Send email from workflow

cloisel

Hi everyone,

I know it's been already asked before, but I can't get it working with any solutions provided on this forum…
I'm trying to send an email from a workflow with no success. I successfully managed to make it work as a webscript:

xxx.get.js:

var node = person;
var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = node.properties.email;
mail.parameters.subject = "TEST Send Mail Webscript";
mail.parameters.text = "test webscript";
mail.execute(node);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I managed the outgoing mail setup and it works fine.

Here is my AlfrescoJS (workflow):

var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
mail.parameters.subject = "TEST Send Mail Workflow";
mail.parameters.text = "test workflow";
var node = bpm_package.children[0];
mail.execute(node);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In examples, I find 2 different syntaxes:

var node = bpm_package;
‍‍‍

and

var node = bpm_package.children[0];
‍‍‍

Which one is the right one? Depends on what?

Thanks in advance for any reply or ideas?

The same script part has been used several times in the process definition (each time the same way).

I took example on adhoc task. Does it work? Because I tried to notify an user with no success. I succeeded in sending mails anyway through webscripts.

Any ideas?

I'm using Alfresco 3.2 r2.

Thanks in advance
