Issue/Introduction

We would like to send attachments in email via Gel script. We are using below code snippet but it is not working. We are able to send email notifications but the notification is failing when we include 'attach' command in the gel script.

 

Script

 

<gel:script

xmlns:core="jelly:core"

xmlns:util="jelly:util"

xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary"

xmlns:file="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.FileTagLibrary"

xmlns:mail="jelly:email" >

 

                <gel:setDataSource dbId="niku"/>

               

<mail:email

from=xxxx

to=xxxx

subject="Simple email"

                                                                attach="/fs0/clarity1/share/abc/Input/XXX_CLARITY_123456.csv">

                                                               

                                File Attach One File.

                </mail:email>

 

</gel:script>

Environment

Release :  16.1

Resolution

Here is an example you can customize.  Replace the "from" and "to" email addresses as appropriate for your environment

<gel:script
xmlns:core="jelly:core"
xmlns:util="jelly:util"
xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary"
xmlns:file="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.FileTagLibrary"
xmlns:mail="jelly:email" >

<core:invokeStatic var="v_config" className="com.niku.union.config.ConfigurationManager" method="getInstance" />
<core:set var="mailHost" value="${v_config.getProperties().getMailServer().getHost()}" />

<gel:log>${mailHost}</gel:log>

<!-- if you are using Clarity SaaS, then the "from" email must be he same as what you usually see from email notifications, for example: "[email protected]" -->

<mail:email 
  from="<Clarity email here>"
  to="[email protected]"
  subject="Simple email"
  server="${mailHost}"
  attach="/fs0/clarity1/share/abc/Input/XXX_CLARITY_123456.csv">
>
Hello World.
</mail:email>

</gel:script>
