Send approval email notification to Lotusnotes/Outlook

Hi all,
Our requirement here is to send a confirmation e-mail to the requisition creator once their requisition has been approved by the requisition approver.
So far, we have been only able to send this message to the requisition creatoru2019s SAP Inbox, however, our requirement is to send it to their e-mail address (i.e. outlook / lotus notes).  We understand that if we set-up this confirmation message as a work-item (i.e. not an SAP Inbox message), then we could use the standard Workflow e-mail notifications (SWNCONFIG) to send the e-mail to the requisition creator.  We want to know if it is possible to send an e-mail from the workflow system without setting this up as a work-item (if we set it up as a work-item, then we are forced to have a decision, and a decision is not relevant here).
Cheers,
Chandra

Hi Pavan,
The note you mentioned talks about the integration of SAP and lotus notes. But, as we are in ECC5.0, we dont want to do the lotus notes integration.
For, now I have setup the forwarding email functionality in SO13 and the issues has been resolved.
I am using SO10 setup to send email notifications to lotusnotes email ID and SWNCONFIG to send workitems to lotusnotes email ID. Issue resolved for now.
Still looking for some more options to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Chandra

  • Approve email notification.

    Hi All
    From apex (version 4.1) application I am sending a email notification to the users. I like to know is there a way to povide approve and Reject button/link in email to process the transaction from email itself.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    Srini

    Hi Srini,
    You can have a hidden page item and then offer the two different links to the same page but just passing in different values. For example if you are working on page 21 of application 100 the APPROVE link would look like:
    www.server.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:21:::::P21_HIDDEN_VALUE:APPROVE
    And the REJECT link would look like:
    www.server.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:21:::::P21_HIDDEN_VALUE:REJECT
    You then need a PL/SQL page process to run On Load - After Footer that references your P21_HIDDEN_VALUE page item, something like:
    BEGIN
    IF :P21_HIDDEN_VALUE like 'APPROVE' THEN
    -- APPROVE code goes here
    ELSE
    -- REJECT code goes here
    END IF;
    END;

  • Send different email notifications when a request is rejected/completed

    Hi Friends,
    I have developed a SOA composite in OIM 11g. And I am getting the same email notification when a request is fully completed or when it is rejected by an approver. How to send diffrerent email notification when a request is completed and when it is rejected by an approver.

    There are multiple ways in which you can do it.
    1. Modify your SOA composite and change the notification properties in the .task. Here change the status of the event and configure different notifications for different events.
    2. Use the Request Status change plugin in OIM to send the notification and remove all notification from SOA composite.
    3. Use explicit notification service in the SOA composite and attach the notification service component at appropriate places in the SOA workflow. Additionally remove the notification configuration from the .task

  • How do I send a email notification with PL/SQL to Check for Columns

    I want to be able to use PL/SQL to check my columns and makes sure that all required columns were populated, and if any were not populated to send an email notification.
    Thanks

    I would still suggest that adding appropriate constraints (well, logical constraints) to the table is the right way to go.
    When you get the file back, you load the data into the table. If the constraint is satisfied, the data is loaded. If the constraint is violated, the loader gets an error, writes the affected data to another table, to another file, etc. That way, the data in the database is always correct and you have a log of the rows that were bad.
    create table t( status varchar2(10), cost number );
    create or replace trigger trg_t
    before insert or update
    on t
    for each row
    begin
       if :new.status = 'Approved' and :new.cost is null
       then
         raise_application_error( -20001, 'Cost must not be null if status is approved' );
       end if;
    end;
    SCOTT @ hp92 Local> insert into t values( 'Reject', 1 );
    1 row created.
    SCOTT @ hp92 Local> insert into t values( 'reject', null );
    1 row created.
    SCOTT @ hp92 Local> insert into t values( 'Approved', 2 );
    1 row created.
    SCOTT @ hp92 Local> insert into t values( 'Approved', null );
    insert into t values( 'Approved', null )
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-20001: Cost must not be null if status is approved
    ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.TRG_T", line 4
    ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'SCOTT.TRG_T'If you don't want to touch the loader, you can rename the table, create a view with the same name, and use an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view to populate the real table or a reject table.
    Either way, you're better off, in general, rejecting invalid records than trying to expend a lot of effort reporting on them.

  • How to send html email notification in bpel

    hi gurus,
    i want to send html email notification from bpel.
    before, i already successful send html email with attachment, but when i send an email without attachment, then the body message will turn into a plain text.
    as i check from the email accepted, email with attachment will have a mime type "text/html" but if no attachment then it will be "text/plain"
    from the bpel configuration, by default the mime type already set to "text/html; charset=UTF-8", below is the sample configuration in my bpel process
    [quote]
    <copy>
                                    <from>string('text/html; charset=UTF-8')</from>
                                    <to variable="varNotificationReq"
                                        part="EmailPayload">

                                    </to>
                                </copy>
    [/quote]
    i think this suppose to be a easy configuration, but i'm not sure whether i miss something in configuration the email process or this is a bugs in bpel.
    environment:
    linux
    jdev 11.1.1.6

    make sure you put the mime type multipart/alternative into the email payload content. by default, when you add attachment, it will generate mime type multipart mixed automatically.
    if you don't change it to multipart/alternative, your email will show a attachment, but actually your email doesn't contain any attachment.
    and then for the message and mimetype make sure you have that ns10:bodypart, because this email already been set as a multipart email.
    when you add attachment, by default it will generate 2 body part, first one is for the body message and the second one is for the attachment. since i only want to use the body message only, then i have to erase the second bodypart
    with this workaround, i can send a html email without attachment perfectly.
    but i have to take note, when i updating the email process from process design, then the source will be generated again automatically, and the edited one will be replaced.
    thanks.

    Make sure you upload all of the images used in your email to a server you control. Then, change your image paths to point to those uploaded images with absolute links.
    You will get marked as spam if you attempt to send images as attachments to a large list of recipients and most email clients won't download images to begin with, so make sure your html email makes sense with broken pictures.
    CSS support is spotty across email clients, if you use css, make sure it's inline, not embedded in the <head> or externally linked in the <head>. Some email clients strip out the <head> section entirely.
    Basically, you need to design your html email as if you haven't moved out of the 90's yet, as far as web design is concerned, in order to get maximum cross client compatibility.
    Then, when you're ready, I would suggest using a service like www.icontact.com or www.constantcontact.com if your subscriber list is anywhere over 100 or so recipients.

  • How to send alert email notification through graphical mapping ?

    Hi,
    I want to send an email notification whenever there is an exception raised while doing graphical mapping.
    However my requirements are as follows :
    1. We want to use email adpater sending emails
    2. We don't want to go for BPM approach, to achieve the above requirement
    3. We don't want to connect to any alert framewok.
    I appreciate your early reply.
    Thanks
    Ganesh

    Hey
    >>whenever there is an exception raised while doing graphical mapping.
    as said earlier this is not possible without configuring alerts.
    yeah,if u know the reasons beforehand that why exceptions can be be triggered in mapping,then u can use conditional receiver determination,for e.g suppose u know that you will get a mapping exception if value of tag <OrdersID>=000,then u can use this condition in conditional receiver determination and send a mail to concerned party,but this won't work if u don't know beforehand as to under what conditions the exception will be  triggered in mapping.
    i would vote for configuring alerts as its the most suited way to handle this
    thanx

  • Is there a way to send the email notification as a PDF attachment and the email receipt as an email

    Has anyone found a way to send the email notification as a PDF attachment rather than email? I would still like to send the receipt as an email though? Any thoughts or experiences out there?

    Thanks for prompt response. Does this mean that there are future plans to do this?
    The forms received are used as part of a registration process into aonther system and aren't that User friendly in an email form. They have to be processed as received, so not efficiet to go in through the back end.

  • When I send an email notification that the form has been sent I want the receiver to get a copy of the actual filled out form not a ling to the data, how can I make this happen?

    Hi,
    you can find documentation for Designer under this website
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/documentation.html#task=4,5&module=2
    In Designer you can use the JavaScript API of Acrobat.
    So the Devnet for Acrobat is also a good source.

  • Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications?

    Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications? I've disabled any settings that look like they could be used to sending me an alert. I've also read that disabling the email alerts in gmail would also help (since I use 3 gmail calendars in addition to my icloud calendar). Any ideas on how I might fix this issue?

    Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

  • Approval email notification not routing to an approver

    Hi Experts,
    For a certain PO value range there are existing approvers. We have added an additional approver to the PO approval matrix. Now, while changes are done for a PO the approval email is not going to the added approver. Instead it will send a mail notification twice to one of the existing approvers. 
    The added approver appears in SRM approval preview, aslo we find the approver in the workflow agents. In addition the approver gets the PO in the SRM inbox for approval, but only the email notification is not sent to this approver.
    Any pointers to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Francis

    Hello,
    Workflow approbation e-mails are taken from BP transaction. If there is no information there, e-mails are taken from SU01.
    Some extra customising has to be maintained in order to have notifications sent out as an email:                                                                               
    - Set the attribute FORWARD_WI for the requester;
    - In SO16, tab "Mail Sy.Grp", select "Send to home address of users".        
    Kind regards,
    Ricardo

  • User does not get email notifications to his outlook

    Hi All,
    A user has reported that he does not get outlook notifications for corresponding work items in his inbox.
    All the settings are in place i.e. correct email address maintained in SU01 as well as in Infotype 0105 subtype 010.
    Not really sure why he alone does not get any outlook notifications.
    I tried sending a new message manually from SAP Inbox to his external mail id and was successful in this (checked SOST).
    What might be wrong? Please suggest.
    BR,
    Hari

    Hello,
    By "outlook notifications" I assume you mean emails telling the user he has workitems waiting for him to action.
    How are you sending these emails, with Extended Notifications?
    In SU01, besides specifying the e-mail address, have you also put "E-mail" in the "Comm. Meth" field?
    Sending an email directly to his external email address from his SAP inbox doesn't prove much, SAP has to be able to deduce the email address itself.
    Is it just happening for one user? Has it worked before?
    regards

    out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
    I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

         
    Try below:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
    Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly 
    2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
    In order to do that follow these steps:
      Open  cmd
      telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)  
                     you should see a response  like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
                     Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
                     If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or 
                     the smtp server is not responding.
      For testing response from your server
                       For testing response say ehlo to it.
                            Type :
                                        ehlo <servername>
                            output:
                                        250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
      Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server. 
                          Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
                          Type :
                           mail from: [email protected]
                           output:
                           250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
     It's time to enter the recepient email address.
    Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
    output:
    250 2.1.5 [email protected]
     Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
    Type : data
    output:
    354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    Type:
    subject: this is a test mail
    Hi
    This is test mail body
    I am testing SMTP server.
    Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
    output:
    250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
    Type: quit
    output:
    221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
    3)  Check alerts are enabled for your web application
          verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
          Run this stsadm command to check that
          Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
         This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
         If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
         stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
          If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
    4)  Check the Timer job and Properties
           Go to
           MOSS 2007:  Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
           In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions 
           Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
                       job-immediate-alerts
                       job-daily-alerts 
                       job-weekly-alerts
           stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
           The expected output is:
           <Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.  
           If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
           stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
    5)  Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for      all.
    6)  Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones       won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
    permission.
    7)  If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
    8)  Most importantly , you should try this one.
          Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
          This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
          In order to get rid of that lock 
          Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
          within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
          Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
          You will surely get the email alert.
    I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
    If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
    Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
    9)  Try re-registering the alert template:
    stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f  "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
    10)  Try to clear the configuration cache
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • How to send an email notification if no document in a library has been touched in 6 months

    The customer wants to receive an email notification if not a single document inside a document library has been not updated in 6 months. They don't want to get notifications based on single documents. They care only about the document library
    as a whole. I know you can use the list settings to send notifications or start workflows if a single document but how would you do this on an entire library?
    Get it?
    Is it possible?

    You could run something like this in powershell to check the last modified date and send an email if nothing has been modified in the previous 6 months.
    if (!(Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
    { Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.powershell }
    $web = <website>
    $list = <document library>
    $items = ((get-spweb $web).lists[$list]).items | where {$_['Modified'] -gt (get-date).AddMonths(-6)}
    $folders = ((get-spweb $web).lists[$list]).folders | where {$_['Modified'] -gt (get-date).AddMonths(-6)}
    if (($items.count -eq 0) -and ($folders.count -eq 0)) {
    Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer 'smtpserver' -from '[email protected]' -to '[email protected]' `
    -Subject 'List items not modified in previous 6 months' -BodyAsHtml `
    -Body "List $($list) has not had any files updated in previous 6 months"
