How do I send email notifications to participants? (legacy)

Updated on

This functionality can be accomplished in multiple ways. The following example could be used from a Trigger on the Matter object.  In the example provided below, a trigger fires on the Matter update. This code example sends a Matter Status of "Appeal" and sends Email Notifications to all Staff and Contact Participant record types with a Participant Role of XYZ Contact.

trigger MatterTrigger on advpm__Matter__c (after update) 
{
  set<Id> matterIDs = new set<Id>();
  for (advpm__Matter__c m : (list<advpm__Matter__c>) trigger.new)
  {
     // when Matter is updated and Status is 'In Appeal'.
     if (m.advpm__Status__c == 'In Appeal')
        matterIDs.add( m.Id );  }
  if ( !matterIDs.isEmpty() )
  {
     list<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mailingList;
     mailingList = new list<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
     // retrieve list of Participants in role 'XYZ Contact' 
     // and where RecordType is either 'Staff' OR 'Contact'
     advpm__Participant__c[] pList = [select Id, advpm__Matter__c, advpm__Matter__r.Name, 
                              advpm__Matter__r.advpm__Matter_Number__c, advpm__Staff__c, 
                              advpm__Staff__r.Email, advpm__Contact__c, advpm__Contact__r.Email 
                              from advpm__Participant__c where advpm__Matter__c IN: matterIDs 
                              and advpm__Role__c = 'XYZ Contact' 
                              and RecordType.Name IN ('User', 'Contact')];
     for (advpm__Participant__c p : pList)
     {
        if (p.advpm__Staff__c != null)
        {
           Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail;
           mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
           mail.setToAddresses( new String[] { p.advpm__Staff__r.Email } );
           mail.setBccSender( false );
           mail.setUseSignature( false );
           mail.setSaveAsActivity( true );
           mail.setWhatId( p.advpm__Matter__c );
            
           mail.setSubject(p.advpm__Matter__r.Name + ' has been update.');
            
           //prepare Email body with Matter details. Fetch Matter fields in 
           //Participants database query above first before using them here.
           string body = '';
           body += 'Matter: '+p.advpm__Matter__r.Name+' - ';
           body += p.advpm__Matter__r.advpm__Matter_Number__c+'<br /><br />';
           body += '<br /><br />';
           body += 'Sincerely,<br /><br />';
           body += UserInfo.getName()+'<br />';
           body += UserInfo.getOrganizationName()+'<br />';
           
           mail.setHtmlBody( body );
            
           mailingList.add( mail );
       }
       // check if Contact has an email address
       if (p.advpm__Contact__c != null && p.advpm__Contact__r.Email != null) 
       {
           Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail;
           mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
           mail.setToAddresses( new String[] { p.advpm__Contact__r.Email } );
           mail.setBccSender( false );
           mail.setUseSignature( false );
           mail.setSaveAsActivity( true );
           mail.setWhatId( p.advpm__Matter__c );
           mail.setTargetObjectId( p.advpm__Contact__c );
            
           mail.setSubject(p.advpm__Matter__r.Name + ' has been update.');
            
           //prepare Email body with Matter details. Fetch Matter fields in 
           //Participants database query above first before using them here.
           string body = '';
           body += 'Matter: '+p.advpm__Matter__r.Name+' - ';
           body += p.advpm__Matter__r.advpm__Matter_Number__c+'<br /><br />';
           body += '<br /><br />';
           body += 'Sincerely,<br /><br />';
           body += UserInfo.getName()+'<br />';
           body += UserInfo.getOrganizationName()+'<br />';
            
           mail.setHtmlBody( body );
            
           mailingList.add( mail );
        }
    }
    if (!mailingList.isEmpty()) {
        Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results = Messaging.sendEmail(mailingList, false);
