I have been asked for a solution that can send an email when a customer is changed. I have a few objects created and a codeunit that is executed by the Job Queue or manually from a page or a form. First the Change Log needed to be activated.
Did anyone ever have that situation where you need to test a mailing function, but you just don’t have an SMTP server or just too many records in the test environment to check so you wouldn’t accidentally send to a real customer/vendor/contact?
Recently we have implemented the NAV to Web integration as a part of the Integration there was a requirment to send e-mail notification when a error is logged into NAV through NAV web services, I tried to use the Standard SMTP e-mail functionality, which uses Microsoft Navision Mail.smtpmessage Automation, but automations do not work through web services and we will receive “Call back functions not allowed” error.
Since the report that I posted earlier simply sends an PDF copy of the Invoice and Credit Memo to the recipient via SMTP mail you do not have a copy of that E-Mail in your inbox or sent items.
This solution uses PDFCreator to automatically email all invoices and credit memos to customers that have an email address entered.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV technical support sometimes gets involved regarding request for E-mail logging assistance after an Exchange Server was migrated from old to new hardware or when the original Exchange Server was upgraded to a later release. Starting in Exchange 2007, the underlying OS should be 64-bit which means that new hardware needs to be purchased and the question then comes up how to migrate the old Exchange Server database to the new one. Some customer decide to use tools like Exmerge (PST migration method) or a similar approach.
Yesterday I ran another workshop at the NAV 2009 focused on possibilities and limitations in order to make a decision for an update. Here I particularly remember one question remained – Is there something similar to “Send Link by Mail” (or Save link on the desktop)?
