In this blog, we‘ll go through all the steps to learn how to send an email with an attachment.

To achieve this, follow the steps given below:

1-First and foremost, the user should enable the entity in order to be seen by the project

2-Create View and form

3-Activate the multi-select button:

In the view, click the MutltiSelect button then you can use pre-defined functions or create a custom command.

3-JavaScript Bridge Code :

you can follow this approach. In our case, we used three functions :

a-Loads the file as base64 string

function loadFileDocumentBody(fileId,fileName){
MobileCRM.DynamicEntity.loadDocumentBody("sf_files",fileId,
function (base64str) {
//To do Work
}, MobileCRM.bridge.alert, null);
}

b- Write the file in the local application folder

MobileCRM.Application.writeFileFromBase64(“Test.pdf”, base64str, function () {}, MobileCRM.bridge.alert);
//base64str = the file body converted in basestring

c-Send Email with attachments

function(attachments: Array<string>) {MobileCRM.Platform.emailWithAttachments( entity.properties.email ??“”,
“Sales Literature”,“ “,
attachments,null, null,
function(errorMsg) {onError(“Email: “, errorMsg);}, null);}

3-Compile typescript code and Upload the Javascript code file as shown below.

4-Then, we added an ‘HTML’ file (with ‘JavaScript’ code) in the “Iframe” of Entity Form of the entity.
Please refer to the below screenshot:

Notes:
In order to send the Email from Resco Mobile App, we need to configure ‘Online Exchange’ (i.e. Outlook) in the Resco Mobile Project.

While using ‘Offline Mode’, we need to sync the Resco Mobile App after clicking the ‘Send’ button in order to send an email to the recipient.

For the files storage , They will not get clean unless you uninstall the application. It is a good practice to always use the same file so it will get overwritten each time you use the app or you can delete the file each time directly.

Conclusion

By following these steps you‘ll be able to send emails with documents as attachments through Resco Mobile App.
