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.
We are looking at using Activiti as a bpm engine for our organization, one of our core requirement is to be able to approve a task using Email. Does activity support this feature? I would appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction to get this information.
-Thanks
Hi Vijay C,
Yes, it is definitely possible.
One way I can think of is:
You may send a Mail on Task Assignment with relevant Task Actions, On click of which you can hit custom services through REST api and complete the task.

This is a very standard pattern, approving via SMS or email.
The best way I have found to achieve this is to use the Camel module.
Setup a Camel endpoint to monitor a specific email or SMS address (Camel already has endpoints for this) and then add a camel route to send an approval message.If it is possible to have multiple instances waiting for approval mails, add a correlation key (such as the execution ID) that you can use to correlate the message.
Again, this is a very standard pattern.
Greg
