Workflow EMail

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Kamaraj,
Normal method for sending emails from workflow is to use a task
with object SELFITEM, method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION, and set the Typeid
parameter
to "U" for internet mail, receivers are then email addresses e.g.
"sap-wug at mitvma.mit.edu".
 
To send the actual office object if you work through the programming beneath
the SELFITEM and
SOFM objects you eventually find there is a function module
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 which does
actual send.  But honestly, it's a lot easier to use
SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION than to
manually fill the interface of SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 yourself.
 
Regarding the URL, putting a URL in the task description works fine in
Business-to-Business Procurement - I haven't noticed any limitation of 80
characters and some of the URLs created are definitely longer than that.
You need to make sure the URL is continuous of course and should cater for
URL-encoding with spaces and special characters.
 
What are you using to view the email?  Are you sure the limitation is on the
workflow side and not part of your email system?

Hi,
 
Has any one sent a URL through work flow task
 
I have a requirement to send a URL longer than 80
characters as a part of task description to send
EMail. EMail sent perfectly, but only the first
80 characters of the URL get interpreted as URL
rest of them as normal text. Is this a limitation
..
 
Can we send email within workflow other than
using the task method. Can I invoke a function. I
appreciate any help .
 
Thanks.
 
Kamaraj Shankar
