Trigger Message to send e-mail [message #466]

How can I use this type of trigger for sending email? Is there any example or working code?

For what I know so far, I should create a task for this type of trigger and beforehand a pattern (there can't be a task without pattern). But sending e-mail doesn't sound like a pattern to me.

P.S. Greate framework. Your RBAC is amazing.

There is no pattern for sending email as it is just a simple function which requires a few lines of code. It is not complicated enough to warrant its own transaction with model, view and controller.

All you have to do is include the mail() function in a custom method. It's not that complicated as I have done it in one of my applications.

Basically...

1. I want to create new 'Workflow Transition' for sending automatic e-mail
2. To do so I have to have Task (Proc)
3. To have Task I have to have Pattern

and now what I accomplished

1. I have created Pattern MAIL
Visible screen? No
Context Preselection No
Keep Data on exit? No
2. I have created Task (Proc) with script containing code below

--
<?php
// name = std.mail.inc

require_once 'include.general.inc';

// identify mode for xsl file
$mode = 'list';

// load session variables
initSession();

// send email
mail('example@example.org', 'example', 'example', "From: example@example.org\r\n");

// ???
?>
---

And there I have a problem, because I don't know how should I end this script. Should I use scriptNext()? scriptPrevious()?

Which one of scriptNext() and scriptPrevious() have you tried?

You only use scriptNext() when you wish to activate another task immediately, in which case you must specify the name of that task. When this next task terminates the current task will be resumed.

You use scriptPrevious() to terminate the current task and return to whatever task was being processed before.

Note that in order to update any workflow case your script must contain the following functions:

$object->checkWorkflow() - at the beginning of the task, to identify the case and workitem numbers.
$object->commit() - at the end of the task, to mark the workitem as complete.
