The executeCommand and previewCommand lack of proper documentation currently, but you are supposed to pass them a name of command and the same object that the functions bound to execute and preview in a command receive. For example, for the command "email Hey, look at my cool picture to [email protected]" if you want to execute it using CmdUtils.executeCommand you'll use the following code: CmdUtils.executeCommand('email', {text: 'Hey, look at my cool picture'}, {to: {text: '[email protected]'}}) But you need to have a look at the source code of the email command to check if it uses the "text" key of those objects, or the "data", "html" or "summary" fields.
Hope that helps.
