Configuring email for Workplace notifications for Business Automation Workflow on containers

To update the configuration file to enable the email notification for Workplace, complete the following steps.

1. Compose an XML file with the following email properties:

   <server merge="mergeChildren">
   	<email merge="mergeChildren">
   		<!-- SMTP server that mail should be sent to -->
   		<smtp-server merge="replace">smtp.example.com</smtp-server>
        <mail-template>
           <process>externalmailprocesslink_{0}.html</process>
           <no-process>externalmailnoprocess_{0}.html</no-process>      
        </mail-template> 
   		  <valid-from-required merge="replace">true</valid-from-required>
   		  <default-from-address merge="replace">username@example.com</default-from-address>
   		  <send-external-email merge="replace">true</send-external-email>
   		  <send-email-notifications-to-list merge="replace">false</send-email-notifications-to-list>
   		  <send-email-notifications-async merge="replace">false</send-email-notifications-async>
   		  <send-in-federation merge="replace">true</send-in-federation>	
             <send-on-reassignment merge="replace">true</send-on-reassignment>
   	</email>
   </server>

   For more information, see Configuring email for task notification assignment.
2. Apply the configuration changes:
   • Save the XML configuration changes to a file, for example 112Custom.xml, and create a secret from the file by using the following command:

     kubectl create secret generic custom-xml-secret-name --from-file=sensitiveCustomConfig=./112Custom.xml

     For more information, see Business Automation Workflow Authoring parameters and Business Automation Workflow Runtime parameters .

     Then apply the secret to the lombardi_custom_xml_secret_name property:

     • workflow_authoring_configuration.lombardi_custom_xml_secret_name to customize Workflow Authoring.
     • baw_configuration[x].lombardi_custom_xml_secret_name to customize the Workflow Server.

     For more information, see Optional: Customizing Business Automation Studio properties .

3. Save your changes.
4. Wait for the operator to reconcile the changes.
5. Optional: If you want to customize the sender's name in the email notification header, you can customize the name of the system user who created the task, typically the admin. To do that, specify a value for the userToCreateTask property, which represents the user ID that is set in the task's receivedFrom field and is assigned the admin role. For more information, see Security configuration properties.
