We have a custom object for complaints; when one is logged we want to send an automatic email to the manager specified (via a lookup field) within the complaint .

 

I've created the email template & the workflow rule to send the email, but I can't find how to send it ONLY to the manager specified in the complaint - all managers don't want to receive every complaint, only the ones they are dealing with.

 

The manager generally won't be the record owner so I can't do it that way. 

 

Any ideas?

    If this is not working as I know for sure the cross object email alerts does not work well with Related Accouns or Contacts, you will have to do the below

     

    Create a Custom Email field on the Obejct and label it as Manager Email

     

    As part of your workflow rule that sends email to the Manager, create a field Update action

     

    Field to Update: Manager Email

     

    use formula to set the new value and the formula is

    Manager__r.Email

    Please use the insert field button to select the field API Name of the Email field from related user object.

     

    Now as part of your email alert action, select the Recepient type as Email field and select the Manager Email field
