VBO Send email to CCK E-mail field

Question

I have a content type called "Business", and a user can have multiple "Businesses".

Each business has a "business e-mail" field. This is different from the users email address, and is different for every business.

I want to be able to use VBO to send an email to all selected businesses. I have the view set up ok, and in the recipients field on the send email page I add the token....

[node:field-business-e-mail]

and I also tried...

[node:field_business_e_mail]

But I still get the error :

Enter a valid email address or use a token e-mail address such as [node:author:mail].

Is there a way to get around this?

Answer 1

You can do this by updating code on system.module file. Below are the code :

   function system_send_email_action_validate($form, $form_state) {
       $form_values = $form_state['values'];
       $has_tokens = count(token_scan($form_values['recipient'])) > 0 ? TRUE : FALSE;
       if (!valid_email_address($form_values['recipient']) && !$has_tokens) {
          form_set_error('recipient', t('Enter a valid email address or use a token e-mail address such as %author.', array('%author' => '[node:author:mail]')));
       }
}

For any help, I have refer you to this PATCH.

This is not working directly try to do it manually.
