Email Notification from a Workflow

Hi,
I'm trying to send an email to specific email addresses using a Workflow and in the 'To' field I'm selecting 'Specific Email Address' and am entering a value like...
"[email protected]" + ";" + [<FieldName>] (with box brackets [] around <FieldName>)
...however upon saving the Workflow, I get the error 'Valid email required'.
I tried various combinations (including uisng various non-custom/custom fields) but to no avail. I even tried simply [<FieldName>](with box brackets [] around <FieldName>), but that did not work either.
Evidently it works only when I take out the [<FieldName>] from the expression. Would you know anything about this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi IR,
According to My Oracle Support (Doc ID 872917.1), "...you will also get this error message when entering a formula in the "specific email address" field. Currently it only works with one or two email addresses within single or double quotes. This has been logged as CR 12-1UFAJBV and will be fixed with patch 1080.0.01."
I would recommend asking Customer Care to add you to the notification list for updates on CR 12-1UFAJBV if you wish to be advised when the status changes.

Cameron

How to send email notifications from a workflow?

I am having problems trying to get notification emails to work from a workflow. I have done the following:
1.Checked notification to file is commented out in waveset.properties
2.Set SMTP server and port setting in Configure > Servers > email template
3.Set SMTP and port setting in Account creation notification template.
4.I am then running the following workflow code in reconsiliation per user workflow:
<Action id='0' name='Send Notification' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>
 <Argument name='op' value='notify'/>
 <Argument name='template' value='Account Creation Notification'/>
 <Argument name='type' value='email'/>
 <Argument name='toAddress' value='$(email)'/>
 </Action>I am currently getting an error:com.waveset.util.WavesetException: toAddress must be specified.
Whatever I try I cannot get the email template to pick up the email address for each user from the workflow.
If I add a valid email address into the "toAddress" in the Account Creation Notification email template, the error goes away and reconsile completes, but no email is sent.
Could someone advise what I can look into to sort this and get it working.

You're running into a common IDM bug. I've hit it a few times too. I'm not sure of the root cause (sometimes using notifications as you did works for me sometimes it doesn't) but there's a workflow sub-process called "Notify" that you might look into. It's got a few extra features (such as retries) that the direct provisioning class does not.
Call it using something like the following action:
 <Activity name='Notify User'>
 <Action id='0' name='send notification' process='Notify'>
 <Argument name='template' value=Template'/>
 <Argument name="from" value="[email protected]"/>
 <Argument name='to' value='$(userView.global.email)'/>
 </Action>
 <Transition to='end'/>
 </Activity>

How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

HTML button in the eMail notification sent by Workflow

I have a workflow which send eMail notification to the users. I want to add 2 HTML buttons for approve and reject on this email notification.
For this I have embedded the following HTML snippet in the advanced properties (Message Body) of the email action in the workflow -
<!DOCTYPE html><HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml"><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE> <META content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 10.00.9200.17183"></HEAD> <BODY> <IMG style="TEXT-ALLIGN: left" src="../Site%20Assets/abc_icon.png"> ******************************************         Styled Workflow eMail ****************************************** Full Name: [%Current Item:FullName%] <INPUT id=btnApprove type=button value=Approve>  <INPUT id=btnReject type=button value=Reject></BODY></HTML>
<!DOCTYPE html><HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns:m = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml"><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE> <META content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 10.00.9200.17183"></HEAD>
<BODY> <IMG style="TEXT-ALLIGN: left" src="../Site%20Assets/abc_icon.png"> ******************************************        
Styled Workflow eMail ****************************************** Full Name: [%Current Item:FullName%] <INPUT id=btnApprove type=button value=Approve>  <INPUT id=btnReject type=button value=Reject></BODY></HTML>
However when the user receives the mail, the buttons appear as plain text. Moreover the images are also missing.
Am I missing any specific configuration? Is there anything more that needs to be done to render a HTML button and images in an email generated from a workflow?
I would appreciate, if anyone could please help me resolve this issue.

Hi Arghadip Kar,
Im glad you liked my name. )
Anyhoo, you are correct. A Task is used. I checked in SWI1 and the task associated with the mail is TS90000101. (not a ws) Does this help at all?
In the Business Process, it is the part where the system informs a Training coordinator that a training request by an employee have been approved by his/her manager.
Do I still check the FM below or are there any other way given the info above?
Thank you!

Email notification from workflow?

Dear all,
I am using EBS version is 11.5.8 and database version is 9.2.0.3. We are using workflow to send out email notification once the PO gets approve.
Now, we are going to change SMTPServerName(email server IP) let say from '123.45.66.10' to '999.88.77.66'. What can I change workflow setting so that the email notification will no longer send to the old email server IP, email should be sent to the new email server.
I have try to read lots of document in metalink and it is not working.
Does anyone encounter this before?
Best Regards,
Amy

Email Notifications from Standalone System

Hey gang...
I am still missing one step which I think is a very simple one. My workflows are being kicked off and populating just fine in the Workflow monitor, however, no emails are being generated. I have read several other postings that reference the Oracle Applications Manager, but since I am operating Workflow standalone, I do not believe I have this option.
We are running on Oracle 9i.
We have an SMTP server running but I am not sure that the Workflow is seeing it (the SMTP server was setup AFTER Workflow was installed). I have tried to feed an OpenConnection command within my database trigger to create the connection to the SMTP server (which I think is working...this is a shared SMTP and the other system is getting emails just fine) yet still no emails are going through for me.
I have written a procedure to populate the WF_LOCAL_USER table each time a new user is created in my custom app, and ensure that the correct email address is populated on that table.
I have read that the Notification Mailer is installed and defaulted when Workflow is loaded, yet I am not sure if the SMTP setting needs to be included somewhere in there, rather than having me feed it via script command. All of the documentation I have read kinda glances over this, leading me to believe that it is a one-time, relatively automatic function (that perhaps I somehow messed up).
I have until weeks end to get these emails firing so any suggestions or help on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
Thanks alot!!!!!!
( I apologize if this questions has been answered on a prior thread which I overlooked. If you could point me in the direction of that thread, I would appreciate it!!!!)

Hi,
I also use Oracle Workflow Standalone.
Can you navigate to Oracle Workflow Manager?
You can do this by using Oracle Enterprise Manager.
If you can make sure SMTP server is working right, than can you make sure that the Notification Mailer service is run. It is required if you would like to get the notification from email, otherwise it only available in Oracle Workflow Homepage - Worklist section.
You can check it in Workflow Manager.

Email Notification from OIM 11g

Hi ,
Can anyone please explain in detail steps , how to configure /send notification from SOA . As i need to send notification to end user/manager etc..when an approval workflow is finished .
Regards
Sid

Assuming that you already have an SMTP Server stood up, it's fairly easy. I would visit this site: http://www.orafmwschool.com/gmail-notification-service/
From there, you can skip the whole configuration of the certificates since the example configures Gmail which is over SSL. Since you are only sending email out, just fill out the outbound information.

Email notification from Dynamic 'From' address

Hi,
Can we send emails using Email activity from a dynamic 'From' address? i.e. based on value of a BPEL variable?
I have tried this but always taking from the default From account defined in the Workflow Notification Properties under SOA-Infra-> SOA Admin in Eneterprise Manager.
All receipients (To, cc, Bcc) are working fine as dynamic. but not this 'From'.
Please let me know if we can't send email from a dynamic From Address?
Regards,
Sam
Edited by: Sam on Mar 13, 2012 5:58 AM

Sam,
I don't think we can do that.
I have tried it in the latest version too, but there is no scope to send any email dynamically.
The only thing we can do is chande manually, else tweak the WebLogic portal Java Api and get it changed.
Later one is a bit complex.
Thanks,
TIrumala Dixit.
