Custom Action to e-mail Item

Question

Is there any way to add a CEWP or other part to add ability to e-mail a list item? From what I see is that you need Visual Studios in order to do so. Can someone please assist?

Hi ,

You can get the selected items using the below code

var ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);

for(var i=0; i < selectedItems.length;i++)
{
    var itemId = selectedItems[i].id;

console.log(itemId);
}

Yes ... Please use sp.js references and jquery references

<script src="/_layouts/15/sp.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I saved the js, added a CEWP, and pointed it to the JS still no luck

Hi,

Raghava had pointed the solution, I just provide the tested sample code for your reference.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function triggerEmail() {
            var ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            var listID = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
            var targetList = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getById(listID);
            var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
            
            for (var i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++) {
                var itemId = selectedItems[i].id;
                var item = targetList.getItemById(itemId);
                ctx.load(targetList, 'DefaultDisplayFormUrl');
                ctx.load(item);
                ctx.executeQueryAsync(
                    Function.createDelegate(this, function () {
                        var itemTitle = item.get_item('Title');
                        var body = targetList.get_defaultDisplayFormUrl()+'?ID=' + itemId;
                        sendMail('[e-mail]', ['[e-mail]'], 'CustomEmail' + itemTitle, 'item:' + body).done(function (response) {
                            alert("Mail Sent.");
                        }).fail(function (a,b,c) {
                            alert(a.responseText);
                        });
                        console.log(itemId);
                    }),
                    Function.createDelegate(this, function () {
                        alert('error');
                    })
                );
               
            }
        }

        function sendMail(from,toList, subject, mailContent) {
            var restUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail",
            restHeaders = {

                                }
                            ]
                        }

                }
            };
            return $.ajax({
                contentType: "application/json",
                url: restUrl,
                type: "POST",
                data: JSON.stringify(mailObject),
                headers: restHeaders
            });
        }
        
    </script>

    <input id="Button1" onclick="triggerEmail()" type="button" value="triggerEmail" />
