I configured outbound e-mail with gmail SMTPS:mail.host=smtp.gmail.commail.port=465mail.username=RTalfresco@gmail.commail.password=xxxxxxxmail.encoding=UTF-8mail.from.default=RTalfresco@gmail.commail.smtps.auth=truemail.protocol=smtpsmail.smtps.Starttls.enable=t

The Alfresco workflows do not notify by email, although of course you could add notification tasks where appropriate.

Ok, I thought the default workflows send e-mail to.

What I did is creating a new workflow. I used the book from Wrox: Professional Alfresco.

When I place my script in an other place in the workflow the mail is sent.
So there must be something wrong with the code I got from the book?

Here is the procesdefinition:


<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="mywf:myReviewAndApprove">

   <swimlane name="initiator"></swimlane>

   <swimlane name="reviewer">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{bpm_assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

   <start-state name="start">
      <task name="mywf:mySubmitReviewTask" swimlane="initiator"></task>
      <transition name="" to="review"></transition>
   </start-state>

   <task-node name="review">
      <task name="mywf:myReviewTask" swimlane="reviewer"></task>
      <transition name="approve" to="approve"></transition>
      <transition name="reject" to="reject"></transition>
   </task-node>

   <node name="approve">
      <event type="node-enter">
         <script>
            <variable name="reviewResult" access="write"></variable>
            <expression>
               reviewResult = "approved";
            </expression>
         </script>
      </event>
      <transition to="completed"></transition>
   </node>

   <node name="reject">
      <event type="node-enter">
         <script>
            <variable name="reviewResult" access="write"></variable>
            <expression>
               reviewResult = "rejected";
            </expression>
         </script>
      </event>
      <transition to="completed"></transition>
   </node>

   <task-node name="completed">
      <event type="node-enter">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
            <script>
               var mail = actions.create("mail");
               mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties["cm:email"];
               mail.parameters.subject = "Review Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
               mail.parameters.from = bpm_assignee.properties["cm:email"];
               mail.parameters.text= "The article has been " + reviewResult + ".";
               mail.execute(bpm_package);
            </script>
         </action>
      </event>
      <task name="mywf:myCompleteReviewTask" swimlane="initiator"></task>
      <transition name="" to="end"></transition>
   </task-node>

   <end-state name="end"></end-state>

I don't get any error messages, the mail just isn't sent out.

It finally works. Found a typo error in the emailadres of my admin account that I used to start the workflow… ops:
Hours of searching… Finally I got a bunch of emails claiming a DNS error. This way the email was sent to a wrong domain… Time to go home and get some sleep I guess. Obviously I wasn't awake. :mrgreen:
