nlapiMergeRecord help!

I want to send an email template whenever a Task is saved with a specific dropdown field value selected.

Everything in the script works only when I comment out the "nlapimergerecord" line -- when I try to run it within the script it throws an error so I'm not sure how to incorporate this.  I've never used that function before so I'm not sure how to do it.

The script is triggered upon save on the Task form (client side).  Here is the script:



[INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]function MergeAndSendEmail()
{
var author = nlapiGetUser();
var recipient = nlapiGetFieldValue('contact');
var transid = nlapiGetFieldValue('transaction');
