Automate Email
 

I'm running Outlook 2003 on Exchange 2003 server.
I would like to schedule an automated email that will be send out to the
same recipients with the same msg everyday from Mon-Fri in the morning. All
I have so far is the following code. How do I tell Outlook to do this
automatically every morning?
Attribute VB_Name = "Module1"

Option Explicit


Sub SendMail()


Dim olApp As Outlook.Application

Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem

Dim blRunning As Boolean


'get application

blRunning = True

On Error Resume Next

Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

If olApp Is Nothing Then

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application

blRunning = False

End If

On Error GoTo 0


Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With olMail

'Specify the email subject

..Subject = "Pick up the Mail"

'Specify who it should be sent to

'Repeat this line to add further recipients

..Recipients.Add

..Body = "This is today's pick up mail reminder."

'Choose which of the following 2 lines to have commented out

..Display 'This will display the message for you to check and send yourself

'.Send ' This will send the message straight away

End With


If Not blRunning Then olApp.Quit


Set olApp = Nothing

Set olMail = Nothing


End Sub

wFor starters, you couldn't automate this from an external .exe or script
that starts Oultook and creates an e-mail message, as that's not supported.

The Outlook Object Model is unsuitable to run in a Windows service:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;237913

A server-side solution is best, but that involves creating an Exchange Event
Sink and is very advanced.

The best option is to create a recurring task and write VBA to trap the
Reminder event to check that it is your defined task, then run your code to
create and send an e-mail.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your reply.
I do have a generic code that will send an email on all task reminder event
notifications.
But how do I change it so it traps an event with the subject line: "Pick Up
Mail" ?

Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim objMsg As MailItem
' create new outgoing message
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
' your reminder notification address
objMsg.To = "
objMsg.CC = "
objMsg.Subject = "Reminder: " & Item.Subject
' handle task items that generate reminders
Select Case Item.Class
Case olTask '48
objMsg.Body = _
"Start: " & Item.StartDate & vbCrLf & _
"End: " & Item.DueDate & vbCrLf & _
"Details: " & vbCrLf & Item.Body
End Select
' send the message
objMsg.Send
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub

Simple! The Item object passed an argument to the Reminder event can be
casted to a TaskItem object where you have full access to all its properties
(e.g. TaskItem.Subject, etc.). If it equals what you expect, run your e-mail
code otherwise exit.

One more question Eric. Is there a way to change the code to also check to
only send the message when the Open button is clicked? I don't want the

Sort of. You can't trap form events for the Reminder window itself. So
you'd need to wire up an Inspector Trapper (see
http://archives.officezealot.com/leg...cles/2224.aspx) and check during
Inspectors.Add whether this is the same item as the Item object that's passed
in the Reminder event. Tricky, but possible. Then perhaps you can use the
Inspector_Open or Inspector_Close event to send the e-mail when the Task is
opened/closed.

Simple! The Item object passed an argument to the Reminder event can
be
casted to a TaskItem object where you have full access to all its
properties
(e.g. TaskItem.Subject, etc.). If it equals what you expect, run your
e-mail
code otherwise exit.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your reply.
I do have a generic code that will send an email on all task reminder
event
notifications.
But how do I change it so it traps an event with the subject line:
"Pick
Up
Mail" ?

Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim objMsg As MailItem
' create new outgoing message
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
' your reminder notification address
objMsg.To = "
objMsg.CC = "
objMsg.Subject = "Reminder: " & Item.Subject
' handle task items that generate reminders
Select Case Item.Class
Case olTask '48
objMsg.Body = _
"Start: " & Item.StartDate & vbCrLf & _
"End: " & Item.DueDate & vbCrLf & _
"Details: " & vbCrLf & Item.Body
End Select
' send the message
objMsg.Send
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub

wFor starters, you couldn't automate this from an external .exe or
script
that starts Oultook and creates an e-mail message, as that's not
supported.

The Outlook Object Model is unsuitable to run in a Windows service:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;237913

A server-side solution is best, but that involves creating an
Exchange
Event
Sink and is very advanced.

The best option is to create a recurring task and write VBA to trap
the
Reminder event to check that it is your defined task, then run your
code
to
create and send an e-mail.

All
I have so far is the following code. How do I tell Outlook to do

Attribute VB_Name = "Module1"

On Error GoTo 0


Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With olMail

'Specify the email subject

..Subject = "Pick up the Mail"

'Specify who it should be sent to

'Repeat this line to add further recipients

..Recipients.Add

..Body = "This is today's pick up mail reminder."

'Choose which of the following 2 lines to have commented out

..Display 'This will display the message for you to check and send
yourself

'.Send ' This will send the message straight away

End With


If Not blRunning Then olApp.Quit


Set olApp = Nothing

Set olMail = Nothing

Automate Email
 

Hmm...I looked at your link on Inspector Trapper. It's very thoroughly
written. Now all I have to do is understand what you're trying to
say..hahaha.

Sort of. You can't trap form events for the Reminder window itself. So
you'd need to wire up an Inspector Trapper (see
http://archives.officezealot.com/leg...cles/2224.aspx) and check
during
Inspectors.Add whether this is the same item as the Item object that's
passed
in the Reminder event. Tricky, but possible. Then perhaps you can use
the
Inspector_Open or Inspector_Close event to send the e-mail when the Task
is
opened/closed.

One more question Eric. Is there a way to change the code to also check
to
only send the message when the Open button is clicked? I don't want the
email to be sent when the Snooze or Dismiss buttons are clicked on the
Reminder notice.

Paul

"Eric Legault [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in

Close:

Dim objTask As Outlook.TaskItem

If Item.Class = olTask Then
Set objTask = Item
objTask.Subject = "Pick Up Mail" Then
End If

Remember that the passed Item object could be a Contact, Appointment or
MailItem that has a reminder flag on it, thus the check to make sure it
is
a
Task.
