How to resend an email after the email connector has failed?

Q&A
1

Hi, I have a couple of questions.

  • Is there any way to retry sending an email after the email connector has failed?
  • How can I know if the sending of an email was successful?

I am using Bonita Studio Community 7.12.1 and the email connector.

Hi,

you can catch connector errors using BPMN error events at design time (using If connector fails... -> Throw error) and handle errors in the process or there is a replay failed task feature in Enterprise admin portal app.

Hello
If you want to check if connector was successful, then you can go the case details, open the task and there will be a section for connectors. It will show as done or failed.

If you want to retry a connector, i am not sure about the script that we can use. There is a way to retry all tasks. But you need a Id to retry . So what id should be for connectors are not known to me.

 

This is what I do to resend emails. I create a seperate process. I pass the persistenceid from the row in the database to the process. Then I load business objects based on persistenceid.
Once Business Object is loaded, then I trigger the task where email is configured.So basically I keep the same email as the main process. Just that I use the second process to send the email if the first process has connector at failed stage.
