Setting group task's owner as Email task's owner using WFM

Anurag_Ghosh

Hi All,
I am using WFM.I have a scenario where i have a Group Review task and after that i have an email task. I want to send mail from the person who took the ownership of the group task. In the email task i have set the owner as $IW_USER. Now my prob is that the mail is now going from the user who initiated the workflow instead of the person who took the ownership of the Group Review Task .Can i set the person who took the ownership of the Group Review task as the owner of the email task.
Please can somebody help me out?

Are you using a Perl or Java email program to send the email?
In either case, you could have your program take a parameter (the name of the GroupTask) with which it could first determine the owner of that task before composing the email and use that information in sending it (or dynamically altering the owner of the email task itself to be the same as the previous owner) and handle it that way.
OR
You could use the iwat trigger routine which has been discussed before in these forums (usually in relation to running a CGI Task after a GroupTask) to dynamically change the owner of the Email Task as soon as ownership of the GroupTask is taken - and thereby "do the right thing" as far as the existing OOTB Email code is concerned with respect to setting the From field. (This is my preferred way of doing this)
