Is it possible to access LetterHead in apex.I need to put the letter head in sethtmlbody method.How to access LetterHead.

UPDATED

Here the bt.value is displaying blank when contact is receiving an email but when I debug the value of bt.value it is showing some html code in it

         BrandTemplate bt = [select id,Value from BrandTemplate where name='Standard Letterhead' limit 1]; 
         Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
         String[] toAddresses = new String[] {Contact_Email__c}; 
         mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
         mail.setSenderDisplayName('Support');
         mail.setSubject('Invoice');
         mail.setBccSender(false); 
         mail.setUseSignature(false);
         String messageBody = '<html>'+ bt.Value + '<body>'+ '<p>Dear '+ o.Contact__r.Name + ': </p>'+'Some TEXT'
         mail.setHtmlBody(messageBody)          
         Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });

  • is there a reason why you are avoiding template? are you trying to construct your template dynamically? I am not seeing the letter head images show up on my email too. I tried to make the images available publicly, loaded into a document. No luck yet!!!

https://www.salesforce.com/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_brandtemplate.htm

BrandTemplate bt = [select id from BrandTemplate where name='Blank' limit 1];

Update:

A letter head goes in conjunction with HTML Email template. So to access letterhead from email template query 

emailtemplate et = [select BrandTemplateId from emailtemplate where brandtemplateId.name='Blank' limit 1];
system.debug('## Email template's letter head :'+ et.brandtemplateId);

To answer the second part of your question I need to put the letter head in sethtmlbody method.How to access LetterHead.

AFAIK you cannot do this when you try to use together

mail.sethtmlbody();
mail.settemplateid();

you will get get an error

System.EmailException: SendEmail failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INVALID_FIELD_WHEN_USING_TEMPLATE, When a template is specified the plain text body, html body, subject and charset may not be specified : []

  • As long as you're not using merge fields in the email template, you can probably bring your BrandTemplate and EmailTemplate together in code using just sethtmlbody() and String.replace() to shove the EmailTemplate into the correct location in the BrandTemplate.
