I'd like to use a pushbutton for a Create Communication event using a specific Communication Template. I'm currently able to trigger the CREATECOMM event simply by referencing this in the Event field for the pushbutton. However, I don't want the user to have to then select a template. I'd like to pass in the desired templateid when calling the event from the pushbutton.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

The way I did this is by creating a workflow which sends the email,
the new workflow can be invoked from the toolbar and when ever user invokes
the workflow it will send the email.

I see I wasn't very clear in my initial post. My goal is to trigger the CreateComm event manually (pushbutton or toolbar button)which brings up a specified Communication Template, but allow the user to review/edit the message prior to sending it. The Create Communication (Select Action) is basically what I want to (and can) trigger with a button, however, the user must then find/select the appropriate template. I'd like to configure the button to bring up a preselected template for the user.
Within Workflow, this can be done, however the ability to review/edit prior to sending is not provided as far as I can determine.
