Is it possible to set a default reply-to address from a workflow generated email action?

 

From this posting it seems that Salesforce uses the last user who logged in?

http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=apex&message.id=12626

 

That seems silly.

Is there some hidden setting I'm missing for the default workflow user?

 

Thanks

 

Does anyone have a best-practices recommendation for adding a case email as a case comment?

It seems odd to me that when you activate email to case the messages are stored as emails and not case comments.  My first instinct is to make an s-control to merge these two into one display but it seems that I'm missing something simple.  I can't be the first person to encounter this.  How are other people handling this?

 

 

I have a trigger on the Contract object.  The contract object has a validation rule that only allows certain profiles to add a record.  My unit test fails for the trigger even though Im running the test under an administrative account.

Is there a way to add the unit test profile to the validation rule?

This doesn't seem right. 

What seems better is to somehow simulate a mock profile that would have permission to pass the test.

Could someone please offer some guidance on the best practice?

Thanks

I have professional services line items that I add through the SOAP API and through the data loader and these external tools allow me to add values such as ".385" days.  When I try to add the same value through the SF GUI it truncates the value to ".38".
This is frustrating since the database obviously allows long decimals.
Has anyone found a way to allow the user to add quantity values with more than 2 decimals for opportunity line items, or any other numeric field with this limitation?  I'm wary of creating my own quantity field as this is will inevitably foul up some other reports we've already written.
Does anyone have a workaround?  I have already tried creating a trigger that updates the quantity based on a custom field, but the field is always truncated.
I hope there's an easier solution than creating a custom field and sending an outbound message to update the field with  a web service, but I don't see any other way to solve this.
Thanks

I have an email template that notifies certain people via workflow when an opportunity reaches a certain stage.
This was working fine until last month when the template stopped binding the data to the message.
Can someone please have a look at this template and let me know if anything's wrong?
Maybe the API changed in some way with one of the upgrades and I missed the notice?

If I create an HTML field (not using the apex page tag library "apex:inputTextarea"):

<textarea id="_editorContent" name="editorContent" dojoType="dijit.Editor" >
              {!content.body__c}
</textarea>

why would this not work:

ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('editorContent');

I get a blank value.
Is this call only for URL values?
What is the correct call for a form field?

Thanks

Is there any way to use the API to update the endpoint URL of an outbound message?
I'd like to implement a script that would update my sandbox instance to point our workflow to our development environment.
Not sure this is possible...

I was happily developing using the eclipse IDE plugin for Visualforce over the past week.  I logged in today and I started getting these errors:
NoClassDefFoundError: javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart java.mail.internet.MimeMultipart

I have no idea what has changed.  When I try to create a project, save a class etc.  I get the above error.  Basically any interaction with the Salesforce server.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling eclipse several times to no avail.

What makes this stranger is that I was able to install everything on another PC and it works fine so some classpath setting has to be screwed up somewhere on my development machine.  Has anyone encountered this?  At the very least, could someone suggest how to uninstall the salesforce eclipse plugin completely?  I have an extracted version of eclipse 3.3 running off my c drive.  I have deleted this as well as the .metadata folder in my workspace directory.

Where else to visualforce configuration files reside?  It seems that my IDE keeps trying to import a corrupt classpath but I can't find where this is set.  I even tried copying the J2EE mail jar into my JRE and I still get the same stupid classpath error.

Frustrating....

Apologies if this is an RTFM-type question, but is there a way to send outbound SOAP messages when a record is deleted?
The 'created or updated' workflow rule doesn't seem to fire anything if the record is deleted.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Can someone please recommend a best practice for migrating cases and case comments while preserving the 'created date'.  I don't all my old legacy data to look like it was created all in one day.  I tried to use the API and the Salesfroce Data Loader and neither permit me to update this field? 
Is there a workaround or something obvious I'm missing.  I feel like someone must have solved this problem before but I can't find it in the forum search.

I have a workflow rule that updates the owner of a case to a queue when certain conditions are met.
The update works but no emails ever go out even though I have the checkbox 'Send Email to Members' checked.  What am I missing here?  The case is created from the API.  Do the case emails only go out if the case is created form within the salesforce GUI?  If so, then queues seem pretty worthless because you can't use them in workflow actions. 
I feel like I'm overlooking something very obvious.  Like some hidden checkbox somewhere that is silencing the emails.

:smileytongue:

I'm sure someone ahs done this but I can't find any documentation on this in the SF docs or the forum.
How does one search for a solution using the API and then filter the results by category?
The only way I can see to do it would be to walk through the tree of categories and assemble a list of nodeIds and then strip out any solutions that are not in this set.
There must be a better way to do this with a SOSL cmmand?  Has anyone done this?
Some SOSL or SOQL would help the most.

Is there a way to get rid of the buttons on the bottom of a splash page so the user can NOT hide the page forever.
I thought splash pages would be a great way to expose custom objects in the customer portal but this limitation has me scratching my head.
I can't hide them with javascript b/c I get cross-domain scripting errors. This is because the buttons are in the parent frame and I can't control the parent from outside the domain. I'm using the custom links part of the home page to create the splash pages.

I'm struggling a bit to write a simple join query using the 'relationship query' syntax of SOQL.
Could someone please post any ideas about how to obtain the following info in a single SOQL command.
Here is the pseudo code:
Get all contacts for accounts that have assets with product='X'
I know I can iterate through all assets and grab each account one at a time but I thought there must be a better way.

I've tried the following which throws SOQL syntax errors:

Select a.Id, a.AccountNumber, a.Name, (SELECT id,lastname,firstname,email FROM Contacts), (SELECT status, Product2Id from Assets ) from Account a where a.Assets.Product2Id = '01t40000000bgY7AAI'

I was wondering how I can use a custom controller with a class variable, totalAmount, defined as a Double data type and have it displayed as a Currency field in a Visualforce Page? I know if I use a standard controller and use component that Visualforce will automatically render it as a currency field. But how do I accomplish that with a custom controller and a class field defined as a "Double" data type?

To elaborate, the scenario is to display the total amount of multiple line items. The visualforce page allows users to enter multiple lines items with varying amounts and at the bottom there is the "Total" amount. The VF/Apex code is properly aggregate the amount, but it is stored as a Double data type field in the Apex Code controller class - and therefore displayed in the page as a double.


Thanks.

Has anyone else experienced a situation where your Outbound Message queue is backing up and messages are not being attempted to be sent?

Our workflow rules are triggering the right outbound messages - and when they get sent they process fine - but we're seeing them sit in queue for hours (up to 24 ). It also happens to some outbound messages that get attempted, but fail the first time (i.e. we have messages sitting in queue that say "next delivery attempt" and list a time way in the past).

I've tried support but they have not been able to find a cause.

Today our queue was working fine in the AM, but after noon it stopped attempting all messages after it got this error (which looks like a server side issue to my ignorant eyes):  " Request timed out waiting for connection to ConnPool_2, Num waiting=10, Num Active RIs=45"

Are there any limits I might be overlooking? We have over 120 users on unlimited accounts.

Any anecdote or insight is appreciated! Especially considerting our new website we just launched relies on this integration.

Thanks,
AJD

Hi All:

Do you know of any reason why an Outbound Message would NOT send.  I have a message that is sitting in the queue with 0 attempts.  Each time I hit 'Retry' it still says 0.

Any and all assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
jd

We are working in SalesForce Team Additon and are finding the Lookup Field lookup function to be frustrating. There are no filters available and with thousands of contacts, it is impractical.

My quest is to find s-control code that will allow us to establish a predefined filter based on the current account to provide a list of contacts from which the user can select.

Can anyone help me?

Regards,
Jim

Hi,

I am looking for some help with the following:

I get the following error when attempt to send outbound message to my test server: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated

- I have a real certificate installed on the server.
- I am also able to view the listener description when I point browser on my dev workstation to the test server (same URL as the endpoint specified in my O/B message).
- In the IIS log, I can see all the hits from my dev workstation, but no hits from either of SFDC IPaddresses (204.14....)

Appreciate any info that will help me understand and debug this, or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Hi:


I was trying to use the regular saleforce Lookup (the one with a magnify glass) in my S-control. it is invoked by a java script call to openLookup('/widg/lookup_fs.jsp?*****').

Can some one explain how to use this method?
and how does the search result gets back to my form?

thanks,
