How to add outbound email in RITM activity line

[AdamUMC]

Hi there,

Anyone any idea how I can add outbound mail in the RITM activity line?
I was thinking about something like this;

It's no Additional Comment nor a Work Note, it's someone inbetween. I can add the sent mail within an Work Note, but unfortunately the emailbody can only be added with unnecessary HTML code, which makes it uselless to do so. For example;

Is there any better option available?

Thanks and best regards!

Hi @AdamUMC,

The cleanest way to show outbound mail in the RITM activity line is to enable “Emails – correspondence” (or “Sent/Received Emails”) in the Activity formatter, rather than copying the email body into a Work Note.

I would recommend:

1.Enable email activity on RITM

- Go to System Properties → UI Properties and ensure the role‑based property for viewing emails in the activity formatter includes your roles.

- Confirm that “Emails – correspondence” (or “Sent/Received Emails”) is enabled for the RITM form; this will automatically show outbound emails as entries in the activity stream without extra scripting.

2.Avoid HTML‑heavy Work Notes

- If you still want to capture the email content, use a Text‑area field or a custom journal field instead of pasting the raw HTML‑body into work_notes, or strip HTML tags before writing it.

3.Optional: custom “Email” activity type

- You can create a custom activity stream type (e.g., “Outbound Email”) and a business rule that writes a clean summary line when an outbound email is sent, so the activity stays readable.

Hope this helps...

Go to Email properties and make sure , email properties for outbound is set to true

Make sure Notification, business rule and event  on sc_req_item table are properly configured

as per your screenshot incoming email is already configured to be seen in activity log

To see outgoing email ensure this is added in activity filter

-> click on Funnel icon and click Configure available fields

-> ensure both of these are available on right side

Hi all,

Thanks for all very fast responses! Thanks a lot to all three of you!
All answers are correct. Hereby my summary:

1.) - Go to System Properties → UI Properties and ensure the role‑based property for viewing emails in the activity formatter includes your roles.
> Could not find any related setting here. Skipped this step.

2.) Confirm that “Emails – correspondence” (or “Sent/Received Emails”) is enabled for the RITM form; this will automatically show outbound emails as entries in the activity stream without extra scripting.
> This was already activated at RITM's ("Emails - correspondence" & "Emails - autogenerated" as well).

3.) Email Properties > Email Outbound Configuration > "Email sending enabled"
> Was disabled here. By enabling, the sent mail is shown and can be unfolded for it's content (body/text).
