Using Business Events/Notifications to send emails to all members of a workgroup on the company tree


We have a need to be able to assign workgroups to Tasks  (which of course Acumatica supports). We need to be able to send email notifications to all members of the workgroup that have been assigned to the task.

Does anyone have any ideas on the strategy using Business Events/Notifications? I have tried with a generic inquiry to create a record in the GI for each member of the group - but the Notification never gets triggered.

 

Thanks

Bob

I have the exact same problem.  There were a couple entities to chose from with Workgroup, but they don’t really make sense:

  • ((CRActivity_workgroupID!CreatedByID!Email))
  • ((CRActivity_workgroupID!LastModifiedByID!Email))

Of course neither added any email addresses to my notifications.

It would be nice if there was a way to just send notifications. I was recently looking at a scenario to try and launch a company wide SMS. A notification option would be a good idea, even if it is not triggered by a business event.

Hi @jeremyd45 you might want to create an Idea for this if one doesn’t already exist. Thanks!


Good morning

Can anyone confirm how one can accomplish sending emails to all members of a Workgroup?  For Approval for example

Thanks,
Wanda

@wandavdmerwe20 ,
 

I have been finally able to achieve the results for sending out the email notification to all the members of the workgroup. This will be achieved in two steps:

  1. Creating a GI which will list down all the members of the workgroup(with email address)

 

 

  1. From this GI, the system will trigger a business event to send out email notification all the members listed (who has their email address in the employee table)

 

 

Attaching the GI XML file and the business event. I hope this helps everyone.
