Resolve Custom Email Form Template in FormItem Handler

Hi,

not currently at an installation so can't test quickly, but I believe you should actually resolve the resolver.

MacroResolver.Resolve("txt to resolve")

Hi,

You may use this code to resolve email template from your code.

   public static void SendEmail(string EmailTemplateCode, MacroResolver mcr, string recipients)
        {
            EmailMessage msg = new CMS.EmailEngine.EmailMessage();
            EmailTemplateInfo eti = EmailTemplateProvider.GetEmailTemplate(EmailTemplateCode, SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);
            msg.EmailFormat = EmailFormatEnum.Both;
            msg.From = eti.TemplateFrom;
            msg.Recipients = recipients;
            msg.Subject = eti.TemplateSubject;

            try
            {
                EmailSender.SendEmailWithTemplateText(SiteContext.CurrentSiteName, msg, eti, mcr, true);
                EventLogProvider.LogInformation("Email sent to " + recipients, "SendEmail", "Email Sent Successfully");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                EventLogProvider.LogException("Email failed " + recipients, "SendEmail", ex);

            }
        }

Here "EmailTemplateCode" is the name of the email template that you created.

This code was inspired from using this article

Hi David,

MacroResolver.Resolve("txt to resolve")

will resolve only the Global Macro I think as the form email template has macros related to that specific macro submission item so it wont get resolve fields properly, also the form email template has macro like $$label:fieldname$$, $$value:fieldname$$ how to resolve this macros.

To get the actual value from a field in the submitted form you can use this:

string lastName = e.Item.GetStringValue("LastName", "");

Where LastName is the actual field name in your form. If you want to get the other properties set for that particular form, you need to get the form object itself (not the item submitted) like so:

BizFormInfo bizForm = BizFormInfoProvider.GetBizFormInfo(e.Item.BizFormInfo.FormName, SiteContext.CurrentSite.SiteID);
string from = bizForm.FormSendFromEmail

Hi Brenden,

I already get those information out from BizFormInfo and BizFormItem but the main problem is resolve email template configured over there, But some how I apply find and replace to replace all labels and value in email template and its working now.

I struck with files uploaded with form submission need to attached to the email can you please help me on this. http://devnet.kentico.com/questions/get-files-from-bizform

Hi Vasanth,

Did the code that I send to you didn't work for you? This is how it is working. - I have an email template with placholder values in the Email templates directory. I will paste the email template below. - The field values in the Template and the object should match for it to replace. - You will create an object in your .NET code and call the right template in which you want to replace those values along with object. - SendEmailWithTemplate method will populate values in the template and will send email

Template Code under Email templates

 <div>Hello, {%FirstName%} {%LastName%}</div>
 <div>{%EmailAddress%}</div>

After fetching data froma form like Brenden suggested you may call this code to call MacroResolver

 // Send Email 
                    MacroResolver mcr = new MacroResolver();
                    // You need to fetch first_name & last_name using Brenden's code.
                    mcr.SetNamedSourceData("FirstName", first_name);
                    mcr.SetNamedSourceData("LastName", last_name);
                    mcr.SetNamedSourceData("EmailAddress", email_id);
                    // Call SendEmail method that I provided above using Email template name. Lets
                    // Say its name is "EmailToSend"
                    // EmailAddress is the emaill address to which you want to send email. Should
                    // be fetched dynamically
                    SendEmail("EmailToSend", mcr, EmailAddress);

I hope this helps.

Thanks, Chetan

Hi Chetan,

Actually I am not dealing with Default EmailTemplate, actually I am working on Send Email Notification feature in BizForm, in that section we have option for custom Email Template which is configure per Form basis, also the Macro used in that form template look like this $$label:fieldname$$, $$value:fieldname$$ there macro were not get resolved.

I had the same problem, resolved it by creating my own for loop to resolve the dollar signs:

    string templateWithDollarSigns = resolver.ResolveMacros(frm.FormEmailTemplate);
    foreach (string columnName in viewBiz.Data.ColumnNames)
    {
        templateWithDollarSigns = templateWithDollarSigns.Replace("$$label:" + columnName + "$$",                   columnName);

        if(templateWithDollarSigns.Contains("$$value:" + columnName + "$$"))
        {
            object value = -1;
            var x = viewBiz.Data.TryGetValue(columnName, out value); 
            templateWithDollarSigns = templateWithDollarSigns.Replace("$$value:" + columnName +                         "$$", value.ToString());
        }
    }

    msgNotification.Body = templateWithDollarSigns;
