I know how to send a calendar invite by php (icalendar) but I want to just add an event to the receiver's calendar by sending an email. So that there is no RSVP buttons (Outlook) or other response needed.
Can anyone help me with this?
There is no difference between a calendar event and an invite: they both use the icalendar standard.
The appearance of the RSVP buttons depends on the iCalendar RSVP parameter in the ATTENDEE lines.
For example:
ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;RSVP=FALSE;CN=Jennifer:mailto:jen#test.ex
The important parameter in there is RSVP. It indicates whether the organizer would like to receive an RSVP or not. Its default value is false, so omitting the parameter establishes the same effect: the recipient receives the invite, and does not request a RSVP.
Note: mail software manufacturers may choose to ignore this: nothing can be done about that... :)

I have a bot, and I want to use it to send a animated emoji.
I have the emoji ID, <:rgb_lego:993606148580184154>
but whenever I make it send the message, it just says
Pong! 🏓 The round trip took 76ms. ⚡:rgb_lego:
what am I doing wrong?
It depends on what server (guild) you sent it and how exactly you do it.
Guess you need to check & fetch the requested custom emojie from server and then sent it.
You might wanna check Discord.js docs for that. But if I remember it correctly, emojies should be accessed by bot via:
client.guild.emojis.[methodName] via GuildEmojiManager
The second problem could be relevant to the server, where you want to sent it, doesn't have the required emojie, so in that case it has been delivered as a text ref, not an emojie itself or the bot account doesn't have premium features required for using emojies or so on.
I have a registration Form with a Validator binded to some TextFields and Pickers, and binded to a submit Button.
One of these TextField is for email. Suppose that I have a Rest API to know if a given email is already registered or not.
Currently the Validator only checks if the given email is a valid email. I also want to check if it’s already registered: if yes, the validation must fails, the submit button must be disabled and an informative Label must be shown under the TextField in issue (the emblem icon doesn’t make sense in this case). It’s not an InputComponent, it’s a standard simple TextField.
I don’t know how to achieve this. Thank you for your support.
Showing something under the label is easy just add an error label below in the layout. If the label is blank it won't show and won't take up space.
The validation code is designed for fast client side validation. What you're talking about is server side validation and that's a result of a server error. You need to do that separately anyway by making a request and failing.
The submit button can be enabled in such a case since you don't necessarily want to delay submit but if the submit is pressed before the email check is done you can wait for that request to complete.
If you want this to go through the validator pattern you can just create a validator that returns false at first (but disable the error indications) then in the error below the validator you can write "checking email availability".
Once a result is received you just update the validator value and trigger a re-validation of the input. You can just invoke setText() again with the same text which should trigger validation.
Notice that if your making a webservice request on every data change event this will produce a pretty awful UI experience. You need to use a timer to send a delayed request when typing is done. I think I posted something like this in the past around here.
could really use some serious help on this. Below is the current business case:
We have the standard accounts, contacts, and opportunities objects. We've also created a custom object, and let's call it 'Customers.'
As of now, 'customers' are related to accounts.
Our users have einstein activity capture on, so all the email interactions get logged to the 'Account' level that the contact is related to, which makes sense.
The problem is that I want those emails tracked on the 'Customer' activity feed too, not just the 'Account' or 'Contact' activity feed.
Will creating a junction object between contacts and customers allow this activity to be shown in the 'customer' field? Or is there a simpler way to do this? Thank you in advance as this is a major roadblock I am facing right now.
I haven't worked with Einstein Activity Capture yet. What does it save stuff as? EmailMessage? Task? Either allows adding custom fields so you could add lookup to your Customer__c. With Task it's even simpler, it has that mutant lookup thing, Customer should appear as available option if it has "Allow Activities" ticked in setup.
Assuming that gives you something - next step would be to maybe make a custom quick action with some fields prepopulated, maybe a trigger to go "up" to Account and then to Customer(s)... Because out of the box

Custom objects aren’t supported. When emails are sent from a custom
object, the email is logged on the activity timeline of the associated
contact.

I was trying to filter mails based on the 'messageListVisibility' field of the labels assigned to the email. To be precise, I scan the labels of each email and if any of the labels has the messageListVisibility set to "hide", I don't show the email. This didn't work, so when I had a look at the labels returned by a call to "Users.labels: list", which retrieves all labels, I observed several things:
The INBOX label has messageListVisibility = "hide"???
The label "IMPORTANT" has messageListVisibility = "hide"???
Several system labels do not have a messageListVisibility field.
The last point is manageable, but the two others are a bit surprising. Am I correct in assuming that the messageListVisibility field's objective is to not show the user any email that has that label?
You seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of the messageListVisibility attribute. The attribute determines if the label name is included alongside any messages which have this label. Consider the following:
User has 5 messages in his INBOX. Each of which has labelA and labelB applied to them.
The messageListVisibility is hide for labelA and show for labelB.
When the user click on the Inbox and sees those 5 messages, labelB will show for each message in the list of messages, it's just to the left of the message subject.
The documentation describes messageListVisibility as:
*The visibility of messages with this label in the message list in the Gmail web interface. *
I have an approval process with three steps, all of which are set to Assigned Approver = Manually Chosen. When the user submits the record for approval, I'd like to have Apex code determine who the three approvers are. However, I don't see a way to hook into the approve request submission.
If I submit the approval with Apex Using Approval.process(), I can set the initial (and only the initial) approver with ProcessSubmitRequest.setNextApproverIds(). This call leads you to believe you can specify multiple approvers since it takes an array of Ids, but the array can only have 1 element, or else runtime a error occurs.
Once I know what the first approver's response is, I can use Apex to submit her response and, again, set the immediately next approver by passing a ProcessWorkitemRequest instance to Approval.process(). An important note here is that the approver must not approve via the standard UI. Instead, they must do something that invokes the Apex code so that we can set who the next approve should be. A trigger on the object under review, or a custom button + VF page could be used to invoke the Apex.
My main question is, how can I make sure that the user does not use the standard approval buttons? They appear in the Approvals related list and on the salesforce home screen. It may be in other places as well. Again, if they use the standard submit and approve buttons, I don't have any way to hook in to set the next approver.
We ran into a similar issue a while back and solved it by creating custom lookup fields to certain users. For example, if we wanted to route an approval request up to a Director and then a VP, we added Director__c and MarketVP__c fields to the object. These fields were populated in code by climbing the role hierarchy whenever a request was submitted. Our approval process's steps then chose who the assignee would be based on the values in these fields (first step would be assigned to Related User: Director and the second step would be assigned to Related User: Market VP, etc.).
To get around the standard approval button issue (we had other reasons for hiding it), we just hid that from their homepage layouts and built our own VF page and included it in a custom homepage component. This component functioned as an inbox with links to any records that were pending the user's approval. All user interaction with the approval objects was handled through other VF pages with their own Approve and Reject buttons. I don't know if the objects you're submitting to the approval process even use VF pages, so this may not be feasible for your situation.
A lot of customization for something that shouldn't need it, I know. Might not be the answer you're looking for, but hopefully it's some food for thought.
