Emailing workflow comments

ph73nt — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:29:52 GMT

Dear listersI like my workflows to email users at each stage (my company does not have (and will not switch to) email software supporting RSS feeds). I have created a workflow with task-nodes for multiple users and I would like to be able to access their comments at each stage for emailing.Workflow

I've had good success doing it like this… This way, you will get whatever is the "last" comment, wherever you are in the workflow:


var comment = "";
if (token.comments != null &amp;&amp; token.comments.size() &gt; 0) {
    comment = token.comments.get(token.comments.size() - 1).message;
}

Thanks,

that code did the trick. The first couple of times I tried it I didn't get any change. There must have been a problem with my workflow in another respect or with my deployment.

Many thanks again.
