Problem in creating mail service task

[rashmis]

Hi,

I am using Eclipse IDE with the Graphiti plugin installed to create Activiti projects. I am trying to create a Service task which can send emails. From the User guide, it seems like there is NO readily available service type which sends emails, but instead I will have to specify the activity:type="mail" in my XXX.bpmn20.xml and the activiti.properties file. 

This way of creating a mail service task seems dangerous to me as there are chances of the XXX.bpmn20.xml file getting corrupted. Is there any way to acheive this without modifying the bpmn20.xml file ??

Thanks
Rashmi

The email service task will be added to the designer in the very near future, I'm sure 🙂

rashmis,

I have created an issue for adding this node to the designer. We will add this functionality in the near future. You can track the issue here:
