HT2488 Automator email action

Is there a way to send an email in an automator workflow without sendingthe previous actions content? I'd like to notify some people in my group that I've added a file to a folder, but not send them the file, I don't want to fill up their inbox with atachements.

This isn't the sweet spot for email.
Consider switching tactics, and serve the file-change information via RSS (that's a little more work) or (depending on the need for longevity of the notifications) maybe via (networked) Growl.
A content-management system can generate these XML-based notifications, as can the (retiring) iWeb stuff.
Basically, this is something that detects and runs when the containing directory is modified (probably via a Folder Action), and that then either dynamically generates the RSS when the change is made, or that serves up the current data when the RSS query arrives.
This looks fairly close to what you'd want for creating an RSS feed.
And there are ways to generate XML in AppleScript.

Automator Email Actions

Hello,
I have email address in text files. Is there an automator script I can use to send these emails into the two part of an email?

sorry, spaced.
on run {input, parameters}
          tell application "System Events"
                    return name of first item of input
          end tell
end run
P.s. this only work for the first filename. if you want the names of multiple attachments it needs to be revised a bit.

Send automated email notification when record update

Dear all,
I have a requirement where system able to send automated email/SMS alert to customers to update their status of the Service Request. Can we using current workflow for the notification to customer whenever the status being update? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

yes, you can achieve this by using on demand, create a workflow with When a modified record trigger event and in the action select send email.
If at all you want to send email when a status update, write a function like PRE('<Status>') <> [Status]. try it and good luck.

Creating automated email reminders to users every 2 weeks via Workflow 2010 Out of Box approach only

Hi,
I have been asked to automate the email reminders to users (every two weeks) from the SharePoint2010 solution.
I am trying to achieve this via workflow ,but am unable to get the results.
Req :
Twice a month the users should get an automated email reminder for a specific task.
1. On 14th (or last working day in mid month -1) of the month. ( a field "mid month end" captures the date as 15th of the month)
2. On last working day - 1 of the month. ( a field "month end" captures the date as last day of the month)
Please let me know how i can achieve this via Out of box functionality. I donot have exp with workflows so a detailed steps guidlines will be very helpfull.
Regards,
Guru

Although you can start a workflow and then pause it for a number of days, I'd feel uncomfortable with that. If the farm crashes, who guarantees that the paused workflows will pick up where they were left off?
SharePoint does no offer to run a workflow on all items in a list/library -- which I feel is a big draw back.
The good news is that there is a free 3rd party tool that can run a workflow on all (or specific) items in a list or library. It's called the
HarePoint Workflow Scheduler and I love it.
You can create a view that shows the items that you want to run the workflow on.
Or, if you know how to write CAML, you can feed the CAML Query right into the HarePoint Workflow Scheduler task.
At my company we have several sites in production that use the HarePoint Workflow Scheduler with a view.
So, first, create a SharePoint Designer workflow and define it to run manually.
Then use the HarePoint workflow scheduler to define a schedule.
You can define a schedule for the HarePoint tool, like every day, month, week, etc., by just clicking a few boxes.
Since this functionality does not come out of the box with SharePoint 2010, this free tool is a real gem.

ITunes 10.5 breaks automator folder action

Just like itunes10 did
osx 10.6.8
itunes 10.5
automator folder action with itunes tasks no longer works after 10.5 update.
Is it the version check again?

Unfortunately, it seems that this is a cross-platform problem between iTunes 10.5 and all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

Attach to email action not working in reader X

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 with a button to execute the "attach to email" action. This button works fine when in Acrobat Pro 8, but when I view it in Reader X, nothing happens when I press the button.
I need to do it this way as the email address won't be constant.
I'm running Windows 7.

I found an answer to my own question:
1. Create a button and select Submit a Form as your action.
2. Select PDF The complete document (to have the document attached as a PDF document)
3. In the URL link type: mailto: (This will open an email but have no email address selected)
4. If you want to customise the subject line then type: mailto:?subject=yoursubjecthere
This works in reader unlike executeMenuItem.

Workflow: Automated email when field(date) is updated

Gentlemen,
I am trying to implement a workflow were an automated email is send as soon as a specific date is updated. The update happens via webservice.
While testing the following criteria: [<date>] <> PRE('<date>') I found that it only sends an email when the previous value was not null. Updating from one date to the other works fine.
Since we are always updating the complete account record when a field changes in our ERP app, simply have it trigger on changes doesn't work. The workflow has to make sure the previous value was different from the new value.
I have also tried other combinations using [<date>] IS NOT NULL, however I would again need the previous expression to verify the value actually changed.
Anybody have a good workflow at hand for this type of set up?
Thanks & best regards,
Ben

Hi Ben,
You need to check for both expressions:
" (PRE('<YourField>') = [<YourField>] OR FieldValue('<YourField>') IS NULL) "
You check whether it's changed or was previously empty using the "OR" statement.
Thanks

Using Automator Folder Actions

I have an automator folder action that runs to take any pdf file dumped in to the folder, send to the printer and then delete it.
How do I make this run on a server that I'm not logged in to (effectively as a service), so that if a pdf file is generated somewhere on the network (maybe even a PHP script on a web site hosted on this server) and copied to this folder it still auto prints to the network printer?

I'm using a hot folder to import to Aperture as well, and also had the same problems when I try to configure it.
I solve it by creating an action in Automator that will copy all the images from the memory card to a temp folder when a card is inserted in the card reader. At the end of the action all the files inside the temp folder are moved to the actual hot folder, as you said this is almost instant so works perfectly.
So basicly the workaround is the following:
Card inserted - Image capture starts and copy all the images to a temp folder - Images then move to Aperture's hot folder - Aperture gets all the images.

Email Actions with duplicate partners

HI All,
I am sending out 'automatic' emails using Actions to all partners having a "Z0000134" partner function on creation of a transaction. The other partner functions in the transactions are of the type Employee responsible and Z copy of Activity partner. The transaction is configured to have only one partner for a partner function. Also I have configured manual trigger of email actions for other partner functions.
My issue is that the automatic action determination fails, whenever the same partner is present for both Z0000134 and employee responsible or activity partner. I am not sure why this is happening and i have noticed that its a non issue if i schedule the automatic action to trigger for employee responsible on create of a transaction instead of Z0000134.
I think this has got to do something with the way sap merges the action with duplicate partners.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
Reddy

Hi Reddy
Please see the oss note no. 621183 which explains this behaviour
(and also note 895546 point 4).
"If you want all partner functions/partner function categories to be
included in the action determination, deactivate BAdI implementation
CRM_ACTION_BADI or you program a new implementation that meets your
requirements."
Since the same business partner exists more than once, this behaviour is
seen. So please deactivate the Badi, and then retest, as this should resolve the issue.
Best Regards
Gavin

Using JSF and JavaMail to send Automated Email

Hi All,
Can any one please suggest I can use JSF and JavaMail to send automated email messages i.e after a person has successfully completed a form , a message is sent to his/her email address confirming that he has succesfully registered or completed a form. I have succesfull implemeted the use of javamail for sending email meassages in a JSF web application but cant seem to figure out how i can achieve automated sending of emails in JSF. Please any ideas, tutorials or source code would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't understand your problem:
You have already been able to send e-mails from a JSF webapplication, but you are not capable of sending e-mails from a JSF webapplication?!
Automated sending of e-mails will be exactly the same as non-automated.

I see a couple of problems already. The jre should 1.4.2_XX (check the installation instructions as there are 3 builds which are not compatible). Also you are pretty far behind on the service packs. I think it is at SP 11 so SP2 is a bit out of date.
Good luck,

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
