Email Notifications in workflows

[jays]

Hi

I am a newbie to Alfresco and have just installed v5 Community and everything is working except email notifications within Workflows.

The workflows themselves appear to be working, but no one gets an email informing them there is a workflow task to attend to.

The checkbox is ticked in the workflow for email notifications.

Is there somewhere else I need to enable this?

Would really appreciate your assistance.

Thanks!

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?
