windows pop up alert through Laserfiche workflow

Workflow

Updated March 8, 2020

asked on April 1, 2014

Our customer is looking for a windows pop-up alert along with email being sent to different approval level through workflow.

Can we send any kind of pop up alert notifying the user of the pending invoice to be approved to rejected?

Other than email, Workflow doesn't have any notification capabilities out of the box. This could be accomplished through some custom coding, but it would take a bit of work. You may even be able to leverage a third party notification system like Snarl or Growl to make life easier. Though I've never worked with it, Snarl has a notification API that looks relatively simple.

Hi Nishit,

We've had the same request a couple of times so created our own notification tool. It wasn't too difficult as there's load of example on the internet for this kind of thing.

Ben

Hi Moana & Mark,

The software I wrote uses the NotifyIcon class. It's been around for a number of years which is great because there are tons of examples, like this one on Code Project.

The BalloonTip and/or icon properties can be used to provide the notifications.

A Timer class provides a trigger to search the Laserfiche repository to fuel the notifications.

Finally, a ContextMenuStrip class to provide a right-click menu on the system tray icon.

Does Laserfiche have any plans in the [hopefully, near] future about developing some sort of pop up notification?

It is something we're looking into, but not scheduled for a near future release.
