Email the contact roles of a deal using Functions
Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to tackle all of the challenges and opportunities that the new year brings.
In the previous post, we discussed the Contact Roles APIs in Zoho CRM. Today, we will show you how you can send emails to all the contact roles associated with a Deal, using a custom function.
Function to email all contact roles of a Deal
The Contact Roles related list allows you to link multiple contacts to a single deal and specify their role in the deal. Often you may want to send emails to all the contacts associated with a deal in certain situations. For example, you may want to update all the contacts on the status of the deal, invite all the contacts to a webinar or event related to the deal, or send an important update about the deal. By using a custom function, you can easily send emails to all the contact roles associated with a deal.
Create and execute the Function
Step 1: Go to Setup > Automation > Actions > Functions.
Step 2: Click Configure Function.
Step 3: Click Write your own.
Step 4: Enter the following details :
Function Name
Display Name
Description
Choose the function category as Leads.
Step 5: Copy and paste the following code in the editor :
relatedcontroles = zoho.crm.getRelatedRecords("Contact_Roles","Deals",input.dealId.toLong()); salutation = "<p>Hello!!<br /><br /></p>"; signature = "<br /><br /><p>Best Regards,<br />Patricia Boyle</p>"; sub = input.emailSubject.toString(); str = input.emailContent.toString(); str = concat(salutation,str); str = concat(str,signature); for each role in relatedcontroles { emailAddress = role.get("Email"); info emailAddress; sendmail [ from :zoho.adminuserid to :emailAddress subject :sub message :str ] } |
Step 6: Click on Edit Arguments and add the following and then click Save.
Step 7: Click on Save and Execute.
Enter the deal ID, email subject, and content, and click Save to send emails to all the contact roles associated with the corresponding deal.
Function to Email specific contact roles of a Deal with email template
There may be times when you want to send emails to only selected contact roles of a deal. For example, when you want to discuss or update the financial aspects of the deal, or if you are discussing the budget for the deal and want to discuss cost-saving benefits, you might want to send emails only to the finance team of the prospective organization. Or, when you are reviewing legal or compliance considerations, or negotiating the terms of the deal, you might want to send an email only to the legal team to discuss these considerations. You can use an email template defined in your account to send the emails instead of drafting the entire content again in the functions.. You can achieve this by using a custom function as well.
Create and execute the Function
Create the connector
Step 1: Go to Setup > Developer Space > Connections.
Step 2: Click Create Connection.
Step 3: Pick the Zoho OAuth service.
Step 4: Specify the Connection details : Connection Name and Connection Link Name.
Step 5: Choose the following scopes :
ZohoCRM.templates.email.READ
ZohoCRM.modules.All
Step 6: Click Create and Connect and authenticate your connection.
After creating and authenticating your connection, complete the following steps:

Step 7: Replace the connection_name with the name of your connector.
