Sending email using templates by Kentico 5 CMS email engine API

First of all let's create new email template

Then let's add some content and placeholders to it

Now in our custom code we can add next method

		private void SendEmail()

		{

		   // let's get our email template

		 EmailTemplateInfo emailTemplate =

		                   EmailTemplateProvider.GetEmailTemplate

		                   ("MyModuleName.TestEmailTemplate",CMSContext.CurrentSiteName);

		 if (emailTemplate == null)

		 {

		     // TODO: Log error

		     // (check my post how to use Kentico Event log API)         

		 }

		  else

		  {

		    // set vars which we are going to use in email template

		    string firstName = "John";

		    string lastName = "Locke";

		    // replace email template placeholders with real values

		    string[,] replacements = new string[2, 2];

		    replacements[0, 0] = "firstname";

		    replacements[0, 1] = firstName;

		    replacements[1, 0] = "lastname";

		    replacements[1, 1] = lastName;

		    // Set resolver

		    ContextResolver resolver = CMSContext.CurrentResolver;

		    resolver.SourceParameters = replacements;

		    // Enable macro encoding for body

		    resolver.EncodeResolvedValues = true;

		    EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage();

		    string fromEmailAddress = "some@from-email.com";

		    string toEmailAddress = "some@to-email.com";

		    // you can set here which template to use html

		    // or plain text or default (which has been setup in Settings)

		    message.EmailFormat = EmailFormatEnum.Default;

		    message.From = EmailHelper.GetSender(emailTemplate, fromEmailAddress);

		    message.Recipients = toEmailAddress;

		    message.Subject = emailTemplate.TemplateSubject;

		    message.Body = resolver.ResolveMacros(emailTemplate.TemplateText);

		    // Disable macro encoding for plaintext body and subject

		    resolver.EncodeResolvedValues = false;                       

		    message.PlainTextBody = resolver.ResolveMacros(emailTemplate.TemplatePlainText);

		    message.CcRecipients = emailTemplate.TemplateCc;

		    message.BccRecipients = emailTemplate.TemplateBcc;

		   try

		   {

		     // Attach template meta-files to e-mail

		     MetaFileInfoProvider.ResolveMetaFileImages(message,

		                                                emailTemplate.TemplateID,

		                                               EmailObjectType.EMAILTEMPLATE,

		                                                  MetaFileInfoProvider.OBJECT_CATEGORY_TEMPLATE);

		     EmailSender.SendEmail(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, message);

		   }

		   catch

		   }

		      // TODO: Log error

		      // (check my post how to use Kentico Event log API)     

		   }

		 }

		}
