Notification Service and Message Template

Posted by Community Admin on 14-Feb-2013 00:00

Hi there,

I'm trying to send out notifications to particular mailing lists. I have created a message template to be used as the content of the mailing list as follows:

var ns = SystemManager.GetNotificationService();

var MessageTemplate = NewslettersManager.GetManager().GetMessageBodies().Where(mB => mB.IsTemplate == true && mB.Name == "MyTemplateName").FirstOrDefault();

IMessageJobRequest job = new MessageJobRequestProxy()

                            MessageTemplateId = MessageTemplate.Id,
                            Subscribers = subscribers,
                            SenderProfileName = "profileName"
                        ;
var messageJobId = ns.SendMessage(context, job, null);

An exception is currently being thrown on SendMessage. The exception is: You are trying to access item that no longer exists. The most probable reason is that it has been deleted by another user.

The template actually exists, I have confirmed. However, if I change the way I declare the job as follows (to not use a message template but instead create one inline, all works fine (i receive the notification).

IMessageTemplateRequest tmpl = new MessageTemplateRequestProxy()

                            Subject = "Test",
                            BodyHtml = "HELLO"
                        ;

IMessageJobRequest job = new MessageJobRequestProxy()

                            MessageTemplate = tmpl,
                            Subscribers = subscribers,
                            SenderProfileName = profileName
                        ;

var messageJobId = ns.SendMessage(context, job, null);

Can anybody shed light on this issue? I would really prefer to be able provide MessageTemplateID (created in the UI) as opposed to manually creating the content (template) through code.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm trying to work with Notification Services without success. I setup smtp settings under Setting>Advanced>System>SMTP and Setting>Advanced>Notifications. The code runs without errors. Records are inserted into the table [sf_notif_cmplt_msg_job] but no mail are sent.

Can someone help me?

This is the code:

void SendReminder(string email, string firstName, string lastName, string reminderName, string surgeryName)

var ns = SystemManager.GetNotificationService();

var context = new ServiceContext("system", "NotificationService");

var contextDictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();

contextDictionary.Add("VisitReminder.ReminderName", reminderName);

contextDictionary.Add("VisitReminder.SurgeryName", surgeryName);

List<ISubscriberRequest> subscribers = new List<ISubscriberRequest>();

var subscriber1 = new SubscriberRequestProxy()

Email = email,

FirstName = firstName,

LastName = lastName,

ResolveKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "-" + email

;

subscribers.Add(subscriber1);

//Name of an existing profile

var profileName = "Default";

NewslettersManager manager = NewslettersManager.GetManager();

var messageSubject = manager.GetMessageBodies().Where(m => m.Name.Equals("ReminderSubject") && m.IsTemplate).FirstOrDefault();

var messageBody = manager.GetMessageBodies().Where(m => m.Name.Equals("ReminderBodyEmail") && m.IsTemplate).FirstOrDefault();

if (messageSubject != null && messageBody != null)

var subjectTemplate = messageSubject.BodyText;

var bodyTemplate = messageBody.BodyText;

var tmpl = new MessageTemplateRequestProxy() Subject = subjectTemplate, BodyHtml = bodyTemplate ;

var job = new MessageJobRequestProxy()

MessageTemplate = tmpl,

Subscribers = subscribers,

SenderProfileName = profileName

;

var messageJobId = ns.SendMessage(context, job, contextDictionary);
