I'm having a long-time issue sending emails to a collection of contacts. I'm using a flow to loop through records in a custom object. Based on the record status I need to send an email to the contact related to the record. I used to do this using the SendEmail class, but I soon ran into governor limits as there are more than 10 related contacts.
I solved this by adding a pauze in the loop, but eventually this also fails as the flow takes too long to execute. Instead of sending the email directly in the flow I removed all the logic from the flow and replaced it with a simple update of each record. This update triggers a Process Builder process, which sends the email.
Since this are two seperate processes I assumed I would not run into any governor limits as the Process Builder only sends one email. But it still throws an error: CANNOT_EXECUTE_FLOW_TRIGGER: We can't save this record because the “Upsert View” process failed. Give your Salesforce admin these details. An Apex error occurred: System.LimitException: Too many Email Invocations: 11
I know there is a MassEmailMessage Apex Class that should be able to do what I want, but after spending days trying to get this to work I gave up on Apex classes.
Does anyone have any pointers on how I should fix this?
I created a VF Page to create new leads, the new lead must be related to an existing Campaign. On the VF Page I want to show the Campaign description. I created a VF Page:
And an Apex page to get the Campaign description and to save the Lead and set a relation with the Campaign:
public class CreateLead {
public Lead getLead() {
return lead;
}
public Lead lead {get;set;}
public CreateLead (){
lead = new Lead();
}
public PageReference save() {
insert lead;
CampaignMember member = new CampaignMember(
LeadId = lead.Id,
CampaignId = '7011r00000'
);
insert member;
return null;
}
private Campaign campaign;
public Campaign getCampaign() {
if (campaign == null){
campaign = [select Name, Description from Campaign where
id = '7011r00000'];
}
return campaign;
}
}
This works fine, however I hardcoded the Campaign Id in the Apex class. I want to be able to reuse the Apex class so I want to make the Campaign Id variable.
How can I pass a Campaign Id from the VF Page to the Apex class when the page is loaded. I found solutions with an additional form on the VF Page that can be used to set the Campaign Id. I would like to define it in the VF Page and make it available in the Apex class when a user loads the page.
I am having a hard time figuring out a (probably) newbie, non-developer issue, since I'm both I have no idea how to fix this issue I am looking for some help here. Hopefully someone is able to point me in the right direction. I'm running into Salesforce Governor Limits, I understand why, but I have no clue how to solve them.
This is my situation: I created 2 new objects: Topic and ContactTopicRelation. The topic object has a one-to-many relation with the ContactTopicRelation object. The ContactTopicRelation has the following fields: Topic Id, Contact Id, Status and Text
Through our website we allow Salesforce contacts to share their view on a Topic. Each view is stored in the ContactTopicRelation object (text) with a default status 'posted'.
I created a flow to send out an email confirmation to all Contacts that shared their view. This flow is triggered automatically every 24 hours. Once the confirmation is sent I update the ContactTopicRelation status to 'confirmed'. Each email I send contains a unique text and link, bases on the ContactTopicRelation fields. I'm using the SendEmail Apex class to send this email.
This all worked perfectly fine until I started using this in production and we received more than 10 views within a day, I started to receive a flow error (Too many API email invocations 11). When we receive more than 50 views, I received an additional flow error (Too many SOQL queries: 101).
I tried to find a solution for this and found out I should not send emails within a loop, nor should I update a record within a loop. Batch sending emails and updating records is the answer, however I'm unable to find any documentation or examples how to do this is a flow. I'm sure there is a way to do this using Apex, but since do not have a developers background I prefer to do this in a flow.
In my current flow I do the following: Get Record: Topic Get Record: Get all ContactTopicRelations with status 'posted' Loop: ContactTopicRelations Get Record: ContactTopicRelations -> Contact (lookup email address) Apex: Send email with a custom body text to Contact email address Update Record: update ContactTopicRelations status to 'confirmed'
I 'solved' my issues by adding a 'start' input variable to my flow and added a condition to the loop to stop it after 10 iterations. I now manually call the flow and manually set the start point to 1,11,21,31, etc. This works, but it is a manual process and I asume there must be a proper way to do this.
Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction, any example would be great.
