Step 2: Creating the Apex Batch Class

Apex Batch Code

 
    global class LeadcampaignEmail implements Database.Batchable {
    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
        String query = 'SELECT Id, LeadId, Lead.Email, Status, CampaignId FROM CampaignMember';
        System.debug('query'+query);
        return Database.getQueryLocator(query);   
    }
    
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List cmList) {
         List emailsToSend = new List();
       System.debug('cmlist'+cmlist);     
        List Mails = new List();
      
        for (CampaignMember cm : cmList) {
            if((cm.LeadId != Null)&&(cm.Status == 'Sent')){
                Mails.add(cm.Lead.Email);          
            }
        }
        if(!Mails.isEmpty()){
            Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
                email.setToAddresses(Mails);
                email.setSubject('Lead Test Mail');
                email.setPlainTextBody('Olaa! You have been added to Campaign Member.');  
                emailsToSend.add(email);
            
            Messaging.SendEmailResult[] emailResults = Messaging.sendEmail(emailsToSend);
            System.debug('Email Sent Successfully');
        }
    }
        
        global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
            System.debug('Finished');
        }
    }
