addEmailOptions

Question

I am working on a custom compose, in the Sidecar Email module we can use this.addEmailOptions(options); to set some defaults on an email

I successfully added a body and subject as well as relating the email to the module I am starting from, but I can't seem to set the To, and Cc fields

It looks like I need to pass a to_collection and cc_collection but I can't figure out how...

The collection appears to be a set of pairs: Bean, EmailAddressBean

where Bean is a Contact, Lead, User... depending on the situation.

But I don't always have a Bean.

A person we never heard of before can send a request to a case queue (our Customer Service uses Cases) so all I have is an email address.

Sometimes I need to include an internal company address that is not stored in Sugar and again, I don't have a Bean that it relates to.

How do I include these in my custom compose?

And even if I have a bean, how do I structure my $to_collection when passing it from API?

thanks,

Thanks to Greg Levine I now know that I needed to provide the _link attribute for each model added to the collection. hence: App . api . call ( 'GET' , url , '' , { success : _ . bind ( function ( o ) { o . to_collection = _ . map ( o . to_collection , function ( attrs ) { return app . data . createBean ( 'EmailParticipants' , _ . extend ( { _link : 'to' } , attrs ) ) ; } ) ; o . cc_collection = _ . map ( o . cc_collection , function ( attrs ) { return app . data . createBean ( 'EmailParticipants' , _ . extend ( { _link : 'cc' } , attrs ) ) ; } ) ; self . addEmailOptions ( { to_collection : o . to_collection , cc_collection : o . cc_collection , name : o . name , description_html : o . description_html , description : o . description } ) ; Everything works now, no more errors.
