Email Test Form and Email Logic Control with Server Side Scripts

This is a sample procedure that has 2 parts:

1)  An admin form that allows you to test emailing functionality visually.
2)  Server side logic that controls all the emailing for a process based on action name/stage name you pass.  All you have to do is call the script from an action/stage event.

Also included stored procedure to creates line item for emails in a group.  Some of the code used is below.

Edit for code cleanup

Stored Procedure for group email

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BuildGroupEmails] 
    @EmailGroup nvarchar(500)
AS
BEGIN   
    Declare @Emails     nvarchar(2000)
    SELECT @Emails = coalesce(@Emails + '; ', '') + eEMailAddress FROM eUser WHERE eUserName IN 
    (   SELECT eUserName FROM eAssignment WHERE eRoleName = @EmailGroup)    
    SELECT @Emails 
END

Call email script from Action/Stage

//Calls code to manage email and adds to notes
ProcessContext.ActionNote = EmailScripts.SendEmails(ProcessContext.ActionName, ProcessContext.FolderId )

Server Side Call to Send Email



The only thing you really need to do here is set the default values and the Case logic info

Well it works but always room for improvements.  Enjoy.
