Logic hook - send email

[jmfernandes]

Hi,

I've being seing lots of discussions at the forum regarding a logic hook to send emails after_save. I've tried some codes however always got error messages from sugar. Than I came up with the following code, and didnt get any error messages, however nothing happened either (or I didnt receive the test email).

Logic hook code (in my module's logic_hook.php)

$hook_array['before_save'] = array();
		$hook_array['before_save'][] = array(1, 'notify_user', 'custom/modules/custom_module/notify_user.php', 'notify_user', 'notify_user');

in my notify_user.php

<?php

	if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

	class notify_user{

		function notify_user(&$bean, $event, $arguments){
require_once("include/SugarPHPMailer.php"); 
$note_msg=new SugarPHPMailer(); 
            $admin = new Administration(); 
             $admin->retrieveSettings(); 

			
            $note_msg->Subject = 'Note: ' . $bean->name; 
            $note_msg->prepForOutbound(); 
            $note_msg->setMailerForSystem(); 
            $note_msg->Body = $bean->description; 
            $note_msg->From     = $admin->settings['notify_fromaddress']; 
            $note_msg->FromName = $admin->settings['notify_fromname'];  
                   
            $note_msg->To = 'email@company.com';
if (!$note_msg->Send()) 

			{
										$GLOBALS['log']->info("Could not send case closed notification:  " . $mail->ErrorInfo);
				
			}
		}
	}

?>

Can anyone tell me why my test code is not working and help me to personalize the code to:
1) Send email to a specific user after a new record is created
2) Send email to assignee user after the record is modified

tks

Hello,

Change line from

 $note_msg->To = 'email@company.com'; 
  

to

 $note_msg->AddAddress('EMAIL_ADDRESS');

Tks David it worked fine !

Do you know how do I do to personalize this code to :
1) Send email only when the record is created
2) Send this email only when the record is modified, I have to send this modification note to the assigned user.

Tks a lot for helping !!!

Hello,

Sugar provides a facility to send notification to assigned user. Admin > Email Settings > Send notification on assignment. Which means, when you create a new record Sugar sends a notification.

Now you want to send email when it is modified. You can write before_save logic hook and check if $bean->id is not null (which means it is getting modified) and so you send email again.

Hello everyone,

I have quite a big issue with sending email through logic_hooks.
I'm currently using SugarCRM 6.1.3 , in a Windows 7 OS.

What i need to do is to send a calendar entry by email, to my attendies, so that they can use this email to create the entry in their Outlook, Zimbra, iCal or Gmail calendars.
In the following example i am just trying to send it to one email address.

I created a logic_hook before_save in ../custom/modules/Meetings/logic_hooks.php

 <?php
// Do not store anything in this file that is not part of the array or the hook version.  This file will    
// be automatically rebuilt in the future. 
$hook_version = 1; 
$hook_array = Array(); 
// position, file, function 
$hook_array['before_save'] = Array(); 
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'meeting invitation', 'custom/modules/Meetings/sendEmailMeeting.php','SendMail', 'createMail'); 
?>  

And here is the file ../custom/modules/Meetings/sendEmailMeeting.php:

 <?php 
 
class SendMail {
   
    function createMail($bean, $event, $arguments){
    
    require_once("include/SugarPHPMailer.php");
    
    $location= $this->bean->location;
 
    $headers = "From: SugarCRM <myaddress@mycompany.com>\n";
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: text/calendar; method=REQUEST;\n";
    $headers .= '        charset="UTF-8"';
    $headers .= "\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
 
    $subject = $this->bean->name;
    $subject = html_entity_decode($subject, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
    
    $message= "BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION:2.0
    CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
    METHOD:REQUEST
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    DTSTART:20110616T080000Z   
    DTEND:20110616T090000Z
    DTSTAMP:20110616T075116Z
    ORGANIZER;CN=SugarCRM:mailto:some.body@mycomp.com
    UID:1
    ATTENDEE;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP= TRUE;CN=Sample:mailto:sample@test.com
    DESCRIPTION:Complete event on http://www.sample.com/get_event.php?id=1
    LOCATION: $location
    SEQUENCE:0
    STATUS:CONFIRMED
    SUMMARY:Test iCalendar
    TRANSP:OPAQUE
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR";
    
    
    mail("mytarget@somecompany.com", $subject, $message, $headers);  
    
    
    }
}
?>  

Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks in advance!
