External address not valid for deadline notification???

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Mike,
I'd recommend you go with a modeled deadline for this - you don't have
to do the full process control step/processing obsolete scenario.  Just
put an event name in the modeled deadline tab of the particular deadline and
hang your send mail step off that event.  End result is much the same as
a simple deadline notification - the mail is sent but the original work item is
unaffected.
 
I often use this anyway rather
than use the standard simple deadline notification, as doing a separate
mail step allows me to better control the texts in the mail as well as
giving me more flexibility in choosing the mailing address.

Subject: External address not valid for deadline notification???
 
 
Hi all,
On a 4.6c system, I'm unable to use an email address as a deadline
notification recipient, I get "Expression .... has an invalid type or
reference".
The same expression works for a send mail step, so I could use a
modeled deadline - but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible.
 
Is there something simple I'm missing or any trick to get this to work
as a standard deadline notification? (Forwarding the inbox is an
alternative which I'm also investigating - not a good outlook as there
are too many agents involved).
 
Any input greatly appreciated,
Cheers
Mike
