Yardi Store Developer eXchange

Sends an email via eStore requesting a contact from the site manager. The organization can create custom templates, but this method does not currently support them.

Returned Parameters

Example

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We do this with the LookupUser request object.

We will assume you have a web reference, let us name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project. At this point we need to define our objects.  We will need the standard service object, a SendEmailContact request object, and a SendEmail response object. We can define and create those like this:

 // Create a request and response objects SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient(); SWS.SendEmailContact_Request request = new SWS.SendEmailContact_Request(); SWS.SendEmail_Response response;

Here is a sample code of the request object:

// SendEmailContact Request
request.OrgID = 123456;
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.Email = "j.doe@a.c";
request.EmailType = SWS.emailMsgTemplateIds.SWS_CONTACT_SITE;
request.Name = "John Doe";
request.Telephone = "800-555-1212";
request.UnitNumber = "A1";
request.Message = "I have a question about a letter I received from you.";

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to retrieve our requested information. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

// Call the method that will load the response object
try
{
  response = service.SendEmailContact(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You will want to capture the message in the exception so it can be debugged.
