Clarity

I have a GEL script that creates a file and places it on my file share area {fs0/clarity1/share/foo.csv}.

I have found the basic code for sending an email in the gel script:

  <gel:email from="username@mailserver.com"

  fromName="Clarity Admin"

  to="user@somedomain "

  subject="Simple email">

  Hello World.

  </gel:email>

But I can't seem to find any info about attaching the file I made - or even if that is possible in a SaaS

environment.

Thanks!!!

You will need to use the Jelly:email tag which supports a single attachment.

Email Tag Library - Tag Documentation

You also can use the core:new / core:invokeStatic to use native Java classes for sending email.

This post shows how to add any number of attachements via adding MimeMultiparts to an mail message.

Can we sent Meeting Invite from Clarity?

Thank you. I altered my script to be this:

<gel:script
  xmlns:core="jelly:core"
xmlns:util="jelly:util"
  xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary"
xmlns:file="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.FileTagLibrary"
xmlns:mail="jelly:email" >

  <gel:email from="username@mailserver.com"
  fromName="Clarity Admin"
  to="jsnider@aflac.com"
  subject="Simple email"
  attach="/fs0/clarity1/share/tc_fgaflac_03092016.csv">
  Hello World.
  </gel:email>
  
</gel:script>

and now in the process screen, I get this error:

BPM-0703: Custom script syntax error at line 12, column 56: Tag 'email' does not have attribute 'attach'.

Although the jelly web page says it is ok. What am I missing?

THanks!!  - Joanne

You are still using the <gel:email> method though!

Replace the gel:email with jelly:email as pointed out by Dave.  The jelly:email tag doesn't have support for the fromName.

<gel:script
xmlns:core="jelly:core"
xmlns:util="jelly:util"
xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary"
xmlns:file="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.FileTagLibrary"
xmlns:mail="jelly:email" >

<jelly:email 
from="username@mailserver.com"
to="jsnider@aflac.com"
subject="Simple email"
attach="/fs0/clarity1/share/tc_fgaflac_03092016.csv">
Hello World.
</jelly:email>

</gel:script>

V/r,

Thank you, Gene,

When I used your code above, I got a different error:

BPM-0703: Custom script syntax error at line 12, column 54: The prefix "jelly" for element "jelly:email" is not bound.

Is this one of those things, like FTP, that just won't work in On Demand?

Thanks!! - Joanne

Sorry, I didn't use the correct namespace prefix -- it should have been mail not jelly.

<gel:script
xmlns:core="jelly:core"
xmlns:util="jelly:util"
xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary"
xmlns:file="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.FileTagLibrary"
xmlns:mail="jelly:email" >

<core:invokeStatic var="v_config" className="com.niku.union.config.ConfigurationManager" method="getInstance" />
<core:set var="mailHost" value="${v_config.getProperties().getMailServer().getHost()}" />

<gel:log>${mailHost}</gel:log>

<mail:email 
  from="ggreiff@ggreiff.com"
  to="gcubed@ggreiff.com"
  subject="Simple email"
  server="${mailHost}"
>
Hello World.
</mail:email>

</gel:script>

So I just tested this in our On Demand environment.  The jelly:email tag needed the mail server name so I added code to pull it from the properties.

So I ran it on our development instance and it didn't work -- Our development instance doesn't have an email server setup on it.  On our production instance it worked.

V/r,

Gene

Thank you!!! It worked here too.

Are you able to send emails with attachments in on-demand setup now?

So I ran my test you see above on our production system which is an On Demand system.

V/r,

Gene

It requires some GEL tag calls that shouldn't be used in OD environments (but without which, currently could not do what you want to do).

The following was created to improve this in a way that would work and be supported in all deployments: GEL email tag supporting attachments and CC without requiring smtp hostname

Nick,

Is there a generic smtp host that could be used within the OD environment?

If so this would work without using the com.niku.union.config.ConfigurationManager class.

V/r,

Gene

I'm sorry but there isn't - it's an item of internal infrastructure and there won't be any intention of making it an external piece of information.

The way forward will be modifying the GEL tag libraries to include the support for those features.  Until then, running unsupported code to obtain / supply a hostname would be the only way (for as long as that works, as it can break when our code changes too since it is also internal and not an API).

Yes, when I said "Thank you!!! It worked here too." I meant that I tried the method that was specified and it worked fine. I am now able to send a single email attachment now.

Thanks!!  - Joanne
