Workflow to send email notification to the assigned person using Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hi,
The requirement is whenever the assigned to Field is changed to someone, the assigned to person should get an email notification saying that the item has been assigned to you.
I created a sharepoint designer List Workflow to send an email notification, below are the steps,
1. Log workflow to the workflow history
2. then Wait for Assigned to be not empty
3. then Email currentItem:AssignedTo
4.then stop the workflow
But the thing is whenever any field is changed in the particular item this email triggers, I want to send email only when Assigned to Field is changed and not any other field. how do i write the condition to check only if the assigned to field is changed
or not and and how i trigger the email.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to send email via workflow while the assigned to field value changed.
We can create a helper field
which will store the previous value of the Assigned To, then you can compare the current value with previous value of assigned to and send an email accordingly.
I have made a simple workflow demo below, you can refer to it.
I have created a new single line of text type field AssignedPerson in the list, then use the workflow below to achieve your scenario.

Hi,
I'm assuming you made your site as internet site (public facing).
In that case you might site desired output. If not you can think of replacing text
i.e SP2013 = hello.com

Cannot see the Previous Versions using SharePoint Designer 2013 - Versions cannot be accessed at this time.

I was trying to view the Version History of a page from the SharePoint Designer 2013, I got the following error. "Versions cannot be accessed at this time, because the server is busy. Please try again later.
Whereas I can able to access the version history through browser, the issue only occurs in SharePoint Designer.
Thanks
Ramkumar

Hi Ramkumar,
I understand that when you use SharePoint designer 2013 to check previous version of a page, it will pop up the error window. This is a known issue and here are two feasible workaround:
1.Use SharePoint designer 2010 to connect SharePoint 2013 site.
2.In SharePoint Designer 2013, use the Versions pane in the Page Summary view to access detailed version information of a file. You can access the Page Summary view by:
a. (Left) Clicking on a filename in the Site Pages list.
b. Select a file Site Pages list by clicking anywhere in the row (except the filename) and then clicking on “Page Settings” in the Site Pages.
c. Restore the required version.
Thanks for the understanding and support.

If you are not having developer skills it will be complicated for you.
You need to create event handler by code, as in the below link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg615466%28v=office.14%29.aspx
Then compare your values and finally send email by code.

Otherwise you need to find the original installer disk of the Mac, or call AppleCare for it to be able to run the hardware diagnostic.

Cannot send email using SharePoint designer 2013 workflow

I am having a problem which I see many others have also posted about. However, I don't find that any of their solutions fixes my problem.
Using SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2008 R2 server. SQL 2008 R2 on separate server. Created a pretty simple workflow that calls for an email to be sent. Created an Infopath form that is published to a SharePoint list. One of the
list fields is called "Approver" and is a people lookup field. The workflow assigns an approver based on certain criteria in the list, and then sends an email to the assigned approver.
During the testing phase of creating the workflow, I had the email sent to me specifically and I received the emails with no problems. When I change the email recipient to Current Item:Approver (who is also me), I don't receive the email. I have
tried selecting Display Name, Email Address, and Login Name, but none work. I also tried to send the email to the current item:creator (which was me) by selecting "User who created current item" from the select users dialog. This also
doesn't work. The workflow is shown in a suspended state in the Workflow status screen.
For informational purposes, I also included the Approver Display Name, the Approver Email Address and the Approver Login Name in the body of the email so that I could see what those fields actually returned as data. The display name, and email address
are correct, but the login name returned i:0#.w|domain\login (domain and login were my actual domain and login name).
I have tried several of the fixes I found online to resolve this, but none have worked. Any help is appreciated.

I don't see that it is possible to add CurrentItem:Creator to a list view. The CurrentItem:CreatedBy returns my name as it should. However, this does not help with my problem. I don't want the email to come to me. I want it to go
to the CurrentItem:Approver. This is a specific person who is assigned by the workflow based on various fields in the current item. The approver is assigned, then an email is sent to the assigned person.
There is a SharePoint group set up for Approvers. This is used to assign permissions to the site where this list is created.
Basically, I can't send an email to any recipient where I am using the current item lookup fields to populate the To: field. I can only send email if I specifically select a person by name.

How to send the folder url using SharePoint Designer WF??

Hi,
i am trying to send the folder url as a email link using SharePoint designer workflow. i already created the WF which is sending the item url attaching with email. is there anyway i can add folder url too, so that once user will click they can see all the
files in that folder?
Thanks

I think you've got a quote in the wrong place, but you're close.
Do a 'set workflow variable', and create a new one called whatever - this one was called link
Add that variable to your email:
Of course you can set your text to whatever you want. I use this technique to do formatting in email - you can create a pretty complex bit of html in a string variable and insert it into email - Outlook/Exchange will interpret.
And actually, I think there's another variable, maybe in the workflow context section, that would have your site address, so you wouldn't have to hardcode your https://xxxx.com .

Item level permission on workflow task List using sharepoint designer 2013

Hello All,
I have created a custom approval workflow. Workflow create a Task in Tasks List. Now suppose A task is assign to user1.
User2 should not able to edit\approve\reject the item.
How to give item level permission using SharePoint designer in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
SharePoint 2013 workflow doesn't have impersonation steps also.
Please suggest how to give permission on task list based on assigned To field.

In order to change permissions on a list item you'd need a sharepoint 2010 workflow according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj728659.aspx
Unfortunately this functionality is not available in SharePoint 2013 workflows :-(
The impersonation step still exists, but it is now called "App Step" in the SharePoint Designer 2013 Ribbon. This step is disabled, though, until you activate a web site feature called "Workflows can use app permissions"

Auto provisioning users and send email notification to the users

I currently have CUCM 10.5 setup to auto register phones and I use Cisco prime provisioning 10.5 to auto provision the users.
Self provisioning is setup and users can call the IVR number enter the self service ID, which is their DN.
what I would like to do is send an email notifying the end user of their setup and how to use their telephony device Example (Self-service ID: 8888, auth code: 3333) is this possible from Prime Provisioning or CUCM.

Thanks Jamie
Wishful thinking I guess. It would have been seamless if they added that form of email notification to end users when auto provisioning. Anyways to get around that I used MS word mail merge and used the same spread sheet I used to batch provision the users to send the Self-service ID to the email contacts.

Check if a user belongs to specific SharePoint Group- using SharePoint Designer 2013/2010 Workflow

Hi there,
I am working on a SharePoint list and i would like users to be assigned permissions to items based on their groups.
I did look at using workflows but i couldnt find anything useful :(
Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers

Now that SP2013 workflows allow you to run web services, you could use REST/SOAP web service that, as I recall, allows you to enumerate a group for members:
http://yoursite/yourmanagedpath/yoursitecollection/yoursite/_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx
Do some reading on the GetUserCollectionFromGroup method and see if that doesn't get you what you are looking for...

Site not found using Sharepoint Designer 2013, Load balance URL and the Front end servers.

Dears,
My SharePoint farm is with the below configuration in our office :
Batch processing server the with Central Administration
Web Front End Sever 1 (http://wfe01)
Web Front End Sever 2 (http://wfe02)
I do have the load balance URL as http://finance.mycompany.com and as per the system administrator it seems configured properly.
In AAM i have mapped the URLs as below for the web application in Central Administration portal:
http://finance.mycompany.com - Default Zone
http://wfe01 - Intranet Zone
http://wfe02 - Internet Zone
I was able to browse the site via the load balance URL : http://finance.mycompany.com, but couldn't open the site using the Share Point Designer 2013. It always says the site not found.
please advise,
thanks,
Ammar

What do the wfe01 and wfe02 aams do?
Are you browsing to the SharePoint site and using SPD on the same computer, is it part of the farm or a seperate client computer?
thanks Alex a lot for your response and appreciate the same.
WFE01, WFE01 is connected to the one central admin on Batch Processing Server (central admin URL is http://SharepointCA:5555 and the SharePoint Web Application is hosted under port 80 on the same server). So the AAM configured on the batch processing server
central admin.
I can connect to the site using the SPD inside the Batch Processing server if i mention the site urs as http://localhost. But not from other client computers by putting the load balance URL - http://finance.mycompany.com.
I can browse the sites directly putting http://wfe01, http://wfe02 and as well as the load balance URL (http://finance.mycompany.com). The custom webparts are getting crashed when i put the web application URL as http://finance.mycompany.com.
thanks,
Ammar

Human Workflow is not sending Email notifications to AD users

Hi,
I'm trying to send email notification to the assigness from workflow. If I use the weblogic users with email attributes, Its sending mails. But once I switch to AD and use the AD users it's not. I have made the AD provider to be the first in the list and also able to login to the worklist app using the same user. Problem is that it's not sending mails.
Can anyone please help soon.
Regards,
Thejas

Can you explain what are AD users and how they are created(APIs)?
Please check that the user exists in wf_local_roles table.
select name,notification_preference, email_address from wf_local_roles where name = <AD Username>
In order to send email notification, the user/role should have the proper email addresses and notification preference set to MAIL* i.e MAILHTMl, MAILHTM2, MAILATTH, MAILTEXT..etc

Sending email notifications in oim 11g approval flow dynamically

Hi,
I have 4 level approval workflow in oim 11g and developed custom composite to get all the approver ids and and assigning these ids into 4 variables.
And used these variables in my custom 4 level sequential workflow. This workflow is working fine. Now I need to update this composite to send email notifications to the approver. So updated code to retrieve email ids and to store them in 4 more vairables. I cannot send all emails at a time thru the code. I need to send email only to the corresponding approver only when the flow reaches to that particular level.
Subject and body will be same but the email address will vary.
Can you please let me know the step by step process to implement notifications to these many levels.
If you think, this is not correct approach (storing all email ids in variables and then sending notifications), please let me know correct approach.
Thanks,
Mary

The way to do it would be to put your human task inside a while loop. This while loop would set a variable to the approver's userid and would continue till all the four approve it. In your human task you need just one approver and that would be the variable which the while loop sets.
If you do it this way, then you can use the OOTB notification tab in the .task and select the 'Assignee' as the email notification receiver and you won't have to worry about getting the email ids as well.
As for the current approach which you have, that is of using the sequential approvers in the human task, I haven't tried it, but just try setting the notification tab in the .task to 'Assignee' and event 'On Assignment'. That should do it as well.
