E-mail notification - workflow

Could anyone help me to configure the simple email notification through Workflow?  For example when new records are added then send an email to notify certain users that new records are added.
I am good with the notification step in the workflow but not sure what are the other configuration needed.  Is there any email server configuration is needed?
Anyone  can help me to list all the configuration steps for this?
Thanks
Mike

Hi there
Steps needed:
1. Mail server setting for enabling MDS to send emails. For this in the mds.ini file you need to add the mail server name and domain.
2. Define users in MDM with correct mail IDs active for the mail server defined in step1.
3. Use Notify step with users/roles which you have already done.

    can a notification be cancelled from Mailer notification workflow based on item_key or notification_id?yes,
    Workflow Adminstrator --> Status Monitor --> Provide 'Internal Name'(check wf_notification table to get it against nid) and Item Key
    Click workflow Detail tab and if workflow is active then you will see cancel workflow tab at bottom left.

  • Better way of Sending E-Mail Notifications -- Workflow or Function Module ?

    Hi All,
    I have an implicit enhancement written in a t-code and based on some conditions I am creating event which inturn will trigger the workflow which inturn send e-mail notification via send mail step.
    My question is:
    Which one of the ways is better in terms of performance or overhead to send an e-mail notification. (There are no Approval processes in the workflow.. Just One Step E-mail Notification).
    1) In the Implicit Enhancement, Trigger an event which inturn will trigger the workflow and e-mail is sent via send mail step.
    2) In the Implicit Enhancement, Send the e-mail notification via standard function modules available... such as
       "SO_OBJECT_SEND", "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1".........
    Would be grateful if someone can post the Advantages and Disadvantages in the above 2 ways of sending e-mail notifications..
    Regards,
    PR.

    Just to throw in some additional factors, consider exception handling:
    An event-based send mail step is decoupled and thus independent of your application. This means your exception handling is separate. It means you do not need to hold up the transaction if there is a failure. All this depends on how important the mail is. You could of course add validation code to ensure the mail address is valid and send it elsewhere if not.
    Regarding performance, consider how often this happens. If it's an infrequent occurrence then I wouldn't worry about performance. Hundreds or thousands a day is a different story.
    So the answer is:
    Workflow for low-volume scenarios (low performance impact) that are important (better error handling in WF),
    Direct mail for high volume and noncritical
    In between these, use whatever you like
    One more thing to perhaps consider the future. What are the chances of the mail being replaced by a work item in furture? Sometimes it's only by observing a process after go live that you can identify the best solution. e.g. you may decide to replace the mail with a "Please go fix this" work item because you need deadline monitoring

  • Can a workflow e-mail notif. only show fields that have changed?

    I'd like to send an e-mail to an end user whenever any field in a Solution has changed. The e-mail notification workflow for my Solution works and starts out like this:
    (PRE('<ModifiedDate>') &lt;&gt; [<ModifiedDate>]) AND...
    However, I run into max character limitation in the e-mail message body. (will look at ToChar next) What I tried to do was display the new and previous values for the fields. This worked till I reached the char limits. Even if I could key in all the lines of characters necessary for this, the mail recipient would have to carefully go through all the fields and compare them to see which one(s) has changed. This takes too much time for the end user to do.
    Is there I way (using a single workflow) to display in an e-mail only the fields that have changed? I've looked through the posts and have not yet found an answer. Thanks.
    Edited by: user11167975 on Jun 16, 2009 1:34 PM

    You can resolve this by creating One workflow for each field or a small group of fields you want to track. Only thing is the user may receive more than one email reguarding the same Solution.

  • E-mail notification in SRM 7.0 for Shopping Cart Workflow

    Hi Gurus
    We have a requirement in SRM 7.0 Process Controlled Workflow.
    1. To send E-mail notification to  approver Outlook / lotus notes in case of SC goes for approval. 
    2. Incase SC is rejected by the approver then the E-mail notification has to be send to the creator of SC.
    How do we configure this E-mail Notification in SRM 7.0 . Also , how do we include Customized E-Mail text while sending these notifications.
    Kindly let me know .

    Hi Ashish,
    Look out for this path ..
    SPRO-> SRM Server-> cross application->event and event schema for alert management
    in Define events look for Approval_process_doc_rejected and Approval_process_doc_approved
    you can check for event control enter event Approval_process_doc_rejected Or Approval_process_doc_approved
    and event category, event sub category
    also...see Define receipeint of notifications -> here you can configure the receipeint  in case of approval / rejection.

    Hi Bharat,
    your steps seems to be correct. Just try to ping your mail server, to verify if your mail server is running up, besides note that mdm go throw port 25 for sending emails, so please check if you are able to send emails using port 25 in your network.

  • Regarding Mail notification in standard Workflow WS20000075

    Hi Experts,
    I am using the standard workflow to send mail to releaser for PO release. The task TS20000168 sends a mail notification to the PO creator saying that the PO is released after every release done by the concerned persons. Now the user requirement is that they want a mail notification to the PO creator only after final release. They dont want notification after each release. Only when the final releaser releases the PO, the creator should get a notification.
    They want to stop the intermediate mail notifications of PO releases.
    Can anybody suggest how to make the changes in this standard workflow ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Umang,
    Thanks for your reply. I have 2 doubts about this.
    1.) Is it fine if I change the event of this standard workflow itself. i.e. from RELEASESTEPCREATED to RELEASED ?
    2.)If I create a customised workflow & if I change the event from  RELEASESTEPCREATED to RELEASED then will it send the mail to PO releaser for each release, because the current process to send mail to each releaser is a must, only the confirmation for each PO reelase should be stopped.
    Please suggest .

  • E Mail Notification in SAP MDM Workflow

    Dear Experts,
    We have a scenario regarding E Mail Notification, in which we need your inputs on the below issues:
    1. We are able to maintain the list of users manually for Email Notify step, but we need to maintain the list of users as dynamically. So that it will be helpful in reducing the human errors.
    2. We have to send Email only if there is a change or creation of records based on a value of a particaular qualified lookup link.
    eg, A look up qualified link for regions which has possible values as "Region1", "Region2" and "Region 3". So we want that if a record gets created with "Region1" then only notification should be sent else no notification.
    Please provide your solution on the above issues.
    Thanks and Regards
    Gaurav Kumar Sharma

    Hi
    Scenario 1:
    I dont think we have an option of dynamic users list (based on Role) in e-mail notification but you can do one thing you can add multiple e-mail ids for a single user with a ";" seperator under users-> e-mail in console. please give a try and see if it helps.
    Scenario 2:
    Design a workflow which has Trigger Actions on Record Add,Record Update
    Start -> Branch step -> (FALSE)Stop                    
                       ->(TRUE) Notify  -> Stop
    In the branch step use the validation with the below code. This will take care of the notifiction when there is a Region1 added to the lookup table.
    HAS_ANY_VALUES(Regions.Region.[Record], Regions [Region1] ) AND
    LEFT(Updated Date,16)= LEFT(SYSTIME(0),16 )

  • How to see the "display name" at workflow e-mail notification?

    Hi all,
    I would like to see the “display name” instead of the e-mail address when I receive a workflow e-mail notification. It seems to be something likes that:
    From: “KM Notification System” <[email protected]>
    <b>Is it possible to configure the e-mail notification to do it?</b>
    PS.: I already tried to configure the e-mail notification at UME configuration (using config tool) and replaced “[email protected]” with ““KM Notification System” <[email protected]>”. But, after restart the server I’m still receiving workflow e-mail notification without the “display name” appearing.
    Thanks in advanced,
    Alcides Flach

    Hi,
    I solved the problem. Its is working now.
    I've replaced the notificator.EMAIL* [email protected] with “KM Notification System” <[email protected]> and it works fine.

  • Send Custom Mail Notifications to Author/Creator when workflow ends

    Hello All,
    I am working on workflows and I want to send a mail notification to the "Author/Creator" when the workflow finishes.
    Currently, UCM workflows do not provide this functionality Out-Of-The-Box.
    For this I implemented a filter and hooked it to the event +"advanceDocumentStateMarkWorkflowFinished"+ event.
    Now I am able to send mail using the following code:
    InternetFunctions.sendMailTo(email, "DynamicPrefixTemplate","Workflow Notifications", cxt);
    However, I am not able to retrieve the author name to whom I have to send the notification. I found that "databinder" object (passed as param) in method signature below doesn't contain the author name attribute.
    public int doFilter(Workspace ws, DataBinder binder, ExecutionContext cxt)
    I can see other attributes such as dId, dName etc. but not the "dAuthor". Can someone please suggest how can I retrieve the author name for the document for which workflow has just finished and notify the author..
    I know there are services like getDocumentByName, but I do not know can I call these services from my filter code in Java. Please guide me.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Aakash

    Hi,
    If what you need is to send a notification to the original author, you do not need to write custom code, you can follow these steps:
    1) on the first step, assign the dDocAuthor to a workflow variable. As an example, on the Entry event if the first step add this code:
    <$wfSet("originalAuthor",dDocAuthor)$>
    Note that you need the previous step only if you allow revisions during your workflow. If you don't, then dDocAuthor would not change and you can skip that step
    2) on the last step, send a notification using the variable we saved on the first step as the addresee. As an example, on the on Exit event add this code:
    <$wfNotify(originalAuthor,"user")$>
    (if you do not allow revisions, substitute originalAuthor by dDocAuthor)
    Another thing, a lot of people run into the need to override the standard email templates when they start sending custom notifications. The workflow administration guide has a very nice and detailed section that explains how to do this. Also, the idocscript reference guide is always a good point to check the correct syntax for idocscript functions. There is a section of workflow related functions/variables in that guide that always comes in handy.
    Hope this helps.

  • MDM Workflow / E-mail Notification Issues

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on a client that is using the SAP Portal to kickoff a workflow to notify the requestor when creating a vendor (with the vendor number that gets created when it reaches SAP). They did have MDM 7.1 connected to an SAP 4.7 system. Now they are upgrading to ECC 6.0 and we're in the middle of unit testing. For some reason, the e-mail notifications are not working while our Dev environment is connected to ECC 6...not sure why. I've checked all of the workflows / roles / e-mails, everything is exactly the same as it is in 4.7.
    Our workflow looks similar to this: requestor creates / edits a vendor through the Enterprise portal --> approver approves record --> record is sent to ECC 6.0 --> once created successfully in ECC 6.0, an email is sent to the requestor with a vendor number (if it is a vendor create) or and e-mail letting the requestor know the changes have been posted successfully to SAP.
    I've checked the MDS.ini file for any kind of information that needs to be updated for being connected to this new environment...I can't see anything. Is there a different file on the MDM server with e-mail / server info?
    Any clues as to why it may not be working in this new environment? I'm assuming pinging the server wouldn't do much good since it is still working in QA and Production, just not Dev where we are currently testing the 6.0 system.
    Thanks for your consideration!
    Nichole

    Kanstantsin -
    In response to your questions..
    1)
    Are you sure that your smtp server is working? It is workiing for Production in SAP 4.7, just not Dev ECC 6.0...so I am assuming it is working since it is on the same server.
    What happen when you launch your workflow with e-mail notification(Did you get error message in your repository logs?) ?
    Could you to send e-mail through it from your e-mail program? There was only one workflow that errored out out of approx. 20 due to e-mail. Most are stuck in workflow at 'check in and send e-mail to user'. The one that did have an error said "Could not send e-mail rc = 4294967284 MDM Server Error" Yet, there is nothing in the MDSS log...
    If your answer -no, please check, launch, configure, install your smpt server. It must be installed, right? If it works in production...
    If your answer -yes, go to step 2
    2)
    In mds.ini file in your repository block should be string like this :"Mail Server=your mail host name" It says Mail Server= (there is nothing there)...
    Where your mail host name = your smtp server name, something like "mailhost.your_domain.com" or your smtp server IP adress
    if that step is OK...I do not see this in the MDS.ini file...
    3) load MDM console, login to your repository and check check your e-mail receiver (user) and it e-mail adress- Is it correct? Yes
    4) load Data Manager - open Workflow and check user accessibility from your e-mail step. Everything Looks correct here also...

  • Status mail notifications in workflows

    Hello
    Is there a possibility to set a general value like "vibe notification" that is displayed as sender at mail notifications. The default vibe setting is that always the creator of the entry is displayed as the sender, which is not practical for us.
    Thx + best regards

    Hi Thomas,
    you need to set:
    ssf.outgoing.from.address=vibe_notification@myvibe .com
    in the file [vibe]/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf-ext.properties. You need to restart Vibe to see changes.
