Earlier when we had an Email Template created for any entity, we used to follow the below four steps to send an email using Template:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Retrieve the Email Template and get the Template Id<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Instantiate the template using InstantiateTemplate request and get the Response<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Create the Email in CRM using IOrganizationService object or OrganizationServiceContext object<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Execute Send Email Request to Send the Email<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But recently while working with sending emails, we came across \u201cSendEmailFromTemplateRequest\u201d<\/strong> request which can be used to directly send emails using email templates by following the below steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Retrieve the Email Template and get the Template Id<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Create an Email object in the code, don\u2019t create in CRM using any service<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. Simply execute <\/strong>SendEmailFromTemplateRequest<\/strong> request passing the parameters required<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0Note: This approach can be used if you don\u2019t want to edit the Email body or subject of an email using the Template.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Below is the code snippet in C# which you can use for reference:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
