Correspondence rules and e-mail

NoteOutgoing e-mail that is formatted for display in an e-mail client program (such as Microsoft Outlook) may contain HTML markup, and is produced by correspondence rules with an EMAIL correspondence type. Outgoing e-mail that contains only text can be produced by correspondence rules with a PHONETEXT correspondence type, and can be sent to a SMS-capable phone as a text message.

How to test outgoing e-mail

To test your system's ability to send e-mail:

  1. Copy the standard activity Work.getEmailSenderInfo into a Work- class in your application.
  2. Select the May Start? box on the Security tab. Save the copied activity.
  3. Click the Run toolbar button (Run) to start the activity.
  4. Complete the parameters, providing a valid To e-mail addressee and SMTP host.
  5. Wait for the message to be sent and delivered.
  6. Access the inbox for the To: addressee, to confirm the message was sent correctly.
  7. Delete the copied activity.

Digitally signed email

AdvancedIf your Process Commander server can access a keystore with an appropriate certificate, your application can send digitally signed email using the standard activity @baseclass.SendEmailNotification. See More about Correspondence rules.

Email Conversations

AdvancedIf your Process Commander application has email capabilities enabled, your application can initiate and process email- based conversations. When an email is sent from Process Commander, a key is generated and attached to the email. When the reply is received, the message is attached to the work object and then a copy of the message is forwarded to the appropriate party. This functionality is initiated using the standard Work-.SendEmailCorr local action, and requires an Email Server instance, Service Package data instance, Email Listener data instance, and a Service Email rule. (For an example of the service rule, review the standard rule EmailDefault.Work-.ProcessEmails.)
