I am testing WFA 3.0 for approval point ,

Can send test  email from WFA config but not getting email from running workflow 

 

for WFA approval point email notification 

is it possible to add custom message about workflow pending approval in email  

 

How to  add current workflow info in   Approval Point   (current variables/user input  of work flow )

or   how to  include current workflow user input in approval email ?

 

 

we have WFA 2.2 upgraded to 3.0 build 2729076

Refer to the workflow Developers guide of WFA 3.0, Refer page 37 and 38.

https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1644818

 

Approval point examples are in predefined workflows You can open the following predefined workflows in the Designer to understand how approval points are used:

• Remove a Clustered Data ONTAP Volume

• Controller and shelf upgrade of a HA pair

• Migrate Volumes

 

How to  add current workflow info in   Approval Point   (current variables/user input  of work flow )

or   how to  include current workflow user input in approval email ?

 

Press CTRL+DOWN to see the variables which you can add in the comments.

Thanks for your mail.

The content is not sent via email.

It appears only in the Execution Status. ( Execution->Execution Status-> (See last column) Approval Point Comments.

 

but workflow approval point without any comment doesnt send email -->This should not be the case. Make sure

that you have clicked on "Workflow Execution waiting for approval" in "Administration->Account Settings" screen.

I tried with a non-ldap account and it worked fine with me.
