Workflow email notification subject

[cgiuliano]

Hi everybody!
Does anyone know how to customize the subject in the email notifications sent by Activiti workflows?
It appears as it is fixed into the Java class WorkflowNotificationUtils, with no further options than choosing between pooled and not-pulled workflow related texts.
Any suggestion on how to manage customized email subjects for your own Activiti workflows?

Thanks!
Carlo

For your own custom activity workflow, you can use OOB avaiable mail action in yor task and can have mail subject as per your requirement

Please check OOB workflow - adhoc process defination file.

               
                  <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                        
                        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);
                     }

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for your help, Niketa!

I was wondering if I can use a well-formatted Freemarker template with this action: I would like to use a similar template as the OOB one.
Do you know if that is possible?

Thanks again,
Carlo

Yeah, You can do that

mail.parameters.template = root.childByNamePath("Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/your_template.ftl");

EDIT: I dont find wiki but you can check this class for all possible parameters and how tht works

org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.MailActionExecuter

Hope that helps!
