Hello Everyone,

I wanted to ask the community how to send out notifications when a change task has been assigned to a user.

Please let me know.

Business rule:

Notification (Top of form and when to send):



find_real_file.png



Notification (who will receive):

Note: We don't send ours to the event creator.   If you assign a change task to yourself, you probably don't need an email telling you that you did.   We also decided that using an event parameter as the recipient wasn't necessary.



Notification (what it will contain):

Below is a video of this all working together to make an email when a change task is assigned to a user:





If you're still not successful after this (like if the notification still says "Record inserted or updated" instead of "Event is fired"), that sounds like an issue with the ui policies on the notification page.   Try toggling between Default and Advanced view to see if that makes a difference.   Otherwise, this is as far as I can help you, and you'll need to get ServiceNow support involved directly.

That did the trick Justin!



The business rule code really helped.



Another side note that helped was the environment was just cloned and the glide.smtp.active in the sys_properties.list was set to false.  



I switched it to true and BOOM the emails fired from the events.

I had thought of that, actually, but I thought it would still appear in the logs that you listed.



I typically go to the "Sent" or "Outbox" folders in the left nav to see where they are.   Even if mail is off, they'll appear in the Outbox.


Thank you for all your support and help.



It means a lot to me and the fellow community!



Great site with awesome support!
