Notify assignees by email

joaotpd — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:55:40 GMT

Hi all!I'm using alfresco-community-tomcat-2.9.0B on linux…I create a new workflow that allows to send tasks to many users… Now i want to notify them all with an email… I've tried things like:…mail.parameters.to = bpm_assignees.properties["cm:email"];…‍‍‍…mail.parameters.to = bpm_assignees.propertie

This code for send mail:

var mail = actions.create("mail");
                 mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
                 mail.parameters.subject = "Adhoc Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
                 mail.parameters.from = bpm_assignee.properties.email;
                 mail.parameters.text = "It's done";
                 mail.execute(bpm_package);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Please check again parameter in web-client-config-properties.xml at line (it's want this line):


<show-association name="bpm:assignee" display-label-id="wf_reviewer"/>
‍‍‍

and this line in file model:


<mandatory-aspects>
     <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
</mandatory-aspects>

Hi vinaxwater!
Thanks for your answer!! That code for send mail is used if you have one assignee only… I have many… :s So i use "bpm:assignees" like described here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration#The_Start_Task.
My problem is how to send an email to many!! :s
Anyone??! …
Thanks again…

Oh! This is code in Node Object in process_defintion.xml for sendmail:


<node name="test">
   <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.ForEachFork">
            <foreach>#{bpm_assignees}</foreach>
            <var>user</var>
       </action>
      <transition to="task">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
                 <script>
                    if (wf_notifyMe)
                    {
                       var mail = actions.create("mail");
                       mail.parameters.to = user.properties.email;
                       mail.parameters.subject = "Test Document Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
                       mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
                       mail.parameters.text = "You have a TASK from" + initiator;
                       mail.execute(bpm_package);
                       
                       var mail1 = actions.create("mail");
                       mail1.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
                       mail1.parameters.subject = "List email assignee: " + user.properties.userName;
                       mail1.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
                       mail1.parameters.text = "You have a TASK from" + initiator;
                       mail1.execute(bpm_package);
                    }
                 </script>

"wf_notifyMe" is implicitly referring to this great article about advanced workflows :
