Hello,

You have to add this to "alfresco-global.properties":


###Configuración email para envío de correos genéricos y flujos de trabajo —Álex 01/05/2015— (Grupo Maviva)###
mail.host=(smtp server)
mail.port=25
mail.username= (user)
mail.password= (password)
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default= (default email; for example alfresco@domain.com)
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.timeout =30000
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Moreover, if you add the following:


notification.email.siteinvite=true
‍‍‍

You will activate the email invitations sites.

Hi Alex

The emails for Site Invite are being sent out.
The problem is with Workflows …
- I create a workflow
- I assign it to John for review
- John is not receiving any email telling him that a workflow has been assigned to him.
- So John does not know unless he looks at his dashboard.
- So John looks and finds this task assigned to him
- He responds …
- Surely, I am supposed to get an email saying John has responded to the workflow.
- I do not get this email - so I also do not know of this event.

See what I mean?

Hi Jay,
Are you getting any errors in the log files?
Can you please enable degbugger logs in the log4j.properties file?

All.

Thanks for your assistance. I have solved the problem by editing the Alfresco-global.properties and adding:
### E-mail site activity setting ###
activities.feed.notifier.repeatIntervalMins=5

Cheers!

Did you enable e-mail configuration properties in alfresco-global.properties?
