Send Email to task assignee with task name & link
My ask is simple, I want to send email to task owner as soon as a task is assigned to him or her. The email subject should contain name of the task and if possible link to it. What I have was able to achieve so far is below
Create email connector which executes on start of task To get dynamic task name I tried using below code
apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getActivityInstance(activityInstanceId).displayName)
but this always returns null. Any thoughts ?
At the moment when connector is executed on enter, dynamic name is still not available, that is why it returns null value. You can use getName() method, that will get the name of the task, or you can use the same expression as you put in the Display name of the task (script, variable etc.). That way you would be able to produce the same name as it will be done for the display name once the task becomes available.
Hi,
I used the following:
body += "Le ha sido asignada una nueva tarea, de clic ";
body += "<a href=\"http://procesos:8080/bonita?ui=form&locale=en#form=";
body += apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getProcessDefinition(processDefinitionId).getName();
body += "--";
body += apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getProcessDefinition(processDefinitionId).getVersion();
body += "--";
body += apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getActivityInstance(activityInstanceId).getName();
body += "\$entry&mode=app&task=";
body += activityInstanceId.toString();
body +="\">aquí</a>"
body += " para más información.<br/><br/>";
body += "Cordialmente.<br/>"
body += "El equipo de Procesos.";
return body;
and it worked for us.
IMPORTANT you need to use a "\" (slash) before $ in the line "entry&mode" because in other way Groovy try to use an object called "entry".
Lucky!

Yes this works Thanks! Now coming to other part of my question how do I get link to task in email body ?
You will find how to get a task url in our online documentation here .
Thank you for provideing link . but i can't figured out at where i have to write that code .
i m writeing that code on email body : script editior
gives following warning : buffer cannot be resolved. It may lead to run time errors.
buffer.append("http://");
buffer.append(host);
buffer.append(":");
buffer.append(port);
buffer.append("/bonita?ui=form&locale=en#form=");
buffer.append(processName); buffer.append("--");
buffer.append(processVersion); buffer.append("--");
buffer.append(activityName); buffer.append("$entry&mode=app&task=");
buffer.append(activityInstanceId);
buffer.append("\">here</a>");
return buffer.toString();
at at execution it fails
Try to switch editor from Wysiwyg (rich text) to expression editor and create a script that will generate this html code.
thank you for reply but i can't elobare how to do it .
i create email connector and in message (body) click on switch to editer . then i click on pencil icon for go to ediotor then expresion type : script interpreter : groovey and paste code
buffer.append("http://");
buffer.append(host);
buffer.append(":");
buffer.append(port);
buffer.append("/bonita?ui=form&locale=en#form=");
buffer.append(processName); buffer.append("--");
buffer.append(processVersion); buffer.append("--");
buffer.append(activityName);
buffer.append("\$entry&mode=app&task=");
buffer.append(activityInstanceId);
buffer.append("\">here</a>");
return buffer.toString();
when try to execute eamil connector give following error
org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.connector.ConnectorExecutionException: org.bonitasoft.engine.core.connector.exception.SConnectorException: org.bonitasoft.engine.expression.exception.SInvalidExpressionException: Declared return type class java.lang.Long is not compatible with evaluated type class java.lang.Integer for expression activityInstanceId
