : [Select id,ZipCode__c,Counselors__c from Postal_Code__c ]){
        mapZipForEmail.put(thisZipCode.ZipCode__c, thisZipCode.Counselors__c);
    }
       EmailTemplate templateId = [Select id from EmailTemplate where Id ='00X28000001JTuq'];
 
  //  Create a master list to hold the emails
  List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails =new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();   
    for(Lead ld : [select id, Status, PostalCode__c, owner.email from Lead where id IN : LeadIds])
   if(mapZipForEmail.containsKey(myLead.PostalCode__c))
{
 
 Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();// For Email
                             
      List<String> sendTo = new List<String>();
      sendTo.add(ld.Owner.Email);//sending message via Email to the Owner of the lead
      mail.setToAddresses(sendTo);
      mail.setReplyTo('test@gmail.com');
      mail.setSenderDisplayName('New Notification');
      mail.saveAsActivity = false;
      mail.setTemplateId(templateId.Id);
      mail.setTargetObjectId(ld.OwnerId);    
      mail.setWhatId(ld.id);
      mails.add(mail);
      Messaging.sendEmail(mails);

  // Send all emails in the master list

Hi Maharaja,

mac adminmac admin
I'm sending an email after creating the lead to the given postal code assigned user. But now i'm not geeting any emails to the particular zip code assigned users.
 
Maharajan CMaharajan C
Use the same line from your trigger in the new one mail.setTargetObjectId(UserInfo.getUserId());
mac adminmac admin
Even after change also i'm not getting email alerts.
