How to notify to the workflow initiator in the inbox

[sripadap4996627]

Hi ,

I want to notify to the workflow initiator who started the workflow via a message in his AEM inbox.

In the workflow process step I am activating page through different replication agent (after some conditions applied like if user has priviledges).

So I wanted to send a message like "replication success"  if success ,
else "you are not a priviledge user for replication" to his inbox.

Thanks,

Pallavi

I would look at using the Workflow API to perform these tasks: com.day.cq.workflow (Adobe CQ 5.6.1 Java Documentation 5.6.1 API)

See

getInitiator()

Thanks for the response.
But I wanted to a message to be sent to the initiator's inbox upon successful replication from the workflow.

Thanks,

I am asking Eng how to send to inbox in AEM. I could not find a Java method that would do this.

Another option that you have is to send to a user normal email from a custom workflow step.

Easiest way is to create a task assigned to the user you want to notify.

Looks like you will have to use this API from a custom AEM workflow step.

I think, you need to create a task to achieve this. However, creating a task will enable the complete, delegate functionality (which aem provides OOTB).

Here is one of the way to create a task.
