For your own custom activity workflow, you can use OOB avaiable mail action in yor task and can have mail subject as per your requirement

Please check OOB workflow - adhoc process defination file.

               
                  <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                        
                        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);
                     }

Thanks a lot for your help, Niketa!

I was wondering if I can use a well-formatted Freemarker template with this action: I would like to use a similar template as the OOB one.
Do you know if that is possible?

Thanks again,
Carlo

Yeah, You can do that


mail.parameters.template = root.childByNamePath("Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/your_template.ftl");

EDIT: I dont find wiki but you can check this class for all possible parameters and how tht works

org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.MailActionExecuter
