Email Attribute for Workflow

Workflow

Updated March 6, 2014

asked on March 6, 2014

I found the attribute for Forms searching the support site but was unable to find the attribute for Workflow. Does anyone know the email attribute to assign to a user for Workflow to access when sending an email to the user? Is there a way to assign a generic email attribute that all features can access when working with the user instead of assigning attributes by product?

For LF users, the email address for WF is saved in the [Workflow]E-mail attribute. If that one does not exist, then WF will check the [Forms]E-mail attribute.

For Windows users, WF reads the email from active directory when an active directory user provider is used.

This is interesting.

Would Forms fall back on workflow email attribute if it does not find the forms email attribute for a user?

Pretty sure the attribute for workflow email is:

[Workflow]E-mail

If you want to find out more of these type of attributes, you can make an account in admin console without a license, then go to the Workflow Designer and find the user. When you are in the box/prompt for that lookup, you should be able to type in values for some fields. After you enter the information there, you can look at the users attributes in the Admin Console to see the attributes you would need to set for those fields to come through.

You might want to create a means to generate import files of attributes with some default settings for new users. Usually most of our clients want to enable the retain file extension attribute for new users so they have a file with that ready for them to use.
