My case is i want to send email with attachment in custom object using single email message using HTML Email Template (with letterhead).

Current condition i successed to make the email same like email template (HTML body) by using these methods:

email.setToAddresses(emailResults);
email.setTargetObjectId('0055D000001DHyJ'); //user id
email.setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(false);
email.setTemplateId(tem.Id);

But the problem is, fields in email template become blank. For Example:

Email template

Dear {!Invoice__c.Customer},

Result

Dear ,

I also try use .replace but it make email body become blank.

Is there any solution or workaround for this case?

  • Is the setTargetObjectId being set to a User or Contact or Lead ?

  • Hi, its working now. I post the code at 2nd answer below. So for custom object you should put setTargetObjectId as ContactId

I am not sure exactly what your goal is and the blog post is very confusing to me.

What I understand is: {!Invoice__c.Customer} needs to be filled in the result.

For this case, the WhatId should be of Type Invoice__c and you should be using the appropriate template methods:

email.setToAddresses(emailResults); email.setTargetObjectId('0a3xxxxxx'); //<= user / recipient id email.setWhatId('0a3xxxxxx'); // <= Invoice Id email.setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(false); email.setTemplateId(tem.Id);

setWhatId(WhatI)

If you specify a contact for the targetObjectId field, you can specify an optional whatId as well. This helps to further ensure that merge fields in the template contain the correct data.

  • Hi, thanks for your respond. I try to replace using Invoice ID in setTargetObjectId but it give error message "SendEmail failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INVALID_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION, Only User, Contact, Lead, or Person objects are allowed for targetObjectId: a045D000009HDVm.: [targetObjectId, a045D000009HDVmQAO]"

email.setToAddresses(emailResults);
 email.setTargetObjectId('0035D00000Rc4bU'); //contact id (you can do soql)
 email.setWhatId(d.id); // custom object id
 email.setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(false);
 email.setTemplateId(tem.Id);
