How to use Email Templates from the API?

[leonbbb]

Hello all,

I want to send Emails using an API User. I can do that easily, however, I do not find the right settings to apply a template by id?
Is there a way to POST to api/v1/email and have a emailtemplateId in the request body?

All help is very much appreciated!

Thank you very much


EDIT:
To clarify, I want to do what I can do in the UI, select a template for for example an opportunity and then send that email with the body from the template.

Hi leonbbb,

You can use two HTTP requests:

POST {ESPO_URI}/api/v1/EmailTemplate/email-template-id/prepare

Payload:

{
  "emailAddress": "to-email-address",
  "parentId": "parent-id",
  "parentType": "parent-type" // like Contact or Account
}

In response to this request, you'll receive the following values generated by the email template:

• subject
• body
• isHtml
• attachmentsIds
• attachmentsNames

Then, you can use these values in the following HTTP request:

POST {ESPO_URI}api/v1/Email
