Is multiple recipients allowed for mail type workitem?

[Former Member]

I have one "Send Mail" step in my workflow, I want to send the mail to multiple recipients, one of the recipient is &_WF_INITIATOR& the workflow initiator which is dynamically determined at runtime and other recipients &RECIPIENTS& of the mail are determined by application. So can I set the recipients of this "Mail" with expression like this:

&_WF_INITIATOR&;&RECIPIENTS&, split them with ";" like outlook?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi,

If I am not wrong, RECIPIENTS is a MULTI LINE CONTAINER ELEMENT which gets determined from the Application. Why dont you add your WF_INITIATOR logic also to that Application logic, so that RECIPIENTS contain the WF_INITIATOR also?

You cannot set Mail Expression as :<i>&_WF_INITIATOR&;&RECIPIENTS&</i>.

You can only set only one Container(single/multi line) Element for each mail step.

How could I get the &_wf_intiator& in my application? one possible way is I bind it from Workflow container -> Task Container -> BO Container, then return the internal table of recipients back to workflow container again.

Don't you think it's too trouble for such a simple function? Thanks for your reply.

Yah,

If you think, if it is too long, then add one more Mail Step for WF Initiator alone.

Hello Ya,

Hope the reply isn't too late, but you can simply add another element to a multiline using the 'append to table' container operation.

Thus insert a container operation before the sendmail, append WFINITIATOR to your RECIPIENTS element.
