    Workflow Emails

    Hiya Guys,
    I am finally getting round to playing with Contour properly rather that just tinkering.

    OK I am setting up a Blog Post Comment Form and when a comment is posted I would like to be notified by email.

    So I have added the email item in the workflow for this and this works great as expected, however I would like to put in some kind of dyanmic placeholders that get replaced.

    For example here is the email I setup:

    Subject Line:
    New Blog Post Comment on [nodeName]

    Message:

    Hello Warren,
    Someone has posted a comment on the [nodeName].
    Sent on [Date] at [Time]

    Please review the comment for approval.

    Here is the message I receieved, obviously I took a wild guess with the placeholders.

    Hello Warren, Someone has posted a comment on the [nodeName]. Sent on [Date] 
    at [Time] Please review the comment for approval.


    Name:
         Warren testing email
    Email:
             [email protected]
    Website: 
         http://google.co.uk
    Comment:
         please work with email....

    • Are there any default placeholders that I don't know about?
    • Is it possible to modify/deploy some code that would help me to do this, as I think it would be useful to know what page/node the comment form was submitted from.

    Thanks,
    Warren

    Hi Warren,

    The default send as mail workflow doesn't have a placeholders option. But you could create a custom workflow type that does have this functionality.

    You can find a full workflow type sourcecode in the developer docs http://umbraco.org/products/umbraco-contour/help-and-support/developer-documentation
