Message Availability

For this message to work, the caller must be connected to the server.

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute method, which returns an instance of SendEmailFromTemplateResponse.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the Email entity and access rights on the records specified in the Target, RegardingId and TemplateId properties. For a complete list of the privileges required, see SendEmailFromTemplate message privileges.

Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.



// Create the 'From:' activity party for the email
ActivityParty fromParty = new ActivityParty
