Add Outlook Toolbar Buttons to send Letters and E-mail to Business Contacts

  • Artikel

Below are two macros to send e-mail or letters your Business Contacts.  Running these macros opens a new Marketing Campaign with all the fields filled out.  Click "Launch" on the Marketing Campaign form to open the letter or e-mail in Word, then click "Mailings | Finish and Merge" in the Word Ribbon.

To create these buttons on your Outlook toolbar:
1.) Verify that your security settings will prompt you to run unsigned macros by selecting "Tools | Trust Center..." from the main Outlook window.  Then click "Macro Security" and select "Warnings for all macros" and click "OK"
2.) Create a Macro from the main Outlook window by selecting "Tools | Macro | Macros..."
3.) Type "Email" as the Macro Name, then click "Create"
4.) The Visual Basic editing window will open.  On the left-hand side is a project navigation pane.  Right-click on the top-level item named "Project1" and select "Project1 Properties..."
5.) Change "Project1" to "Business" and click "OK"
6.) In the main code area, you'll see "Sub Email()", followed by "End Sub".  Replace those two lines with the VBA code below, then click Save.
7.) Close the Visual Basic window to return to Outlook
8.) Right-click on the Outlook toolbar and click "Customize..."
9.) Select the "Commands" tab, select the "Macro" from the Categories list, then drag "Business.Letter" and "Business.Email" to the standard Outlook toolbar and click "Close" on the "Customize" dialog.
10.) Select a business contact or account, then click the "Business.Email" button.

    This is great. But.. Can you give a sample of how to grab a custom field from a form called CustomField1I was able to find it in the db under dbo_ContactIMAPVIEW.UserField3But Can you give us a sample db or sample word doc with mailmerge for custom fields??Mike

    Good question, Mike.  This is not currently supported very well and we're working to address this.  The workaround is to export selected contacts to a .CSV file, then use that file as the source for your mail merge.To do this, go to Outlook's main window.  1.) On the menu, click "File | Import and Export | Business Contact Manager for Outlook..."2.) Choose "Export a file" and click Next3.) Choose "Comma Separated Values (.csv)" and click Next4.) Select Specific Records and complete the export5.) From Word's Ribbon menu, click the Mailings tab, click the "Select Recipients" button and select "Use Existing List..."6.) Browse to the file exported in step 47.) Select Other Encoding | Unicode (UTF-8) and click OK to convert the file8.) From Word's Mailings ribbon, click Insert Merge Field and select your custom field

    Will this allow me to see the custom fields?

  • Anonymous

    Yes.  When you export Business Contacts to the CSV file, the custom fields are also exported.  Word mail merge will allow you to insert these fields into your document.Hope that helps!

    Is there a way to automate an export to csv for a specific contact? Something like the above macro? If so.. That would help everyone out. We can setup our Word mail to grab from there..Also, is there a diagram of the BCM database out there?Mike

    Any chance of getting a database layout.

    You can use any SQL tool to view the database tables but we don't recommend that. if you are interested in getting the names of all properties on BCM item, I would recommend using UserPropties collection on the contact item.

    I got some problems with this macro in the german version. All campaign field names used in this macro are in English but I need them in German.For example: newMarketingCampaign.ItemProperties("Campaign Code") -> newMarketingCampaign.ItemProperties("Kampagnencode")Where can I find a list of the right fieldnames used in the campaign input mask?

    Why can't emailing a business contact be as simple as emailing normal outlook contacts. Sometimes i just want to send a note to someone without running a campaign. i don't want to have to copy their email address into a new email. i just want to press a button.

    I have also tried to follow the directions above, but everytime I try to launch a marketing campaign it gives me an error that says "The content file specified does not exist. Please ensure the file is present before launching a marketing campaign." I have tried to delete everything and start over and I am still getting the same error. I even tried deleting the underscore at the end and this did not work either. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello, Whenever I try to launch a marketing campaign after selecting the users and creating or selecting the word file  (*.docx) I receive the following message:"Business Contact Manager for Outlook could not complete your last action or actions". I'm working with the Spanish trial version. I have already installed the SP1 for Outlook with BCM, I reboot the computer and the message keeps showing. I opened the log file but it seems that nothing is wrong: [V] [18:15:10.5000000]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMSCapabilities::GetCapabilities:Enter: 0x02f04d8c [V] [18:15:10.5468750]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMSCapabilities::GetCapabilities:Return: 0x02f04d8c, 0x00000000 [V] [18:15:10.5937500]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMSCapabilities::GetCapabilities:Enter: 0x02f04d8c [V] [18:15:10.5937500]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMSCapabilities::GetCapabilities:Return: 0x02f04d8c, 0x00000000 [V] [18:15:10.6562500]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMSCapabilities::GetCapabilities:Enter: 0x02f04d8c [V] [18:15:10.6562500]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMSCapabilities::GetCapabilities:Return: 0x02f04d8c, 0x00000000 [V] [18:15:39.8281250]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: moMnuHelpAboutBusinessContactManager_Click: Exit [V] [18:15:39.8593750]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Enter [V] [18:15:39.8593750]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Exit [V] [18:15:39.9687500]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Enter [V] [18:15:39.9687500]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Exit [V] [18:15:42.1250000]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Enter [V] [18:15:42.1250000]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Exit [V] [18:15:42.3281250]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Enter [V] [18:15:42.3281250]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Exit [V] [18:15:42.4375000]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Enter [V] [18:15:42.4375000]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Exit [V] [18:15:43.9687500]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Enter [V] [18:15:43.9687500]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: MenuBarBase:moCommandBarsEvents_OnUpdate: Exit [V] [18:15:44.3125000]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: ExplorerWrapper:moExplorer_Close: Enter [V] [18:15:44.8906250]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.DataSync: OfflineManager.StopPollingForSharedDBConnectivity: Entry [V] [18:15:44.8906250]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.DataSync: OfflineManager.StopPollingForSharedDBConnectivity: Exit [V] [18:15:45.0937500]Microsoft.BusinessSolutions.eCRM.OutlookAddIn: ExplorerWrapper:moExplorer_Close: Exit [V] [18:15:45.6562500]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: IMAPITable::Unadvise:Enter: 0x02effd90 [V] [18:15:45.6718750]Iris.Mapi.MessageStore: MAPITable::Unadvise:Return: 0x02effd90, 0x00000000 I'm getting really desperate because I have looked up in other blogs but no one seems to have the answer. My client wanted to purchase this tool but after all the problems we have had to get BCM installed we are considering to choose a different software. Could you please give us a hand. We would really appreciate any help. Marisol

    Hi! We have some data that we need to capture on a contact and would like the information Masked or hidden after entry. Is there a way for us to get to the screen and set the field so it is masked? It is a user defined field. Or do we have to locate the field in the database and do something with it there? Thanks.

    When typing a letter to a contact is there anyway to import their address details into the letter rather than lookin them up and doing a copy paste. Is there a write letter to contact function. I have read the above comments but as they are quite old wondered if things had moved on?
