  Hi,

  Write a plugin which fires on create of email. Before sending an email, Retrieve all the emails of contact and add them to addressused with ; seperated.

  If it did not work, Add them to partylist. It should work

  Thanks,

  Hi,

  You can do something like this

   var fields = new[] { "to", "cc", "bcc" };
              try
              {
                  var email = context.InputParameters["Target"] as Entity;
  
                  foreach (var field in fields)
                  {
                      if (email != null && email.Attributes.Contains(field))
                      {
                          var emailList = email.GetAttributeValue<EntityCollection>(field);
                          foreach (Entity e in emailList.Entities)
                          {
                              string[] entityDetails = GetEntityDetails(e, service);
                              if(entityDetails[0] != string.Empty)
                              {
                                  e.Attributes["addressused"] = entityDetails[0];
                              }
                              if (entityDetails[1] != string.Empty)
                              {
                                  e.Attributes["partyidname"] = entityDetails[1];
                              }                           
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }

  specify your email id and create few more objects to TO and send it.

  Lemme know if you still need assitnace.

  Hi Sreeni,

  Very nice of you to help me . :)

  I pretty much got lost by seeing the above code.  "P.S: I am still a newbie :)"
  

  Could you please explain me in an easy way  :(? Some people said that this could be achieved using Custom Workflow but i dont know how .

  Thanks :)

  Hi Sreekanth,

  U can achieve this using plugin or custom workflow.

  Follow the below link which explains how to send mail through plugin.

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh210217.aspx

  In the above blog you wont require the CreateRequiredRecords() and  DeleteRequiredRecords() methods.
  Rather you can get all your email field values using the code as suggested by  Sreeni and  set the TO, CC, BCC fileds in the newly created SendEmail object to send the mail.

  Hope this gives you a better idea. Let me know if you are facing any issues creating the plugin.

  Thanks,

  Prasad.
