Attach a document into an email

[mvicidomini]

Hello all,

i would like to attach a document when it is uploaded to alfresco. I know that there is the default notification from the workflow but for internal reason my customers ask me to attach the original document into an email. I have writen a small script but i don't manage to attach the document does somebody has a solution thanks a lot.

var mail = actions.create("mail");
var docName = document.properties["name"];
var siteShortName = document.siteShortName;
//var mySite = getSite(shortName);
var prop = document.properties["nodeRef"]
mail.parameters.to = "MY EMAIL";
mail.parameters.subject = "Ajout de document";
mail.parameters.from = "MY EMAIL";
mail.parameters.text = "Ajout du document " + docName + "Sur le site: "+siteShortName+" Projet : "+space.name ;
mail.execute(document);

Hi Everyone,
I need to attach multiple documents in an workflow using javascript.
I have no idea about that as I am very new to it.
I appreciate, if anyone can help me in this regard.

Or, if I get any way to attach document to an existing workflow dynamically.

Regards
Ruchin Sharma

Hi,

I have tried your approach but I face problem with

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'fg-mail' is defined

I think that fg-mail (mail) is derivate that you mentioned.

Is it that one from Savic Prvoslav which you forward?

Could you please send it to me edo_nick@azet.sk

Thanks in advance

Hi. I have tried to use this javascript in workflow script task.

Workflow failed with exception

javax.script.ScriptException: ReferenceError: "actions" is not defined in <eval> at line number 1

This line contains: var mail = actions.create("fg-mail");

Javascript in Workflows execute in a different context to Javascript in Alfresco and it seems Alfresco “actions” are not defined in that context. Alfresco workflow is Activiti which has some common objects, but not that many it would seem.

I have very little experience of workflow but this does not surprise me and I doubt that you could easily make Alfresco “actions” available in workflow.

To use my action you could use the following workaround:-

· Create a rule on the folder that contains the documents that will be in your workflows. It can be a set of folders & sub folders of course.

· Create a custom aspect called anything you like but let’s call it “sendmail” with properties mailsent (Boolean) and mailsentat (date).

· Get your workflow to add this aspect to your document when you want to send your email.

· Get you rule to check if this aspect exists on your document whenever your document is updated and if the aspect doesn’t exists add it, send the mail and update the properties. If the aspect does exist, check the values and see if mailsent is true. If it isn’t, send the mail and update the properties.

Now; I suspect that you could make my special mail object available in Activiti via configuration, but that is well beyond my paygrade.
