Implementation of Email Digest

[nirvanvjain]

Hi Folks and Alfresco Team,

I have well used the Alfresco's outbound Email functionality by successfully configured in to alfresco-global.properties.

How to implement EMAIL DIGEST on per day bases (Per day 1 Mail for the subscribed activities) ? [The one which Alfresco Cloud Team has implemented]

I mean based on certain actions or based on certain condition , only 1 mail of that specific type gets triggered everyday from our Custom Code/Custom Action/Customization ?

Is it directly available through Configuration in Alfresco ? If not, how to implement this very important functionality ?

Any documentation/any forums posts/any wiki would also be very appreciable if contains the guidelines of implementation.

Thanks!

Not sure about the Email Digest but one way you can do it is via Cron job.
You can have scheduler in alfresco which will be invoked at specific time each and it will send the Emails  😎 .

Hello,

I know cron job would be the fair option for scheduling something ; no matter what matter it is !!

but … Let me drill down in to my requirement…

I have say Rating and like Functionality in my customization. Now I want to send a mail to a DOCUMENT OWNER(UPLOADER) stating that today on your document these many persons/users have rated and these many persons have liked it. I am capturing the data for raterlist or liking list but in this stage MAILS get triggered on EVERY RATE/LIKE which is not best practise for ENTERPRISEs. Now I want to make it EMAIL DIGEST for a user Stating a COMPOSITE mail containing everything at the End of DAY …

Hope it helps to help me…

Thanks!
