Hi All,

I Have a business requirement where I need to send Email Notification along witht he Email templates.

I have a JavaScript code using which i was able to send the mails from the Workflow using the code below.

                                                                              var mail = actions.create("mail");
                mail.parameters.to = emailAddress;
                mail.parameters.subject = "Please review this task" + bpm_workflowDescription;
                mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
                var mailSubject = mail.parameters.subject;
                logger.log("mailSubject: " + mailSubject);
                mail.parameters.template = companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Email Templates/notify_user_email.ftl");
                var mailMatter = mail.parameters.text;
                mail.parameters.text = "sdffdsfsdf";
                mail.execute(bpm_package);

How can I use the same code in webscripts to send email.

please help me

Thanks & Regards,
Anwar

HI mrogers,

Thanks fo the quick reply.

I have tried the above mentioned code to send Email notifications, but I have the problem with the mail.execute() method. The mail.execute() method requires an input parameter called 'bpm_package' or 'NodeRef' object how can I get these objects into my webscripts.

Thanks & Regards,
Anwar

Check out the example adhoc workflow in …\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow\adhoc_processdefinition.xml
It has the following code:

      <transition name="" to="completed">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
           <script>
              if (wf_notifyMe)
              {
                 var mail = actions.create("mail");
                 mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
                 mail.parameters.subject = "Adhoc Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
                 mail.parameters.from = bpm_assignee.properties.email;
                 mail.parameters.text = "It's done";
                 mail.execute(bpm_package);
              }
           </script>
         </action>
      </transition>

This is an old thread, but didn't give a satisfactory answer for me. Since I figured out a simple solution I thought I would post it. Assuming that you have a "person" that you are sending e-mail to (or a logged-in user) you have a NodeRef (the person) quite handy. For example:


var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = thePerson.properties["cm:email"];
mail.parameters.subject = "Your user name";
mail.parameters.from = "admin@mysite.com";
mail.parameters.text = "Your user name is: '" + thePerson.properties['cm:userName'] + "'.";
mail.execute(thePerson);
