You should take a look at 'execution listeners' or 'task listeners'.

They allow you to do exactly that.

Hi

I need one clarification…. how do we call email service task inside 'execution listeners' or 'task listeners' . Or is it that we should write our own Java classes to send the email.

Thanks in advance
Krish

Hi

We can use in the following manner as well, using the org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.MailActivityBehavior as execution listener:

This works as well

Thank you
Krish
