HI mrogers,

Thanks fo the quick reply.

I have tried the above mentioned code to send Email notifications, but I have the problem with the mail.execute() method. The mail.execute() method requires an input parameter called 'bpm_package' or 'NodeRef' object how can I get these objects into my webscripts.

Thanks & Regards,
Anwar

Hi Anwar ,

I have same situation here, where I want a Javascript to send an email to the current user when this user has paste a document in a space.
How did you manage the javascript to execute the mail?
Can you share this with us?

Check out the example adhoc workflow in …\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow\adhoc_processdefinition.xml
It has the following code:

      <transition name="" to="completed">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
           <script>
              if (wf_notifyMe)
              {
                 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);
              }
           </script>
         </action>
      </transition>

I have tried the above mentioned code to send Email notifications, but I have the problem with the mail.execute() method. The mail.execute() method requires an input parameter called 'bpm_package' or 'NodeRef' object how can I get these objects into my webscripts.

This is an old thread, but didn't give a satisfactory answer for me. Since I figured out a simple solution I thought I would post it. Assuming that you have a "person" that you are sending e-mail to (or a logged-in user) you have a NodeRef (the person) quite handy. For example:


var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = thePerson.properties["cm:email"];
mail.parameters.subject = "Your user name";
mail.parameters.from = "admin@mysite.com";
mail.parameters.text = "Your user name is: '" + thePerson.properties['cm:userName'] + "'.";
mail.execute(thePerson);
