How to retrieve the email address of a user who is initiating the workflow ?

I have a process step in a workflow which is used to send mail to the initiator of the workflow on getting certain approval or rejection . How do I find the Email ID associated with that particular user in the process step ? How do I retrieve the user from the Workflow Item ?

Hi,

From workflow item ,you can retrieve user id by this code below

item.getWorkflow().getInitiator();

 

Code to get mail id .

 

resourceResolver = getResourceResolver(workflowSession.getSession());

            UserManager manager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);

            Authorizable authorizable = manager.getAuthorizable(workItem.getWorkflow().getInitiator());

            Value[] email = authorizable.getProperty("./profile/email");

            System.out.println(email);

 

Thanks

    I could  not get the Resource Resolver using the steps that you suggested , so I instead adapted the workflow session into ResourceResolver and the program worked. 

    Thanks for the help!!

      Hi @ankan_ghosh ,

       

      You can retrieve the User from the workItem in process step.

       

      workItem.getWorkflow().getInitiator()

       

      and make use of UserManager API to fetch further details.

      Hope this helps.

       

      Regards,

      Nitesh
