Sending an email to a contractor's contact

This is an example of a script for sending an email via a built-in ELMA service from a business process to the contacts of the selected contractor.

context.Client - Client variable of the Contractor type

context.prop_att – Attachments variable of the Attachment type, with the List link type, allows attaching several files to an email.

context.Comment - Comment variable of the Text type

Include the following namespaces:

using System.Net;
 
using System.Net.Mail;
 
using System.Net.Mime;
 
using EleWise.ELMA.Messaging.Email;
 
using EleWise.ELMA.Services;
 
using System.Web.Mvc;
 
using Elewise.ELMA.CRM;

Script text:

string mailto;
  
var emailSender = Locator.GetService<EmailSender>();
  
//Attach files
  
var ft = new List<MailMessageFile>();
  
foreach (var newatt in context.prop_att.ToList())
  
{
  
    var ft2 = new MailMessageFile();
  
    ft2.FileBody = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(newatt.File.ContentFilePath);
  
    ft2.FileName = newatt.File.Name;
  
    ft.Add(ft2);
  
}
  
//get the client's contacts
  
var knt = context.Client.Contacts.ToList();
  
foreach (var i in knt)
  
{
  
    mailto = i.Email.First().ToString(); //get the email
  
    //Log in to the SMTP server
  
    if (mailto != null)
  
    {
  
        var smtp_st = new SmtpSettings("mail.elewise.com", 25, "login", "password"); //Specify mail server parameters and user login information
  
        var msg = new MailMessage("from@mail.com", mailto, "Message subject", "Message body"); //Generate the email, specify the sender address, the recepient address, message subject and body
  
        emailSender.SendMessage(smtp_st, msg, ft); // Send the email using the mail server parameters, specified in smtp_st
         
        //emailSender.SendMessage(msg, ft); // Send the email (can be used instead of line 43). In this case, the email sending settings will be taken from Administration – System Settings – Outgoing Mail Settings
                                          // If you use this method, comment the lines 39 and 43
  
    }
  
    else
      
    {
  
        context.Comment += "Contact email address" + i.Name + "  is not specified, the email was not sent\n";
  
    }
  
}

emailSender.SendMessage(smtp_st, msg, ft); // Send the email using the mail server parameters, specified in smtp_st

//emailSender.SendMessage(msg, ft); // Send the email (can be used instead of line 43). In this case, the email sending settings will be taken from Administration – System Settings – Outgoing Mail Settings
// If you use this method, comment the lines 39 and 43

}

else

{

context.Comment += "Contact email address" + i.Name + " is not specified, the email was not sent\n";
    }
}

You can also use SmtpSettings without authentication (if the mail server allows sending email without authentication). In this case, you specify only the server address and the port for sending messages:

var smtp_st = new SmtpSettings("mail.elewise.com", 25);
