Add functionality to "Send message Task"

[Laimonas]

Hi there,

We are missing one functionality, when we use workflow and flowchart "Send Message Task" / "Send mail".
It would be great if there were an additional button "Add field" and a place to write "Formula", which we could use to add additional parameters to the Email that we send. Please see the picture attached.

Hi Laimonas,

As a temporary solution, I can suggest you to use Execute Formula Script using this formula:

$emailId = record\create(
         'Email',
         'to', $recipientEmail,
         'status', 'Draft',
         'parentId', entity\attribute('id'),
         'parentType', entity\attribute('type')
);

ext\email\applyTemplate($emailId, 'some-email-template-id');
ext\email\send($emailId);

The value of the $recipientEmail variable can also be easily pulled out using formulas. I can help you in this matter if you wish.

I wouldn't call it a temporary solution. It's a good solution.

It's already possible to update an email record with Task > Update Created Record. The email entity will be available in the list. Place the task flow element after the Send Message element in the process flow.

Plus it's possible to use process variables in the email template (see docs).
