If a particular button, on a SharePoint list is selected, can I have a email sent to someone?
You'll probably need to wire an event handler into the list, which is going to require visual studio. I don't know think you can do it from designer.
Yes. You will need to create a workflow (in SharePoint Designer) to generate an email everytime that button/box is checked. In that email you can also specify the details you want to send over, linked to that item. (realy easy, does not require too much knowledge in SP Designer to do it).

Is it possible to modify email contents in outlook with yasoon?
I need to develop a plugin that opens html+js popup and inserts a link to email that user composes currently. Also I have to get list of recipients.
More details on what I want to archive is in this video(1.5 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JDh1NdIeUM
if its not possible with yasoon - how can I develop such functionality in outlook 2010/2013?
Your use case is fully supported by yasoon. We do something similar for Dropbox. However a heads up, there is also a way using the new Microsoft "Outlook Apps" to support this functionality. See the "Compose scenario" section. This would also allow you to run your app on Outlook.com website as well. yasoon only supports the standalone Outlook desktop client.
In case you need something more than just a simple html+js view and adding a link, like accessing the calendar (read, write), creating a ribbon button or new popup dialogs, feel free to check out our GitHub repo for code samples any time!
I bielive you can develop an Outlook add-in with a form region where you can choose and enter all the custom information. And then create a hyperlink and insert it in the body. See Walkthrough: Creating Your First Application-Level Add-in for Outlook to get started.
Also you may find the Creating Outlook Form Regions section in MSDN helpful.
I am using the Office365 Rest API's to integrate with our application.
Our application generates emails via templates, and then we need to open it as a draft in outlook so the user can make any adjustments before sending it.
The creation of emails is working just fine, and we get the #odata response.
In this response we are taking the weblink section and using this to open the draft email.
If we just use the section as is, the draft email is displayed in a new window, but there is no option there to send it, just to continue editing or discard. So the user has to select continue editing to be able to send it. This would be more useful of you could Is there an option to go straight to the editor? There is a viewmode parameter, but I couldn't find any information on it and trying anything other than viewmodel=ReadMessageItem just gave me a blank screen.
What we really want to be able to do is open the draft in the full outlook editor. From the documentation, this appears to be possible by adding ispopout=0 to the weblink (as mentioned in the resource reference for message). When we do this, the link does open the main outlook window, but it doesn't open the draft in the message pane, just displays the inbox. Is there something I'm missing here?
WebLink property provides you a URL for Outlook Web App window to read a mail the user has received, or a draft as if it was saved by the user. So, the user does have to click on "Edit" to make any changes or send the message. For your scenario, taking the user directly to the draft in "Edit" mode makes sense to avoid the extra click. We will add this feature to our backlog.
"ispopout=0" isn't yet supported and I don't have a timeline to share right now. This is intended for the user to land in Outlook Web App with the message displayed in Preview pane. More importantly, we require the URL returned in WebLink to be used as is, as it can change. So, if an app makes changes to the URL before using it, it could break in the future if the URL structure changes.
I'm struggling to find much documentation on Dynamics CRM 2011 and have a problem. I'm not looking for code more a pointer as to the correct method of approach (workflow, dialog, custom HTML web resource etc)
I basically want something that does the following:
Go to Contact list
Select some contacts
Ribbon action opens a box that allows me
to select a custom role from a drop down list (source is a dynamics
entity)
Select a radio box for either add or remove role
Save the changes, this will add or remove a role from the contact and also send an email to that contact
I know how to get a list of selected recordIDs but I am not sure if I should be calling a dialog or a custom HTML page with JS.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
This may not work at all for your scenario but it is worth thinking out of the box sometimes. This would only work if you have a small number of roles and the roles don't change that often.
Add checkboxes on the Contact, one for each role. Build workflows that fire on update of those checkboxes that send your emails. Now users can quickly edit lots of Contact Roles by using the Multi-Edit feature.
The benefit of this approach is it is a "no code" solution and it is very easy for the User since it uses out-of-the-box functionality. The downside is that you need to maintain those checkboxes. But it may be easier than writing a bunch of web resources and javascript!
I have assembled a list of bookmarks on the subject here. I hope the link works.
Gareth Tucker's site is specially interesting.
In the end the solution was to create a Ribbon item that accepted the selected Guids from the contact list.
Then read those in from a web resource (Silverlight) which called into the sdk and created / removed the records accordingly
I have created the Info path form.
Once the new form created i need to send the email to users which the user selected in the people picker field.
Is that possible to do this using Designer,or VS 2010.
Give some reference to do this.

the email that is generated when a task is assigned by sharepoint workflow doesn't fit my needs and I would either like to customize it. If anyone knows how to customize this email, please let me know.
The best thing to do is to disable the default email alert on the task list by going to list settings. Then create another workflow on the task list that gets triggered on item creation and only when the item creator is the first workflow. Then use a send mail activity from designer and you can customize that to your heart's content.
