I have created a custom button on Opportunity. The custom button has following javascript code. When the user clicks on the button the email should be sent.I find no errors in the code. But I am not able to send any emails.

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")}
(function() {
sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
var message = new sforce.SingleEmailMessage();
message.replyTo = "varunreddypenna@gmail.com,varunrp@okstate.edu";
message.targetObjectId = "{!Opportunity.Id}";
message.templateId = "00Xj0000000J8sI";
var result = sforce.connection.sendEmail([message]);
  if(result[0].success) {
     alert("I sent the email as you requested, master.");
  } else {
     alert("I had a booboo.");
  }
}());

I ran this code and result is not quite what you think.

If you alert the whole result object, you get this:

{errors:{message:'Only Users, Contact, Lead or Person objects are allowed for targetObjectId : a0SK000000FtD7J.', statusCode:'INVALID_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION', targetObjectId:null, }, success:'false', }

Your code needs to look like this to actually work:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")}
(function() {
sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
var message = new sforce.SingleEmailMessage();
message.replyTo = "rapsac@gmail.com";
message.targetObjectId = "005K0000002butj";
message.templateId = "00XK0000000QsbW";
message.saveAsActivity = false;
var result = sforce.connection.sendEmail([message]);
  if(result[0].success == 'true') {
     alert("I sent the email as you requested, master.");
  } else {
     alert("I had a booboo.");
  }
alert(result);
}());

There were several other errors too - the key is to output the whole error in an alert so you can debug it.

As you can see, the targetObjectId is the user that the email is going to, not the object that the template refers to.

Also, saveAsActivity needs to be false to send to an internal user.

This is probably going to take quite a bit of work to get going, but hopefully you are now on the right track.

  • You did mention targetObjectid with a value. May I know what id value is that? I would like to do this any opportunity record. So in this I cannot mention each and every value in targetObjectid. So is there any way to do that. Thank you. Jun 5, 2015 at 1:24

  • So far the answer by @ralf callaway is the best work around I've seen: salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/1816/… - his example is in apex, but it's easily convertable to javascript Jun 5, 2015 at 1:34
