How to create HTML format email notification in Workflow

acezone

hi All,

Could someone tell me, how to create html format email notification? Right now in my workflow email notification is in plain text format?

For email notification I am using iwsend_mail.ipl.

Your suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Well, you could read the documentation for iwsend_mail.ipl (run it with the '-h' flag at the very least) which will provide two different ways in which you could have it generate HTML formatted email -- or -- you could switch to using the iw_solution_email.ipl script (located in IWHOME/local/config/wft/solutions) which is the generally recommended practice these days - it dumps the job / task information into a temporary file in XML format and then uses PTs (that you specify within task-level variables) to produce the email header, the HTML formatted body, and [optionally] a plain-text body.

There's some documentation on that script too - in the manuals, in the script, and in the forums.

The other option is to roll-your-own script for doing email...
