Send E-mail from custom dashlet

[sokolko]

Hello all!
I'm developing a custom dashlet for alfresco share and in some point I want to send an e-mail from my javascript code (for example, from my dashlet "OnReady" function), so I tried using the solution that worked fine in workflow definition:

     
onReady: function MyDashlet_onReady()
      {
         alert("ready");
         var mail = actions.create("mail");
          mail.parameters.to = "sokolko@*****.ru";
          mail.parameters.from = "sokolko@*****.ru";
         mail.parameters.subject = "Alfresco";
         mail.parameters.text = "TEST";
          mail.execute();
         alert("sent");
      },
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it doesn't work. JS console says "actions" is not defined. Does anyone know how can e-mail be sent in the correct way?

Hi,
your code should work if you put it as a web script deployed on the repository side. Then you could call it from you dashlet deployed on the Share side.
