Subject: Loop, send an email to Outlook
 
 
 
Hi all,
 
 
 
The user sets a planned date and time to carry out a specific Business
Activity and saves it.
 
For demo purposes the system should inform the user about this activity =
when
time is due.
 
 
 
I created a workflow that has as Start Event the event 'Created' of this
object type.
 
In the workflow I have the following steps:
 
1.      Loop (Until) - loop until the planned time is <=3D current time
2.      Send Mail - sends en express mail
3.      Activity - create a dialog work item so that the user navigates =
to
the respective Business Activity from Business Workplace.
 
 
 
My questions would be:
 
1.      Instead of Loop what shall I use ? Definitively it is not the =
right
way to do it  for production (for demo it might suffice as the time will =
be
set maximum 5 minutes later )
2.      How to send an email to user's Outlook instead of an express =
mail as
he might not be in SAP ?
3.      Is it possible to send along with the mail a link to the =
respective
object so that he directly navigates to it ?
 
 
 
Best regards,
 
Mihai
