Hi Jeroen,
 
Yes, you are right, but I need to send out a notification "realtime". Do
you have any pointers on how to tap into this process?
 
Regards,
 
Hans

Hans,
 
You probably want a job to review inboxes and send out updates to the
users who have new items.=20
 
We decided to run a job informing all our users of all their outstanding
workitems two times a week; providing them with a list of all the
outstanding activities and some other info.
 
Advantages:
1. Easier set up of your workflows
2. Relatively limited volumes of emails as you are grouping all
workitems and reminders for one agent in one mail=20
3. You can include a URL directly to the workitem if you are using the
workplace miniapp (and preferably SSO) 4. As all workitems are included
for every user in every email you don't have to bother with deadline
processing and reminders (in most cases). 5. You can schedule the
processing at a relatively quiet period
 
Disadvantage obviously is that it is not real time, if you have
processes which need to be completed quickly you have to build in and
maintain all the reminder emails individually in every mail...
 
 
Regards,
 
 
Jeroen

Hi all,
=20
is there a way to send an e-mail from SAP to Outlook everytime a
workitem is sent to a user's Business workplace WITHOUT building in the
send mail step in each workflow - some or other higher level mechanism
outside the actual workflow or task?
=20
Any input will be appreciated.
=20
Thanks,
=20
Hans.
