Hi all.

I'm working on a Javascript that basically notifies a set of users when document(s) come into a folder. And I'm just using the basic action script action found in on the Wiki to do it.

   var mail = actions.create("mail");
   mail.parameters.to = "davidc@alfresco.com";
   mail.parameters.subject = "Hello from JavaScript";
   mail.parameters.from = "davidc@alfresco.com";
   mail.parameters.template = root.childByNamePath("Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/notify_user_email.ftl");
   mail.parameters.text = "some text, in case template is not found";
   // execute action against a document    
   mail.execute(doc);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What I'd like to know is, is it possible to add multiple recipients to this action? For example:

mail.parameters.to = "davidc@alfresco.com; test@alfresco.com";‍

I have tried this approach before and it didn't work, so in the end I had to resort to a method call and run the same block of code multiple times depending on how many people I want to email. Any have any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

I know you asked that question a while ago and I guess you found the answer to it, but for anyone else wondering the same here is the answer.

There's another parameter for the "mail" function that hold various recipients and it's an alternative to the "to" parameter. It's the to_many parameter.

The value passed to that parameter can be a group or an array of person objects.

Hope this helps,
