Can you use a 'send mail' step to send emails to multiple users?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Anne, 
You don't actually need a distribution list - although that is a useful
option. 
You just need to put all of your addresses in a multline container
element and pass it in to the send mail step using the 
"expression" option for recipients.

Hi Anne,
 
 Yes, Using Distribution list is the option which you need to use if you
want to send the mail to multiple users.
 
 Create a Method 'READDISTRIBUTIONLIST' as Synchronous in the Object
Type <Your Object>. 
 Distribution lists are created/maintained by Txn SO23. For retrieving
the member list of a Distribution 
 List, a Function Module 'SO_DLI_READ_API1' will be used in the method.
 
  Note: SHARED_DLI parameter in the FM is to be marked X for shared DLs.
 
  To use it in workflow, the following info may help:

 

     Resolve the Distribution List into an internal table of users and
bind it to a multi line container 

     element. This should be done as a background method by extending a
suitable object (SOFM for 

     instance) or in a custom method that precedes the mail step. Assign
the multilne container element 

     as recipients.

 

    Create a Task for the Distribution List and create the binding for
this Task with the Container element. 

    Similarly, a task should be created for 'Mail' with the Object
Category as BOR Object Type, Object 

    Type as 'SELFITEM' and Method as 'SENDTASKDESCRIPTION'. Put the
Check for Background 

    Processing, Synchronous Object Processing. No Binding is required in
this case.

   

Hope this will help.

Aadesh

	Hello all! 

	I am trying to figure out how to send notifications to outlook
using a 'send mail' step in my workflow definition.  There is an option
to use an internet address, but it will only allow a single address.  Is
there a way to use a distribution list or something of that nature to
send notifications to multiple external addresses?

	Thanks, 
	Anne
