topic Specifying recipient of MailTask as a user's email attribute in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/specifying-recipient-of-mailtask-as-a-user-s-email-attribute/m-p/178858#M131988 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a BPMN flow which contains:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1. A UserTask where someone assigns a user to the process variable 'thirdParty', followed by</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. A MailTask that is supposed to send an email to the email address associated with the thirdParty user object, referring to them by name in the body of the email.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Why I want this: it seems messy and laborious (and not very OO) to carry around a set of process variables giving each property of a single user. Passing these into other flows via CallTask would also be a huge pain.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I tried just putting &lt;activiti:field name="to"&gt;&lt;activiti:expression&gt;${thirdParty.email}&lt;/activiti:expression&gt;&lt;/activiti:field&gt; (with ${thirdParty.name} embedded in the 'text' field), but I get an 'Unknown property' error.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Am I required to write a ServiceTask with custom code that takes in a process variable of type User and outputs several process variables? Or is there a more lightweight, out-of-the-box solution?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Duncan.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 06 Jan 2015 01:16:48 GMT asinoladro 2015-01-06T01:16:48Z Specifying recipient of MailTask as a user's email attribute https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/specifying-recipient-of-mailtask-as-a-user-s-email-attribute/m-p/178858#M131988 Hello,I have a BPMN flow which contains:1.
