Hi folk,

Hopefully you smart guys can help me out here. I have similar problem like you. I am trying to send an email from custom object with the related list. My custom object is 'Sample Tracking'

I created an email button on custom object with the following.

location.replace('/email/author/emailauthor.jsp?retURL=/{!Sample_Tracking__c.Id}&rtype=003&p2_lkid={! Sample_Tracking__c.Recipient_ContactId__c }&template_id=00XJ0000000QD59&p5=')

I created an email template with following:

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Sample Tracking Products and Product Descriptions" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Sample_Tracking__c"> <messaging:HtmlEmailBody > <html> <body> <STYLE type="text/css"> TH {font-size: 11px; font-face: arial;background: #CCCCCC; border-width: 1; text-align: center } TD {font-size: 11px; font-face: verdana } TABLE {border: solid #CCCCCC; border-width: 1} TR {border: solid #CCCCCC; border-width: 1} </STYLE> <font face="arial" size="2">

<p>Dear {!recipient.name},</p> <p>Below is a list of Products and Product Descriptions cases related to the Sample Request: {!relatedTo.Id}.</p> <p> {!relatedTo.Recipient_Contact__c}.</p> <table border="0" > <tr > <th>Product</th><th>Product description</th><th>Send Quantity</th><th>Cost</th> </tr> <apex:repeat var="cx" value="{!relatedTo.Product_Samples__r}"> <tr> <td><a href="https://na1.salesforce.com/{!cx.id}">View</a> | <a href="https://na1.salesforce.com/{!cx.id}/e">Edit</a></td> <td>{!cx.name}</td> </tr> </apex:repeat> </table> <P/> </font> </body> </html>

</messaging:htmlEmailBody> </messaging:emailTemplate>

The problem I am getting is, when i click the email button the sample tracking is is not passed to the email template. And the email template don't return anything. It loads properly with contact in 'to box' of email and subjects text comes properly but the particular sample tracking page from which I click the email button is not passed to the template. So none of the related lists shows up.

Please suggest. I have spend about a week with no solution. Appreciate your time.

Thanks

Email template is asking custom object Related to record_id

Hi ,

I really aprreciate your help. I have already spend 3 days looking around and can't find answer anywhere.

I have a custom object ' Sample Tracking'. I want to create a send email button and send the related list' products' to the associated customer. I created the botton with following no problem,

location.replace('/email/author/emailauthor.jsp?retURL=/{!Sample_Tracking__c.Id}&rtype=003&p2_lkid={! Sample_Tracking__c.Recipient_ContactId__c }&template_id=00XJ0000000QD2e')

This is working fine. and triggering the email window. Now I created the email template with the following code. My question is, when I click on send email, the sampletracking ID is not passed to the email template. How do I do that. On the other hand when I want to test email template, it is asking for entering 'related to record' .What should I enter there. Please help me in right direction. All i want is when I am on sample tracking page, and click the send an email, the same tracking no. should be pass to email template. and it should list out the products associated with that sample tracking no.

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Testing Visualforce Email Template" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Sample_Tracking__c"> <messaging:HtmlEmailBody > <html> <body> <STYLE type="text/css"> TH {font-size: 11px; font-face: arial;background: #CCCCCC; border-width: 1; text-align: center } TD {font-size: 11px; font-face: verdana } TABLE {border: solid #CCCCCC; border-width: 1} TR {border: solid #CCCCCC; border-width: 1} </STYLE> <font face="arial" size="2">

<p>Dear {!recipient.name},</p> <p>Below is a list of Products and Product Descriptions cases related to the Sample Request: {!relatedTo.name}.</p> <table border="0" > <tr > <th>Product</th><th>Product description</th><th>Send Quantity</th><th>Cost</th> </tr> <apex:repeat var="cx" value="{!relatedTo.Product_Samples__r}"> <tr> <td><a href="https://na1.salesforce.com/{!cx.id}">View</a> | <a href="https://na1.salesforce.com/{!cx.id}/e">Edit</a></td> <td>{!cx.name}</td> </tr> </apex:repeat> </table> <p /> </font> </body> </html>

Pass parameters into VF email template?

Hello. I have a client who manages seminars and speakers using Campaigns. The client wants a custom button on Campaign detail screen that will send two emails to each campaign member:

Email 1 contains fields from Campaign and related Account (seminar location map and directions text).

Email 2 contains a list of seminar speakers' contact info. This list of info contains fields from Contact, Campaign and CampaignMember. In other words, if John Doe, Richard Roe, and Nancy Smith are members in a campaign, the button should create a list containing info from Contact and CampaignMember for these three contacts, and then email the list to each one of them.

First I tried using standard email template but I can't pass the campaign and campaignmember fields.

Now I'm looking at Visualforce email templates but I can't see how I can pass the Campaign Id/Name to the VF email template. I need the campaign ID because I need a VF component to display the contact list and so I have to pass the Campaign ID through the VF template into the component.

Can anyone tell me if parameters can be passed to VF email templates? I've looked at the documentation and done some searching but haven't found anything.

Thanks

David

email with custom object related list

I'm trying to send a Visualforce email template with custom object information that also lists out some child items. It's a pretty simple idea, but I'm getting a compile error because it doesn't like my child object reference. Can anyone help me correct this? I have bolded the problem line.

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Changeover Order Form APPROVED"
recipientType="User" relatedToType="Changeover_Order_Form__c">
<messaging:plainTextEmailBody >

Details:
Account: {!relatedTo.Account__c}

Ingoing Order Amount: {!relatedTo.Ingoing_Order_Amount__c}
Package: {!relatedTo.Package_Options__c}
Gift Card Level: {!relatedTo.Gift_Card_Level__c}
Gift Card dollars used: {!relatedTo.Total_Gift_Card_dollars_used__c}

GIFT CARD SELECTION:
<apex:repeat var="gx" value="{!relatedTo.Gift_Card_Selection}">
Vendor: {!gx.Vendor_Card__c} ] - # of Cards: {!gx.of_Cards__c} ]
</apex:repeat>

View the record: http://www.salesforce.com/{!relatedTo.Id}

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

I made sure that the Child Relationship Name field was filled in with "Gift_Card_Selection."

Am I missing something else?
