    Umbraco Forms - Editing Email Template

    Hi,

    Trying and failing to edit the default email view in Umbraco Forms in the standard "Send email" workflow.

    I'm aware that there is a workflow to send via Razor but it doesn't allow editors to add a message from the CMS like "Send email" does.

    So, two options

    1. How do I edit the template used in the "Send email" workflow type?
    2. Is it possible to add a new field to the "Send email with template (Razor)" workflow type?

    Thanks,

    Ben

    Done quite a lot more digging and hidden away on the documentation page is this beauty:

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Developer/Extending/Adding-a-Type#overriding-default-providers-in-umbraco-forms

    So for anyone else who happens to have the same issue, you can override/extend existing workflow types. Here's some sample code to show you how I did it (beware of the session "hack" - it's the only way I could find out how to pass data to the view, not ideal but it does work).

    Workflow Definition:

    using System.Web;
    using Umbraco.Core;
    using Umbraco.Forms.Core;
    using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes;
    using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Data.Storage;
    using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Enums;
    using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Persistence.Dtos;
    using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Services;
    using Umbraco.Web;
    
    namespace Example.Core.WorkflowTypes
    {
        public class SendRazorEmailWorkflowType : Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers.WorkflowTypes.SendRazorEmail
        {
            #region Constructors
    
            public SendRazorEmailWorkflowType(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor, IFieldTypeStorage fieldTypeStorage, IFormStorage formStorage, IUmbracoContextAccessor umbracoContextAccessor, IPageService pageService, IWorkflowEmailService workflowEmailService)
                : base(httpContextAccessor, fieldTypeStorage, formStorage, umbracoContextAccessor, pageService, workflowEmailService)
            {
    
            }
    
            #endregion
    
            #region Settings
    
            [Setting("Email Introduction", Description = "Displayed before the records in the email body.", View = "TextArea")]
            public string EmailIntroduction { get; set; }
    
            [Setting("Email Body", Description = "Displayed after the introduction.", View = "TextArea")]
            public string EmailBody { get; set; }
    
            [Setting("Email Records Text", Description = "Displayed before the records are shown.", View = "TextArea")]
            public string EmailRecordsText { get; set; }
    
            [Setting("Email Outro", Description = "Displayed after the email body.", View = "TextArea")]
            public string EmailOutro { get; set; }
    
            [Setting("Email Link URL", Description = "Optional link, if set, a button will be displayed in the email.", View = "TextString")]
            public string EmailLinkUrl { get; set; }
    
            [Setting("Email Link Title", Description = "Optional link title, if the Email Link URL is set, this text will be used on the button.", View = "TextString")]
            public string EmailLinkTitle { get; set; } = "Learn more";
    
            [Setting("Show Records in Email", Description = "If enabled, the email will display the fields submitted.", View = "Checkbox")]
            public string ShowRecordsInEmail { get; set; }
    
            #endregion
    
            public override WorkflowExecutionStatus Execute(Record record, RecordEventArgs e)
            {
                HttpContext.Current.Session["emailIntroduction"] = EmailIntroduction;
                HttpContext.Current.Session["emailBody"] = EmailBody;
                HttpContext.Current.Session["emailRecordsText"] = EmailRecordsText;
                HttpContext.Current.Session["emailOutro"] = EmailOutro;
                HttpContext.Current.Session["emailLinkUrl"] = EmailLinkUrl;
                HttpContext.Current.Session["emailLinkTitle"] = EmailLinkTitle;
                HttpContext.Current.Session["showRecordsInEmail"] = ShowRecordsInEmail;
    
                if (EmailLinkTitle.IsNullOrWhiteSpace())
                {
                    HttpContext.Current.Session["emailLinkTitle"] = "Read more";
                }
    
                return base.Execute(record, e);
            }
        }
    }
    

    View/Razor File (I've only included how to retrieve the data here, but you can use these variables however you want from there on out):

    @inherits UmbracoViewPage<Umbraco.Forms.Core.Models.FormsHtmlModel>
    
    @{
        //This is an example email template where you can use Razor Views to send HTML emails
    
        //You can use Umbraco.TypedContent & Umbraco.TypedMedia etc to use Images & content from your site
        //directly in your email templates too
    
        //Strongly Typed
        //@Model.GetValue("aliasFormField")
        //@foreach (var color in Model.GetValues("checkboxField")){}
    
        //Dynamics
        //@Model.DynamicFields.aliasFormField
        //@foreach(var color in Model.DynamicFields.checkboxField
    
        //Images need to be absolute - so fetching domain to prefix with images
        var siteDomain = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
        var assetUrl = siteDomain + "/assets/images";
    
        var emailIntroduction = HttpContext.Current.Session["emailIntroduction"];
        var emailBody = HttpContext.Current.Session["emailBody"];
        var emailRecordsText = HttpContext.Current.Session["emailRecordsText"];
        var emailOutro = HttpContext.Current.Session["emailOutro"];
        var emailLinkUrl = HttpContext.Current.Session["emailLinkUrl"];
        var emailLinkTitle = HttpContext.Current.Session["emailLinkTitle"];
        var showRecordsInEmail = HttpContext.Current.Session["showRecordsInEmail"];
    }
    

    Thanks,

    Ben
