Few years ago, I started a project in Codeplex called “Dynamics CRM Custom Emails“, which allows you to send emails from a Microsoft Dynamics 365 / CRM process (e.g. workflow, action) based on an Email Template. Additionally, these emails can contain dynamic values for any entity (out-of-the-box or custom) and any type of attribute (e.g. lookup, option set, currency, etc).
Today this project got more than 3500 downloads and every day there are still several ones. Since Codeplex is going to die very soon, I have decided to update it and migrate it to Github.
So the old project URLΒ https://crmcustomemails.codeplex.com has been now replaced byΒ https://github.com/rtebar/dynamics-custom-emails
Apart from just migrating the project from one place to the other, I have also updated it to the latest Dynamics 365 version.
There are some open issues in Codeplex that I would like to review, so I will try to do it before Codeplex closes and reflect them in the new Github project. I would like to thank you those guys who have collaborated and provide their feedback.
For Β those who has never seen this project, I would like to show you a quick example with some screenshots.
Let’s say we had the following Email Template:
We could then produce an email like this:
These would be done by a Dynamics workflow like this one:
This workflow will use the custom workflow activity provided by this solution. You can then specify the corresponding context parameters:
You will find more documentation in the Github project site:

Enjoy it!
