getFormattedThreadingToken(recordId)

Returns an email threading token that’s formatted with the correct prefix and suffix. This token can be embedded in an outbound email body, email subject, or both the body and subject. When users reply to the email, threading tokens can be used to attach responses to a record, such as a Case record in Email-to-Case.

Signature

public static Id getFormattedThreadingToken(Id recordId)

Parameters

recordId
Type:Id
The record ID associated with the threading token.

Return Value

Type: String

The returned value is a formatted string that includes a prefix and suffix, for example:

Usage

When sending emails in Apex, use the returned string to match emails to a record, such as a Case record, that’s associated with the email thread. Embed the formatted token in the body or subject of outgoing emails. To find the corresponding record ID in incoming emails, use EmailMessages.getRecordIdFromEmail(subject, textBody, htmlBody).

Example

In this sample, we send an email with a threading token so that the email and any responses are associated with the related case.
