I am working on the on service cloud so it is very important for our agents to send email from case and they always use it to send emails.

For that I have created email action and added this to chatter. Upto here it is fine. But, The agents wants to send the emails to Contacts. I have set the predefine values of "ToAddress" to this formula:

IF( Case.ContactEmail != Null, Case.ContactEmail, Case.SuppliedEmail ) 

But, I observed that salesforce takes the case.SuppliedEmail even if there is contact linked to Case.

Can you please suggest me workaround for this standard behaviour of salesforce.

Much Thank in Advance!!

To send the email from action, you don't need to define pre-defined 'ToAdress' field.

By default, it takes contact email id like this way.

  • I agree with you. It's true. But in my case the emails are coming from Email-To-Case and in this case the 'toAddress' is populated by the suppliedEmail. Looking forward for your thought. Dec 11, 2019 at 10:16

If you use the standard Email Action, You don't need to pre-define the value of ToAddress field whereas if you created a custom case object specific Email Action, You need to Pre-define the value of ToAddress field.

enter image description here

The below action will be automatically enabled when you enable email-to-case in the org. To Recipients field is already pre-defined.

Now coming to your question,The below formula works well for me.

 IF( Case.ContactEmail != Null, Case.ContactEmail, Case.SuppliedEmail ) 

See the screenshot below. It case detail has contact linked with it and it picked the contact email in the action.

whereas when i delete the contact from Case, It picks the web email as per formula.
