using CiviMail with custom email recipient
September 10, 2014, 12:55:04 am
Hi CiviCommunity,
in my CiviCRM project I have a drupal node with a list of CiviCRM contacts and I want to send an email (using the CiviMail form) to this list of contacts.
How can I use CiviMail to send an email to a list of custom email recipient?

Thanks.

I think you should be able to use http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_buildForm

to set the default values.

PS. That isn't the CiviMail form. It is the send email form and is limited to 50 recipients or so.

Thank you Michael.
Ok, I can create the hook, but I don't know how to add or call the form into my page. I can also make a civicrm page instead of drupal page, but I was unable to find something useful in the documentation.

When we did it, we constructed a URL with an extra parameter that could be picked up by buildForm (https://github.com/michaelmcandrew/gp/blob/master/drupal/sites/all/modules/custom/gpew_local_party_access/gpew_local_party_access.module#L92 is an example)
