Email Programming:

==================

"Messaging" Namespace.
|
|
--> 1. Outbound Email Services:
By using Outbound Email Services, we can send the
Email Notifications to the required people with the required subject, content, CC
addresses, BCC addresses, attachments based on the email id.

We have the below 2 readymade classes to send the


email notifications through programming.

1. Messaging.SingleEmailMessage Class
2. Messaging.MassEmailMessage Class

2. Inbound Email Services:

By using this feature, we can receive the email


notification from the external email id's sent by the customers / end users.

We can receive the email notifications from the


external systems / email id's by using an interface called as

"Messaging.InboundEmailHandler" interface.
|
--> HandleInboundEmail()
method.

Messaging.SingleEmailMessage Class:
===================================
By using this Class we can send the email notifications to either one or more
people with the required email details along with the attachments also.

"SingleEmailMessage" class provides a set of readymade methods to be used to


specify the details of the email body and subject and To Address and other details.

All the methods are "Instance Methods". Which can be accessible by creating the
object of the class.

Syntax:
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage <objectName> = new
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

Ex:
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

Methods:
--------
1. SetToAddresses(List<ToAddresses>):
Ex:
string[] toAddress = new
string[]
{'ram@gmail.com','hr@test.com','ferozjani@gmail.com'};

email.SetToAddresses(toAddress);
2. SetCCAddresses(List<CCAddresses>):
Ex:
string[] ccAddress = new
string[]
{'ram@gmail.com','hr@test.com','ferozjani@gmail.com'};

email.SetCCAddresses(ccAddress);

3. SetBCCAddresses(List<BCCAddresses>):
Ex:
string[] bccAddress = new
string[]
{'ram@gmail.com','hr@test.com','ferozjani@gmail.com'};

email.SetBCCAddresses(bccAddress);

4. SetSenderDisplayName(string):

Ex:
email.SetSenderDisplayName('DELL Inc Customer Support Center');

5. SetReplyTo(string replyToEmailID):

Ex:
email.SetReplyTo('sales@dell.com');

6. SetSubject(<Email Subject>):

7. SetPlainTextBody(<Plain Text Email Content> ):

8. SetHTMLBody(<HTML Email Content> ):

9. SetFileAttachments(List<Messaging.EmailFileAttachment>):

Sending the Email:


-----------------
Messaging.SendEmailResult[] result =
Messaging.SendEmail(List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>
emailMessages);

(OR)

Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results =
Messaging.SendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[]
{<emailObjects>});

Governor Limit:
---------------
1. We can add max. of 150 Email Addresses in a single invocation. (i.e.
Including To addresses, CC Addresses and BCC Addresses)

2. Per transaction, we can use max. of 10 Email Invocations.

3. Max. size of Email should not be exceeds 10 MB. (Including Subject,


Content, and Attachments)

UseCase:
========
Create an Apex Class, to Create the Lead Records inside the Lead Object. Once
the Lead Record has been created, then Send the Email Notification to the Lead
Person.
1. And Embed the Email Content inside a "PDF File".
2. Add the PDF File as an attachment along with the Email Notification.

Class Code:
-----------
public class MessagingUtility
{
Public static void CreateNewLeadRecord(integer maxRecords)
{
List<Lead> leadsToInsert = new List<LEad>();

if(maxRecords > 0)
{
for(integer counter = 1; counter <= maxRecords; counter++)
{
Lead ld = new Lead();

ld.FirstName = 'Email ';


ld.LastName = 'Test Lead - '+ counter;
ld.Email = 'emailtestlead'+counter+'@gmail.com';
ld.Company = 'Cognizant Technology';
ld.Status = 'Open - Not Contacted';
ld.Title = 'Project Manager';
ld.Phone = '9900998877';
ld.Fax = '9966554433';
ld.Website = 'www.gmail.com';
ld.Rating = 'Hot';
ld.Industry = 'Technology';
ld.AnnualRevenue = 4000000;

leadsToInsert.Add(ld);
}

if(! leadsToInsert.isEmpty())
{
insert leadsToInsert;

// Invoke the method to send the Email Alerts..


SendEmailAlertsToLeads(leadsToInsert);
}
}
}

Public static void SendEmailAlertsToLeads(List<Lead> lstLeads)


{
// Create a List Collection, to Add Multiple Lead People's Email
Notifications.
List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> lstEmails = new
List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();

if(! lstLeads.isEmpty())
{
for(Lead ld : lstLeads)
{
// Prepare the Email Notification..
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

string[] toAddress = new string[]{ld.Email,


'ferozjani@gmail.com'};
email.setToAddresses(toAddress);

string[] ccAddress = new String[]{ld.Email, 'hr@gmail.com'};


// email.setCcAddresses(ccAddress);

string[] bccAddress = new string[]{ld.Email, 'hr@gmail.com'};


// email.setBccAddresses(bccAddress);

email.setSenderDisplayName('DELL Sales Team');

email.setReplyTo('sales@dell.com');

email.setSubject('Congratulations '+ ld.FirstName + ' '+


ld.LastName + '..!! Your Lead Record has been created successfully.');

string emailContent = 'Dear '+ld.FirstName + ' '+ ld.LastName+

email.setHtmlBody(emailContent);

// Prepare a List Collection, to add Attachments.


List<Messaging.EmailFileAttachment> lstAttachments =
new List<Messaging.EmailFileAttachment>();

// Prepare an attachment..
Messaging.EmailFileAttachment attach = new
Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
attach.setContentType('Application/pdf');
attach.setFileName(ld.FirstName+ ' '+
ld.LastName+'.pdf');
attach.setBody(Blob.toPdf(emailContent));
lstAttachments.Add(attach);

// Add the Attachments to the Email..


email.setFileAttachments(lstAttachments);

// Add the Email Notification to collection.


lstEmails.Add(email);
}

if(! lstEmails.isEmpty())
{
Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results =
Messaging.sendEmail(lstEmails);
}
}
}
}
