Thanks!

Hi,
If I got you right, you want to send and email when a user upload a content, if so,
you can do it with the help of the rules,

in rule defintion:
set the sondition to "All items", (or any other condition)
set the action to "Send an email to specified users",

hope it helps,
FSB

Are you mainly interested in how to attach a file to an email, or how to send an email anyway?
Is sending a plain email with a URL to the file in the repository an option for you?

A space-rule could execute a javascript action that sends an email pointing to the document. The javascript would probably look something like:

var mail = actions.create('mail');
mail.parameters.to = 'a@b.com'; // or maybe person.properties["cm:email"];
mail.parameters.from = 'alfresco@system.com';
mail.parameters.subject = 'Please Review this Document';
mail.parameters.text = 'Blah blah blah\n\n';
mail.parameters.text += 'Doc: http://www.srv.com/alfresco/d/a/workspace/SpacesStore/a9...fd/doc.pdf';
mail.execute(document);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I want to know what is 'document' in last line,
mail.execute(document);

I tried it but i am not able to run it successfully, i need to define 'documnet'.

The MailActionExecuter does not support attachments, though it is easy to rewrite it to handle attachments.

Basically, this is how you extend it:

for (final NodeRef attachmentNodeRef : attachments) {
                  
                  final MimeBodyPart attachment = new MimeBodyPart();
                  attachment.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new DataSource() {
   
                     public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException {
                        ContentReader reader = contentService.getReader(attachmentNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT);
                        return reader.getContentInputStream();
                     }
   
                     public OutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException {
                        throw new IOException("Read-only data");
                     }
   
                     public String getContentType() {
                        return contentService.getReader(attachmentNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT).getMimetype();
                     }
   
                     public String getName() {
                        return nodeService.getProperty(attachmentNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_NAME).toString();
                     }
                     
                     
                  }));
                  
                  attachment.setFileName(nodeService.getProperty(attachmentNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_NAME).toString());
                  
                  content.addBodyPart(attachment);
                  
                  
               }

This assumes that you somehow has passed the nodes representing the attachments to the action, for example as a parameter.
