Send E-mail by setting Multiple user in 'To' in CRM 2011 Plugin

Question

Hello Experts,

I have done some Plugin code ,but in that the requirement is like to send the same mail to multiple users of particular security roles.

I have successfully fetched users , now i want to send a single mail to those users.

private void EmailUser(IOrganizationService service, EntityCollection _toUserId, Guid _fromUserId)
        {
            Entity email = new Entity("email");
            email.Attributes.Add("subject", "New Region has been Created.");
            email.Attributes.Add("description", "Create Business Units.");

            EntityReference from = new EntityReference("systemuser", _fromUserId);

            //EntityReference to = new EntityReference("systemuser", _toUserId);

            Entity toParty = new Entity("activityparty");
            for (int i = 0; i < _toUserId.Entities.Count; i++)
            {
                if (_toUserId[i] != null && _toUserId[i].Id != null)
                {

                    toParty.Attributes.Add(_toUserId[i].LogicalName, _toUserId[i].Id);

                    //EmailUser(localContext.OrganizationService, toUsers[i].Id, fromUser[0].Id);
                }
            }

            Entity fromParty = new Entity("activityparty");
            fromParty.Attributes.Add("partyid", from);

            //Entity toParty = new Entity("activityparty");
            //toParty.Attributes.Add("partyid", to);


            EntityCollection frmPartyCln = new EntityCollection();
            frmPartyCln.EntityName = "systemuser";
            frmPartyCln.Entities.Add(fromParty);

            EntityCollection toPartyCln = new EntityCollection();
            toPartyCln.EntityName = "systemuser";
            toPartyCln.Entities.Add(toParty);

            email.Attributes.Add("from", frmPartyCln);
            email.Attributes.Add("to", toPartyCln);

            //Create an EMail Record
            Guid _emailId = service.Create(email);

            // Use the SendEmail message to send an e-mail message.
            SendEmailRequest sendEmailreq = new SendEmailRequest
            {
                EmailId = _emailId,
                TrackingToken = "",
                IssueSend = true
            };

            SendEmailResponse sendEmailresp = (SendEmailResponse)service.Execute(sendEmailreq);
        }

What should i change in my above code. ?>

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

You can add multiple user to your ToParty object.

 EntityCollection to = new EntityCollection();
                string[] ids = null;
                ids = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ids"].ToString().Split(',');
                foreach (string id in ids)
                {
                    Entity toActivityparty = new Entity("activityparty");
                    toActivityparty["partyid"] = new EntityReference("systemuser", new Guid(id));
                    to.Entities.Add(ccActivityparty);
                }
                emailEntity["to"] = to;

Hi,

Find below the full code snippet for sending emails to multiple users.

                EntityCollection entCollectionAsActivityPartyOfUsers = new EntityCollection();

                //Loop To Itearate Number Of Fetched Users
                //Change the loop according to your logic
                foreach (string userId in useridList)
                {
		   //Query each user to check if the email address is present or not. If you will not check then it will fail while sending
                    QueryExpression retrieveQuery = new QueryExpression("systemuser");
                    retrieveQuery.ColumnSet.AddColumn("internalemailaddress");
                    retrieveQuery.Criteria.AddCondition("systemuserid", ConditionOperator.Equal, new Guid(userId));
                    EntityCollection collUsers = service.RetrieveMultiple(retrieveQuery);
					
                    if (collUsers.Entities.Count > 0)
                    {
                        if (collUsers.Entities[0].Contains("internalemailaddress") && collUsers.Entities[0]["internalemailaddress"] != null)
                        {
                            //Creating Activity Party
                            Entity toParty = new Entity("activityparty");
                            toParty["partyid"] = new EntityReference(strEntUser, new Guid(userId));
                            entCollectionAsActivityPartyOfUsers.Entities.Add(toParty);
                        }
                    }
                }

                if (entCollectionAsActivityPartyOfUsers.Entities.Count > 0)
                {
                    //Creating Email Object
                    Entity email = new Entity();
                    email.LogicalName = "email";
                    email[strEmailSubject] = "Subject";
                   
                    //Setting FROM In The Email Object
                    Entity fromParty = new Entity("activityparty");
                    fromParty["partyid"] = configOwner;

                    //Setting TO In The Email Object
                    email[strEmailTo] = entCollectionAsActivityPartyOfUsers;
                    email[strEmailFrom] = new Entity[] { fromParty };

                    Guid emailID = service.Create(email);
					
                    if (emailID != null)
                    {
                        SendEmailRequest req = new SendEmailRequest();
                        req.EmailId = emailID;
                        req.IssueSend = true;
                        req.TrackingToken = "";

                        SendEmailResponse res = (SendEmailResponse)service.Execute(req);
                    }
                }
