Thanks in advance

If you are interested i can post how i solved but i don't know if you have the same problem i encountered.

I have yet to test if my problem was the template with wrong variables or if it was because my alfresco bootstrap in italian language.
Btw here is my workflow code:


 if (wf_notifyMe)
                                        {
                                        var mail = actions.create("mail");
                                        var template = "Dizionario dei dati/Modelli di e-mail/Modelli di e-mail di notifica/notify_user_assigned_task_email.ftl";
                                        mail.parameters.to = bpm_assignee.properties.email;
                                        mail.parameters.subject = "Compito:  " + bpm_workflowDescription;
                                        mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
                                        mail.parameters.template = companyhome.childByNamePath(template);
                                        mail.execute(bpm_package);
                                        }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And here the template:


<html>
   <head>
      <style type="text/css"><!–
      body
      {
         font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
         font-size: 14px;
         color: #4c4c4c;
      }
     
      a, a:visited
      {
         color: #0072cf;
      }
     
      .activity a
      {
         text-decoration: none;
      }
     
      .activity a:hover
      {
         text-decoration: underline;
      }
      –></style>
   </head>
   
   <body bgcolor="#dddddd">
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#dddddd">
         <tr><td width="100%" align="center"><table width="70%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="white" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;">

   <br></br>
   <br></br></div>
                                                <div style="font-size: 11px; padding: 4px 0px 12px 0px;">

Hope this could help.

Yes, Yours answer is helpful.
Now I can get the template from repository, but I have another question:
Is there any documentation about what model is available in the templete?

That is you use this following line in ftl:

ttivita' assegnata da ${person.properties.firstName}<#if person.properties.lastName?exists> ${person.properties.lastName}</#if>.‍

But in the process definition you don't set the mail.parameters.template_model variable.

Thanks in advance,
Francesco.
