Plans to include mail attachment ability to Send Mail task via UI?

[mgundrum]

From everything I've read on these forums, Activiti does not currently include functionality out-of-box to attach uploaded documents to the Send Email task. Can anyone confirm whether or not there is any plan to implement this, or whether the best option would be to develop a java solution to this end? Thanks!

Hello Mitch,

Assuming you are referring to Alfresco Process Services (Enterprise software from Alfresco), attachment is not an OOTB feature. I'm not sure if it is in the roadmap. You can check with Alfresco via the support portal & even raise a feature request if not already in the roadmap.

If you are looking for a Java example, I have a Send Email Stencil that can handle attachments in this example

The java class behind this can be found at CustomEmailService.java. This example also leverages the email template features in the product so that you can keep the template content outside of the process model (xml).

Cheers,
