Human Workflow email notification to a distribution list when assigned to an approval group

Hi All,
is there a way to send the notification email to an email distribution list when a task is assigned to an approval group instead of sending individuals emails to each member?
As of now HW config is sending individual emails to each member of the approval group when the task is assigned to that approval group, for some approval groups (not all) they want the notification emails be sent to a distribution list, also we are using the actionable emails - so far it's working fine - the only thing is that the recipient of the actionable emails should be a dist list, is this even possible?
thanks in advance

Hi,
From your description, some users that are not the dynamic distribution group members receive the messages that are sent to the dynamic distribution groups. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
In your case, I recommend you use the following cmdlets to verify the members of this dynamic distribution group at first.
$MarketingGroup = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup "Marketing Group"
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $MarketingGroup.RecipientFilter -OrganizationalUnit $MarketingGroup.OrganizationalUnit
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

Hi Amy,
Correct, some users that should and are filtered out from the DDL are receiving the emails.
I set the variable and ran the command you provided and got consistent results to the "filter preview" in EMC, the particular user that is filtered out in both membership preview method is still receiving these emails!

EPM Workflow Email Notifications

I have inherited an EPM implementation that has EPM Workflow Email Notifications. The email text is not very informative and I want to customize this text to something more meaningful. I have been told this cannot be done, but find this very hard to believe.
Does anyone know if this can be done? Many thanks, in advance.

Hi,
I am assuming these email notifications are sent when the project moves between workflow stages, approval etc.? The short answer is: yes, the text of the email notifications can be updated. However, it depends on how your workflows have been built, which
tools have been used (e.g. SharePoint Designer, Visual Studio, 3rd party tool etc.) and the project server version - 2010/2013.
If you are using project server 2013, check if the workflows have been built using SharePoint Designed (open the PWA in SharePoint designer and check the site workflows)
Hope this helps

Is there a way to customize the MDM Workflow email notification content?

I am looking for a way to customize the MDM Workflow email / notification content. For example, I might want to put the Supplier ID(s) of the impacted supplier records (be it Update, Insert & Delete) into the email body or put an URL into the email body.
Can MDM Workflow do this?
Is there any workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
What you can do is add a boolean field to the repository, for instance "Send Mail". You can use an assignment in the Workflows to set this field to true. Next, define an updatelistener and pick up the change to this field. If the value is "true", send out an email. Afterwards, let the listener change the value back to "false".
Good luck,
Gerwin

Unable to open email sent to large distribution lists

Running: iPhone 4, 8GB iOS 7.04 (Note: This same issue was also observed on an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2.)
Email account info: GroupWise IMAP
When attempting to open an email sent to a large distribution list, the email application is extremely slow or crashes.
Opening and closing an email sent to a distribution list containing 2301 members is very slow. When opening an email with a distribution list of 6443 members, the email application hangs for awhile and then closes.

I just noticed that with an email open, selecting "Hide" on the email headers allows the email and all subsequent emails to open as expected. However, attempting to view the additional email header information by selecting "[number of additional email contacts] more..." causes the email application to freeze.

Redirect internal email sent to a distribution list to another user mailbox

Dear all,
We are running on Exchange 2010 and would like to know if it would be possible to redirect email sent to a distribution list to another mailbox if source is internal, meaning from address is *@company.com
Let me explain: We have a DL like [email protected] and a ticketing system which checks a mailbox [email protected] on a regular basis.
We would like to redirect only the messages from our users to helpdesk in order to automatically create cases for their problems.
Have been checking EMC and ADUC but couldn't find anything related to this.
Kind regards,
Tudor.

Hi,
Yes, creating transport rule will achieve the goal.
Glad to know that we have solved this problem.
Have a nice day : )

I was getting email notification (at my yahoo account) when my phone was located, that has stopped. I was wanting to see why. I would like the notifications to continue.

I was getting email notifications (at my yahoo account) when my phone was located. This has stopped. Is there a way to restart the email notifications?

If you truly change your existing Apple ID's email address to a new email address, follow these instructions: iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
If you created a whole new Apple Account because you couldn't access the old one after being hacked, you will need to contact the Apple Account Security Team. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

How can I set a specific email notification for an email sent to a distribution list I am a member of?

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7. For my job I need to be able to have my phone to get notificaitons from work. I need to be able to have a notification for emails sents to distribution lists that I am a part of. Basically I need to be able to set the notification based on the Sent To: field and not the From: field. Anyone have any ideas?

Create the group. Drag in the folks you want to include in the group. Right click on the group and choose "Edit Distribution List" and a window will pop up showing which addresses are selected in bold, and those that are not selected in plain text. Just click on the emails you want to use and it switches the selected address.

Help needed in Workflow Email Notification

Hi,
I am new to workflow. I am creating a notification process in Oracle Apps 11i to send an email notification to users who registered for some training. Now how can I send an email notification to each user as the list of users can be huge i.e. > 200 . Do I need to loop through and send a notification to each user one by one or is there a way to achieve this by just sending one notification to all the users and if I send one notification to all the users how can I make sure when a user gets an email he/she don't see other users email addresses.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks can you please tell me what will be the datatype of l_user_list.
It's a VARCHAR2 list of users, separated by a space or comma.
Now before creating AdHocUser do I need to check in WF_USERS table if the user with the same email address is already there then don't create that user and just add it to a l_user_list.
Yes - you will need to have a user record first before you can add them to the role.
If adding user to l_user_list how to make sure I am adding the right user to send notification to as there may be some other user with same name but different email that I don't want to send notification to. I only want to create a AdHocUser only if name and email address both are not already in the WF_USERS. e.g. lets say if there is a user John Doe with email [email protected] who previously attended some training. Now comes another user John Doe with email id [email protected] and is attending the current training. How do I make sure notification only goes [email protected] as he registered for this training not to [email protected] who previously attended some other training.
How do you identify which user has registered for training - you could check email address, or use the Apps user name which is unique. Whatever you are using to determine who is registering, you will need to determine what the link is back to the user record in WF_USERS.
Now as this procedure runs every 24 hrs then everytime it runs do I need to create a new AdHocRole and what should I name it as it can't be hardcoded. As I only want to send an email to the users registered in the current training how do I make sure notification does not go to some other user with the same name with different email who is not registered in the current training.
If the job runs once every 24 hours, then you could use the same role each time, and clear out the users in the role before repopulating them. If not, when you create the new role (which is what I would do) every time the job runs, then store the name of the role in an item attribute, and then reference that in the notification so that the new role is notified each time. Don't forget to set an expiration date for your ad-hoc roles, though, and run a purge job periodically to get rid of the old roles that are no longer required.
Also wf_directory.CreateAdHocUser and create a user list should be in a loop and create an adhoc role and notification will be outside the loop.
What are drawbacks of if in a loop I just create a AdHocUser and then send notification one by one to each user rather than creating a role and in the end send one notification. Basically if there are 200 hundred users loop runs 200 times and each time notification goes.
If you notify each individual user, then you will have a large number of notifications that are being sent - extra records in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table, extra records on the queue which the mailer uses etc. etc. If you notify a role, then there is only one record to process.
If it were me, I would build an ad-hoc role each time, and populate that role with the correct users, and notify the role. I would NOT be sending 200 separate notifications when one would suffice.

Oracle Workflow Email Notifications

Hi,
I have created a custom workflow and role(using user management). The notification_preference for this role is defaulting to QUERY. From what I have understood is that when the notification_preference is set to 'QUERY' the users in the role receive email notifications based on their preference(MAILHTML). However, no emails are being sent.
I updated the notification_preference to 'MAILHTML' in the wf_local_roles and the notifications started pouring in. Why aren't there email notifications being sent when notification_preference is 'QUERY'. Is there a UI way to update this role preference?
Regards,
Dheeraj

QUERY is actually used not to receive mails, the notifications are only available on the application notification list for the user:
From the documentation:
Do not send me mail (QUERY) - The notification mailers do not send you e-mail notifications. Instead you must query and respond to your notifications from the Worklist web page.
The preference is updateable for end users via the preferences link on the home page (if not displayed, enable it via personalization).
As you mention this being a custom role, I don't know if the preference could be set via the user management responsibility, though.

Approval workflow - email notification

Hi,
I was run out of idea how to complete my assigned job, need oracle expert to help on email notification workflow.
Currently I am working on workflow enhancement with oracle application E-Business Suite for our company.
My job is to add in new approval process to approve Bank Details transaction through AME.
For this Bank Details transaction, the existing approval process is will only route to HR.
Now my job is to add Admin & Manager approval, which mean once the transaction is submitted and the approval processes are as below:
Admin --> Manager --> HR
But this approval process will fall into 2 scenarios as below criteria.
Scenario1: If the selected Bank Name from List Of View (LOV) not "Other Bank" then the approval process is Manager --> HR
Scenario2: If the selected Bank Name from LOV is "Other Bank" (once Other Bank selected, user will need to enter the new Bank Name) then the approval process is Admin --> Manager --> HR
Once Admin approve, Admin will add the new Bank Name into LOV.
Both scenarios will auto trigger email notification to the approver once there is pending for Admin and Manager approval.
For scenario1, our email process package able to send out email notification to the manager.
But for scenario2, email notification not send to Admin. FYI, our Admin is a group of persons assigned to Admin group.
My doubt here is how to let this email notification able to send out to Admin group?
Hopefully anyone of oracle workflow expert could help me as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi Mike,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use workflow to send emails to the approvers when a task process completed in SharePoint Designer 2010.
First, when you add the “Start Approval Process” action to create the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010, you can click on “these users” to set the task process participants and you can choose “One at
a time (serial)” or “All at once (parallel)” to set how the tasks will
be created.
Then, if you want to send an email to the approver when a single task process completed, you can click on “Approval” in the
“Start Approval Process” step to edit the task process and click on “Change the behavior of a single task” in the “Customization”
to add the “Send a Task Notification Email” action in “When a Task Completes” section as below:
And if you want to send emails to the all approvers when all tasks are completed, you can click on “Approval” in
the “Start Approval Process” step to edit the task process and click on “Change the behavior of the overall task process” in
the “Customization” to add the “Send an Email” action in “When the Task Process Completes” section as below:
If you want to use the approval workflow to update the content approval status, then you can add the “Set Workflow Variable” action to set “Variable: EnableContentApproval” to “Yes” after you add the “Start
Approval Process” action in the workflow, and it should be added above the step “Start Approval Process”.
Please refer to the link below to add the “Set Workflow Variable” step in the workflow:

Human Task email notification and IMS

Hi Chaps,
I have a requirement to enable the email notification functionality embedded in Human Tasks. This email functionality presumably emails everyone for that role based on their email information located in Enterprise Manager -> Security -> my relam (?), however when I log into Business Process WorkSpace and try to edit the email address - it states that "Do not use this channel for BPEL User Notification or Human Workflow; it is not stored in the identify management system and will not work"
Does this mean that I have to directly alter the LDAP Directory (somehow?) or will logging into Enterprise Manager and changing it manually suffice?
Any help you could provide would be most welcome!
Thanks..

To know the more details on email notification using human tasks, follow the below link
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_hwfmodel.htm#BABICIAH
Also, if you are trying to send emails without using LDAP, then simply configure the email driver in */em and assign the roles to whom you want to send the email to.

SOA Human Workflow actionable notifications are sent, but no action is take

Hi,
We have a Human Task on the composite. The Task is configured with Actionable Email and Approvers are also getting actionable notifications in their Inbox. But when they take action from the email notification (APPROVE or REJECT), it is not responding. The Status of the composite still shows running . But when the Action is taken from the Worklist application , it works.
Can anybody help me with this.
Is this an issue with the composite or is it a configuration issue on SOA environment.
Regards
Pradosh

Hi Pradosh
1. Have you done Email Driver configuration settings in EM Console. Remember for Actionable Emails, the Task should act on those Actions like Approve, Reject etc which are Triggered from Email. Hence a valid Email Address is required, a valid email smtp host, port etc etc are required and needs to be configured.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e13806/ns_config.htm#CEGDBCEI
Once you enable Actionable Emails and do above configuration, you can work on your Tasks from Emails or IPhones or IPads etc.
Thanks
