Send Email in SharePoint Hosted App without using VS workflow

0
votes

I have created a SharePoint Hosted app which uses a visual studio workflow to send email within same domain.

Since I am in process of migrating custom aspx forms in SP2010 to SharePoint Online, each form is redeveloped as a SP Hosted app and I don't want to include a workflow every time to send email.

Is there any other workaround to handle email in SP Hosted app?

Thanks!

You can use javascript REST API to send email from hosted app. See the code below:

var urlTemplate = SPAppWebUrl + "/_api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail";
$.ajax({
    contentType: 'application/json',
    url: urlTemplate,
    type: "POST",
    data: JSON.stringify({
        'properties': {
            '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Utilities.EmailProperties' },
            'From': from,
            'To': { 'results': [to] },
            'Body': emailBody,
            'Subject': subject
        }
    }
  ),
    headers: {
        "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
        "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
        "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
    },
    success: function (data) {
        //console.log('success')
        alert('email send successfull..');
    },
    error: function (err) {
        //console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
        alert(JSON.stringify(err));
    }
});
