Hi, guys,

  I'm trying to add email function on my own module, however, when I click the "Send e-mail" button, there always comes out an error called external ID could not found. Any ideas?


here is my code

 >>emailDemo.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <odoo>    
        <data noupdate="1">        
            <record id="ailsaodoo.example_email_template" model="mail.template">          
                <field name="name">Example e-mail template</field>          
                <field name="email_from">${object.company_id and object.company_id.email or ''}</field>          
                <field name="subject">Congratz ${object.name}</field>          
                <field name="email_to">${object.email|safe}</field>          
                <field name="lang">${object.lang}</field>          
                <field name="model_id" ref="base.model_res_partner"/>          
                <field name="auto_delete" eval="True"/>          
                <field name="body_html">                
                    <![CDATA[              
                        <p>Dear ${(object.name)},<br/><br/>              
                        Good job, you've just created your first e-mail template!<br/></p>                  
                        Regards,<br/>                  ${(object.company_id.name)}            
                    ]]>          
                </field>       
            </record>    
        </data>
    </odoo>


>>emailBtn.xml

<odoo>
  <data>
      <record id="send_mail_partner_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
        <field name="model">res.partner</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
          <!-- Add a header with button to the existing view -->
          <xpath expr="//sheet" position="before">
              <header>
                <button name="send_mail_template" string="Send e-mail" type="object" class="oe_highlight"/>
              </header>
          </xpath>
        </field>
      </record>
  </data>
</odoo>

>>_manifest_.py

  'views/emailDemo.xml',
    'views/emailBtn.xml',

>>email.py

from odoo import models,fields, api
class res_partner(models.Model):    
    _inherit = 'res.partner'    
    
    @api.multi    
    def send_mail_template(self):        
        template = self.env.ref('mail_template.ailsaodoo_example_email_template')       
        self.env['mail.template'].browse(template.id).send_mail(self.id)

You need to write external ID(module_name.external_id_of_email_template) in ref() method.

You can write as following :

    @api.multi
    def send_mail_template(self):
        template = self.env.ref('ailsaodoo.example_email_template')
        self.env['mail.template'].browse(template.id).send_mail(self.id)

change email.py like below:

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo import models, api
class res_partner(models.Model):    
    _inherit = 'res.partner'    
    @api.multi    
    def send_mail_template(self):        
        template= self.env['mail.template'].sudo().search([('name', '=', 'Example e-mail template')], limit=1)        
        self.env['mail.template'].browse(template.id).send_mail(self.id)
