Hi Lisa and Felix
I'm facing this problem too. When the task is declared as a general task,
no problem.
When it's a background task, an error appears
OBJET SELFITEM method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION cannot be executed
NB: I gave a correct E_mail address to user r WF-BATCH ****
Thanks in advance for yours suggestions

Hello Lisa,
I just face the same issue as you were. Could you please share your
experience for this issue? Since I only took the training course last summer
and almost forgot what I have lernt. Now I have to pick it up:(.
Thanks in advance!
