Any SAIL function to send Email

nellurus over 8 years ago

I have a scenario like among so many users available in a grid i can assign roles to each user (One at a time).
On updating his role..i need to send a mail to him.
I should do this to all users in the same User Input Task (SAIL Form) without navigating to next node in Process Model;
So i have to do this in SAIL itself.
Is there any SAIL Function (smart service) to send Email?

I don't believe so, but you could start a process model from your sail form to handle the sending of the emails

As suggested by rodgraham, Design a process model for Sending Email with parameters,
In the SAIL form you can Asynchronously start the process model using a!startProcess().

Just to add - starting a process model might be the approach you prefer, but slightly simpler is that when the user clicks the button to "save" the user role change, you have the form submit and loop back into itself - to the user it would appear that they did not leave the form, but in the mean time your process model could send email, do other updates, etc.

You could also save users who need to be sent emails into an array variable. You can then set the "Send Email" node in process model to run multiple times. There's an option to run once for each element in an array, and you just input the array of users who need emails. It will take that variable as a parameter as if it were only one value for each instance of that node.

You could do that to automate sending the emails out after you submit the task, then end the process when they're all done.
