E-mail notification not working in workflow

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

Assuming I have to include the email notification into the process definition, what I think I have to do is add the following to each task_node in the workflow in order for a mail to be sent automatically to the owner of the task as each task is initiated.

Does we need to do any other configuration?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="wft:review">

    <swimlane name="initiator"></swimlane>

    <start-state name="start">
        <task name="wft:submitReviewTask" swimlane="initiator" />
        <transition name="" to="review">
       <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
           <script>
         var mail = actions.create('mail');
         mail.parameters.to = 'shakeeb@hydhtc75657.com'; // or maybe person.properties["cm:email"];
         mail.parameters.from = 'shakeeb@hydhtc75657.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); 
         
           </script>
         </action>
       </transition>
    </start-state>

 <swimlane name="assignee">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{bpm_assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>
    <task-node name="review">

        <task name="wft:reviewTask" swimlane="assignee">
           
        </task>
        <transition name="reject" to="rejected" />
        <transition name="approve" to="approved">
            
        </transition>
    </task-node>           
    <task-node name="rejected">
        <task name="wft:rejectedTask" swimlane="initiator" />
        <transition to="end" />
    </task-node>

    <task-node name="approved">
        <task name="wft:approvedTask" swimlane="initiator" />
        <transition to="submitted" />
    </task-node>

<task-node name="submitted">
        <event type="node-enter">
           <action class="org.alfresco.repo.avm.wf.AVMSubmitPackageHandler"/>
           <action class="org.alfresco.repo.avm.wf.AVMDeployHandler"/>
        </event>
        <task name="wft:submittedTask" swimlane="initiator" />
        <transition name="" to="end" />
    </task-node>
    <end-state name="end"/>

</process-definition>

Hi Bel,

i have  given following  entry in repository.properties placed at C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco

# Email configuration
mail.host=servername
mail.port=2511
mail.username=admin
mail.password=admin
# Set this value to UTF-8 or similar for encoding of email messages as required
mail.encoding=UTF-8
# Set this value to 7bit or similar for Asian encoding of email headers as required
mail.header=
mail.from.default=email id

But still i am not getting email notification working in process_definition.xml .
