Workflow email %(Initiator)

Updated June 27, 2018
asked on June 26, 2018

Hi,

I have a workflow that moves files to a specific folder.  Once the file reaches that folder I would like to be able to send the user an email stating that the file is there.  Since several people will be using this workflow I cannot put a standard email address for the reply.  I was hoping I could use the %(Initiator) token to achieve this.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We are using RIO with Active directory.

Thanks

Jen

In the designer go to Tools > Configure Trustee Directory, Manage.

Add a new LDAP config with the host as your primary domain controller. Leave set to Windows Authentication assuming the server is joined to the domain.

Now you can use the Find User activity to search active directory by username - which IS the value of the initiator token. This will return tokens from active directory including email

Yes you can use the initiator token to get the first part of the email address.  However that token likely looks like activedirectoryname\username.  Use a regular expression to retrieve only the username and add @emaildomain.com to the end of the token.

%(Initiator#<(\w+)$>#)@emaildomain.com
