Sending email when saving a custom civicrm activity
October 06, 2008, 08:51:00 pm
Hello, I started using civicrm recently and have a question regarding activities:

We added a few custom activities through civicrm administrator and would like to send an email when this activity is saved.
1. Is it okay to modify code under civicrm to achieve this functionality? (civicrm/CRM/activity/Form/Activity.php->postProcess)
2. Can I use sendEmail function from civicrm/CRM/activity/BAO/Activity.php?
3. I also see that every time an email is sent, an activity automatically gets created. Since I want to send an email from activity save, I don't want another activity to be created. Is there an alternative api that I can use to only send an email?

Thanks in advance for your help.
