notify using email that user has a task to do...

[jcosano]

Hello…

My target is send an email to task assigned user. And in the email put a link to the task, using:

http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer/start?taskId=XXX

Problem, if i put Email Task, before UserTask, I don't have taskId. true?

If I use timerEvent in user task, (for send email), I have a "duration" delay for first email, and after I send email every "duration" time.

Any idea to solve this? or workaround?

thanks!

Email notifications when a task is assigned to someone will be a feature built in into activti, you can follow progress on this in ACT-32, http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-32.

In the mean while, I don't see a workaround immediately. Perhaps you can find a way to make the timer-event only send a mail once (by setting an execution-variable or something), just thinking out loud though

Hi,

Will this feature be built into 5.0.0GA? The "fix version" on the JIRA ticket is blank.

Many thanks.

The best option for the moment I think that is:

- Fork with two branches.

branch 1: user task
branch 2: service + mail

service: obtain task id (branch 1) and send email or pass value using variable to node mail.

I suppose that this maybe work and I can wait for this improve.

thanks!!
