We have created custom button based on visual force and apex code where i have using the vf email template. If we use plain text body then receiving the email but if we are using the template then receiving empty email.

VF page

<apex:page standardController="Contract_Standards__c" extensions="SendEmailPageController" action="{!send}">

</apex:page>

Apex controller

public class SendEmailPageController {

public String conId {get;set;}

public SendEmailPageController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

    conId=ApexPages.currentpage().getParameters().get('id');
    system.debug(conId);

}
public PageReference send()
{ 

EmailTemplate templateId = [Select id from EmailTemplate where name = 'AS CS Sales User Manual notification template'];  
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
mail.setTemplateId(templateId.id);
//String[] toAddresses = new String[] {'admin@chiper.com'};
//mail.setWhatId(conId);
mail.setTargetObjectId('00515000006c1Q0');
   // mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
      mail.setBccSender(false);
      mail.setSubject('Subject');
      mail.setSaveAsActivity(false); 
 // mail.setHtmlBody('Please find the attachment');
     // mail.setPlainTextBody('Test Message Body');'00Xq0000000QuVkEAK'
    Messaging.SendEmailResult [] r = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {mail});
     return null;

    } 

 }

@Reddy, I fixed a similar issue few days ago. Remove

mail.setSubject('Subject');

from your code. I think once you provide the code with some part of mail(like subject, body) then it ignores the template.

  • I follow apex dev guide and sometimes google for help and look at the API calls specifically.

    @Reddy, All the merge fields must be present on the templates. From the code, you should set the templateID and setWhatId(WhatId) -- This will set the context for those merge fields on the template. setTargetObjectId(ctId) --This will set the context for the toaddress(email to which the mail has to be sent)Hope this helps.
