Hi folks,I have written a workflow that sends email to reviewers along with actionable links. The email is being sent fine, but I can't seem to extract the taskid from workflow process variables. Here is an example of my codemail.parameters.text = "Please review and if you like the changes, approv

Hi.
I have the same problem.

I can't read de taskId, but i can't read the taskInstance.id too.

So i can't imagine how to know the task Id on a node of the processdefinition.

I am using Alfresco Enterprise 2.1

Thanks

Hi lads,

I get the solution to solve your problem :

If you wanna send a mail with a link to the manage task you can do it like this.

      <task-node name="reviewX">
         <event type="task-create">
         <script>
            <variable name="myTaskId" access="read,write" /> 
             <expression>myTaskId = "jbpm$"+ executionContext.getTaskInstance().getId();</expression>
            </script>
          <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
             <script>
               <!–  create mail action–>
               var mail = actions.create("mail");
               var mydoc=bpm_package.children[0]; 
                 var gpeSender = new Array();
               gpeSender[0]="GROUP_Y";           
               mail.parameters.to_many = gpeSender;
               mail.parameters.subject = "[SG]Un document est ÃƒÂ  valider";
               mail.parameters.from = "alfresco@knowings.com";
                  var myTemplate=companyhome.childByNamePath("Dictionnaire des DonnÃƒÂ©es/ModÃƒÂ¨les d'Emails/workflow/newTask_workflow_mail.ftl");
               var args = new Array();
               args["id"]=myTaskId;
               args["type"]="reviewX";
               mail.parameters.text = mydoc.processTemplate(myTemplate,args);
               <!– execute action against a document–>    
               mail.execute(bpm_package);
                 </script>
            </action>       
       </event>
      
          <task name="mytask1" swimlane="myswimlane" />   
        <transition name="approve" to="reviewY"></transition>
           <transition name="reject" to="revise"></transition>
     </task-node>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note that you have to pick-up the TaskId in the event-type "task-create" otherwise it will not work at all.

You'll also find in the code the way to pass the task-id to the content of the mail. This is done by calling the method process-template() with args.

Hopes it will help you

Hi,
I'm interested to this topic why I want to send an email from template, and pass to this template some params.
I try the code that you've posted, but I can't read the args parameter inside the template.
This is my node inside the WF that send the mail:

<start-state name="Start">
      <task name="wfTria:inizio" swimlane="initiator"></task>
      <event type="node-leave">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
            <runas>admin</runas>
            <script>
               try {
                  var mail = actions.create("mail");
                  <!– mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email; –>
                  mail.parameters.to = "enrico_zeranto@mytria.it";
                  mail.parameters.subject = "[Afresco] Ti è stato assegnato un workflow";
                  <!– Creazione template –>
                  var myTemplate=companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Email Templates/wf_invitation.ftl");
                  var args = new Array();
                                                args["wf_name"]="Opportunity";
                                        mail.parameters.text = bpm_package.children[0].processTemplate(myTemplate,args);
                     
                  <!– Testo del messaggio alternativo al template, nel caso in cui non venga trovato –>
                  mail.parameters.text = initiator.properties.firstName + " "
                  + initiator.properties.lastName + " ti ha assegnato un workflow.
                  \u000D\u000D" + "Accedi alla console Alfresco per visualizzare i task
                  a te assegnati";
                  mail.execute(bpm_package);
                  
               } catch (e){
                  logger.log("node [Start], error durante l'invio della mail di segnalazione di attivazione WF." + e);
               }
              </script>
         </action>
      </event>
      <transition to="Decidi numero e nome progetto"></transition>
   </start-state>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And this the tempalte:

Sei stato assegnato ad un workflow.

<#– Accedi alla console Alfresco (${url.serverPath}${url.context}) per visualizzare i task a te assegnati. –>

<#assign keys = args?keys>
<#list keys as arg>      
   ${arg}
</#list>  
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And the mail is not send.

Can you help me or post your template that read args params?

Thank you

I've solved, I rewrite the emai.text after the generate template… ops:
