Dear all,
We have a requirement where the customer would like an additional email notification in the RFx process which is not available in the E-Sourcing system.
What they want to do is send an email to Vendors who did not get awarded in the RFx Process and let them know.
Is it possible to create a custom email notification in any way, perhaps using the javax.mail classes?
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
If anyone has prior experience with this, please let me know. I would appreciate pointers on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma
Hi Reshma
This can be done via a script using the javax.mail.* api. I have done this already. You can also create a custom jar that has this code and deploy it to the server and everytime you want to send an email just call this jar. Let me know if you need any help.

Hi Thashin,
I understand you have done custom jar email notification for Transnet. I need to do this now for another component, Task Escalation. please contact me regarding correct way to do this. I have developed the custom java code to access Task info. What I need to know is that, does e-sourcing use its own queing mechanism to send out emails, if so what packages in IAPI does this use, or does it use normal java mail api to send out mails?
Assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Don't think it is possible to build a complete custom email template. However can you customize existing email templates.
Good Luck

Hi Kamlakar,
Thanks for the response. I am trying to trigger a new email during a certain event. I was trying to figure out if we could write a script using the javax.mail.* classes to send an email out from a script. Instead of a template, I would put the lines that need to go into the email in a Localized Resource and use it while triggering the email.
I am just wondering if anyone else has tried this out before.

Reshma
