Problem

A Forum reader recently asked this question:

"I want to trigger mail using Manual task driver based on value chage in a specific attribute. Is this possible?"

And here's the response from Jeff Johnson ...

Solution

Here is how I send email for any status other than success. I put this on the output transformation ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><policy>
	<description>This policy sends email in event of a transaction without a SUCCESS code.</description>
	<rule>
		<description>Email the status</description>
		<comment xml:space="preserve">If the status level does not equal
		SUCCESS, send an email alert to xxx@xxx.gsu.edu.</comment> <comment

			</and>
		</conditions>
		<actions>
			<do-send-email server="xxx.gsu.edu" type="text">

	</rule>
</policy>
