How to set up follow up when using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send email

[Former Member]

Hi Every experts,

My client wants to send an external email from SAP with follow up function. For example, the receiver should process the email within 2 hours after receiving it, otherwise, pop up a reminder message in microsoft outlook.

Can we use function modules SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or SO_OBJECT_SEND to do it? How to do it? Is there any example?

Thanks,

Shirley

Hi Shirley,

I was able to accomplish this by setting an Outlook appointment from ABAP to the intended recipient(s) (email addresse(s)).

See this link:

All you have to do is set the date/time of the appointment to the time you would like the reminder to pop-up (note: the recipient does not have to "accept" the meeting, it will still "remind" them of it on the date/time that you specify).

If you have found another way please do let us know as well.

Thank you,

Chris
