<invoke
    inputVariable="emailMessage"
    operation="send" 
    outputVariable="resultMessage"
    partnerLink="emailProvider"/>

In the Project Explorer, create a new orchestration project.
Select
File > New > BPEL Process
.
Name the process and click Finish.
In the Participants view, create a new Partner Service Provider.
Select System Services.
Select
Email
.
From Participants view, drag the
send
operation to the canvas to create an invoke activity. This activity sends the email message to people in your identity service enabled on the Process Server.
Add additional programming logic. For example:
Add a receive activity that receives the input to be associated with the email.
Use the input tab of the invoke to assign data to the variable. See the examples below.
Use the send operation's fault message to catch communication errors with your email service.

In the
Input
tab of the invoke, select XPaths as the Assignment Type.
Select
Add
.
In the
E/L
panel, select Literal.
In the From column, select the dialog button and generate literal contents. Process Developer automatically finds the correct schema for the selected single-part element-based variable and generates a literal template for you as shown:
Generated Template
<aem:emailMessage xmlns:aem="http://schemas.active-endpoints.com/email/2007/01/email.xsd">
   <aem:from>string</aem:from>
   <aem:replyTo>string</aem:replyTo>
   <aem:to>string</aem:to>
   <aem:cc>string</aem:cc>
   <aem:bcc>string</aem:bcc>
   <aem:subject>string</aem:subject>
   <aem:body mimeType="string"></aem:body>
</aem:emailMessage>
To avoid errors, be sure to set the body mimeType to a valid type such as
text/plain
. See the example in Step 5.
Use one of the following tips to populate the
emailMessage
elements with the appropriate strings:
Create XPaths expressions, one per element. For example, to populate the <aem:to> element, create an expression such as FROM
$quoteRequest/quote:contact/quote:name()
TO
aem:to
.
Create an expression with a
doXslTransform
function. This solution requires that you create an XSL file containing all the transformation details for the email elements. For example,
doXslTransform ('monitorEmail.xsl', $handleAlertRequest)
Set the Assignment Type to XQuery. Then you can add {expressions} or strings directly to each
emailMessage
element.
