Hi,I'm new in activiti BPM and try to understand how are working things.I am designing a really simple process that has 1 user task… When the user tasks starts I want to send a simple email to some people to inform him that the task has been assigned…To do this I'm using an activiti subprocess calle

Hi,

Maybe TaskListener http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html#taskListeners is an alternative for your requirement.

So you mean that I have to add a listener to the task…

I want to start an activiti subprocess that I called "Send-email" and that is having an input parameter called "mailto" that is a string…

Can I use expressions to do that ?

if yes, how would it looks like (I added a snapshot of what how I did it)…

if no, then how can I define the activiti subprocess to invoke and how to pass him the parameter ?

Can you help me showing me an example of that ?

Thanks very much

What you need is a callActivity, and pass the variables you want to use in that called process.
