Each email notification can contain the following parts:

• The notification message

• The HTML content from Oracle BPM Worklist:

  This is a read-only view of Oracle BPM Worklist on the task. For information on how you can configure email notifications to include the content from Oracle BPM Worklist, see Creating an Email Notification.

• Task attachments:

  For notifications that include task attachments.

• Actionable links

Notifications through SMS and IM contain only the notification message.

The notification message is an XPath expression that can contain static text and dynamic values. In creating the messages, only the task BPEL variable is available for dynamic values. This restriction is because the messages are evaluated outside the context of the BPEL process. The payload in the task variable is also strongly typed to contain the type of the payload for XPath tree browsing. The XPath extension function hwf:getNotificationProperty(propertyName) is available to get properties for a particular notification. The function evaluates to corresponding values for each notification. The propertyName can be one of the following values:

• recipient

  The recipient of the notification

• recipientDisplay

  The display name of the recipient

• taskAssignees

  The task assignees

• taskAssigneesDisplay

  The display names of the task assignees

• locale

  The locale of the recipient

• taskId

  The ID of the task for which the notification is meant

• taskNumber

  The number of the task for which the notification is meant

• appLink

  The HTML link to the Oracle BPM Worklist task details page

The following example demonstrates the use of hwf:getNotificationProperty and hwf:getTaskResourceBundle:

concat('Dear ', hwf:getNotificationProperty('recipientDisplay'), ' Task ',
/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:taskNumber, ' is assigned to you. ',
hwf:getTaskResourceBundleString(/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:taskId,
'CONGRATULATIONS', hwf:getNotificationProperty('locale')))

This results in a message similar to the following:

Dear Cooper, James Task 1111 is assigned to you. Congratulations
