Send custom fields Data via Email

[crmnovice]

Hello,

We are able to utilize an after_save logic hook to send data fields via email successfully. This is accomplished using the following function which provides the entire main table (example: the “Contacts” table) fields to the PHP script:

function send_email(&$bean, $event, $arguments) {

Within the script we can then reference the user’s first name, by using the respective bean:

{$bean->first_name}";

However, this only works for the main table fields, and does not allow us to use fields found within the custom table (example: the “Contacts_cstm) table.

Does anyone know how to reference (use) fields from a custom table (*_cstm), when sending email messages (via logic hook)?

Thank you!

Hi,

I faced the problem before while all the custom fields data inside $bean/$focus will be unset after saving the record.
You may try to comments out the unset in modules/DynamicFields/DynamicField.php function save() and search for unset($this->bean->$name).
After comment out this line, you should able to retrieve custom fields data.

Thanks for your reply chinwoei. However that approach did not work for me.

Does anyone else know how how to send custom field values via email? We already have the logic hook working to send the email, and am trying to figure out how to include the value for a custom field (fieldname_c), within the email message.

Thank you!

Hi,

After save logic hook doesn't provide custom fields.

Try below code,

 $bean->custom_fields->retrieve(); 
$custom_field = $bean->CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME;
