This guide walks through the steps required to automatically send an email to users when they are moved into a specific workflow process.
Setup a new test User Migration workflow process
Move a test user into this process
Administration -> Extensions -> Servicing Plans -> User Migration Plans
- Service Plans -> New Service Plan
- Plan Name: <As required> e.g "Send email for Process Migrating", click New Plan
- Data Source: Select Processes -> Choose test Process
- Don't tick Reset Prior to Run
- New Service Plan Actions (Publishers)
- Event: On-Publish
- Action: Send Email
- Target: Email name
- Param: Schedule:[Timestamp]
- Validate the plan
- To test:
- Click Run Plan Evaluator - It should find the users in the process
- Click Run Plan Scheduler - It should find the users in the Process who haven't been "Completed" by the plan previously
- Click Run Plan Actions - This will add the emails to the queue for the in-scope users; they can be removed from the queue with right-click
- IMPORTANT: Never click the Reset Plan or Reset, Eval, Schedule & Publish buttons as this will reset the "Complete" status for each user who has been processed, and they will receive the email a second time when the plan next runs
