In any activity that I create, I want to include the With Contact's Phone and Email address in the email that goes to the assignee. I can't do this right now and I need to enter the information manually.
Why do I need this? When I assign the activity to any person, that person might not have access to CiviCRM to look up the info. I don't want to enter the data manually. This is a serious waste of time.
An example of what I want to do is in the following diagram.
The template to edit is the one called "Cases - Send Copy of an Activity" under Administer - CiviMail- Message templates and then click the System Workflow tab. The name is historical - it isn't just for cases.
But it seems like it's not currently possible to get the With Contact information since even the activity id is not available in the template. There is minimal data to work with.
You could do this by customizing CRM_Case_BAO_Case::sendActivityCopy() to include more information. I could see that being useful as a core improvement, to at least include the activity id and related contact ids.
Note that it's possible to have multiple With Contact's on an activity, so if there's more than one you'd need to handle that.
What I want is getting the target user information in the mail template. For example :
If I do contact.phone I will get the sender phone and not the selecterd user phone.
Something like selectedUser.phone or the email.
