What Apex Email in Salesforce?

What Apex Email in Salesforce?

You can use email services to process the contents, headers, and attachments to the inbound email. For example, you can create an email service that automatically creates contact records based on the contact information in messages. Email service is using Apex classes to process the contents, headers, and attachments of the email automatically. You can associate each email service with one or more Salesforce-generated email addresses to which users can send messages for processing. The general template to create the apex class for the email services is:

To give multiple users access to a single email service, you can:

• Associate multiple Salesforce-generated emails address with the email service and allocate those addresses to users.
• Write an Apex class that executes a single Salesforce-generated email address according to the user accessing the email service address with the email service. For example, you can write an Apex class that identifies the user based on the user's email address and creates records on behalf of that user.

To use email services, from Setup, enter Email Services in the Quick Find box, then select Email Services.

• Click New Email Service to define a new email service.
• Select an existing email service to view its configuration, activate or deactivate it, and view or specify addresses for that email service.
• Click Edit to make changes to the existing email service.
• Click Delete to delete an email service.

Salesforce uses two types of email service

Outbound Email

Use Apex to work with an email sent from Salesforce. You can use Apex to send individual and mass emails. We can send Salesforce email templates and be in plain text or HTML format, or those generated by Visualforce.
