You can find the xml file of the test project here:

Lets suppose we have got this test project with ID = 12

For this purpose we would need plugin_12_add_issue.php file

<?php>
function hd_plugin_12_add_issue($params)
{
	//This function is used to send an Email Notification Template
	//$email_address: The email id to send an Email Notification
	//$id: id of the Notification Template
	//$templates: An array which consists the template
	function sendMessage($email_address, $id, $templates)
	{
		$msg = new ClaMailMessage('utf-8');
		$msg->SetFrom("noreply@claromentis.com");
		$msg->SetTo($email_address);
		$msg->SetSubject($templates["subj"]["$id"]);
 
		if($templates["html"]["$id"])
		{
			$msg->SetTxtBody(Html2Plain($templates["body"]["$id"]));
			$msg->SetHtmlBody($templates["body"]["$id"]);
		}
		else
		{
			$msg->SetTxtBody($templates["body"]["$id"]);
		}
		$msg->Send();
	}
	
	//Creating neccessary objects while used in parsing
	$issue = new HDIssue();
	$issue->Load($params["issue"]["id"]);
	$issue->GetFormData();
 
	//Getting all Notifications from the project
	$project = new HDProject();
	$project->Load($params["project"]["id"]);
	list($notif_templates, $notif_settings) = $project->GetNotifSettings();
 
	$fbform = new FBForm();
	$pid = 12;
 
	if(!$project->Load($pid))
	{
		$errno = "Cannot load current project";
		vard2($errno);
		exit;
	}
	$fbform = $project->getForm();
	$fbform->loadFields();
	$fd = $issue->GetFormData();
	
	if ($fd)
	{
		$fd->loadAllData();
	}
	$fd->LoadFormPrototype($form);
	$fd->loadAllData();
	$fd->GetFieldsData();
	
	//To fetch the values: email and send of the form
	$values = $params["issue"]["fields_values"];
 
	$templates = array();
	$templates["body"][0] = "";
	$templates["subj"][0] = "";
	$templates["html"][0] = "";
 
	$tmpl = parse_ic_templates($params);
 
	if($values['send'] == 1)
		sendMessage($values['email'], "1", $tmpl);
}
?>
