Action with @MailSend

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have a simple form that includes the following two fields:1 - Created_By Default Value @Name([CN];@UserName)

2 - Date_Created Default Value @Today

I would like to create an Action using the @MailSend command to send an email to the “Created_By” and reference the “Date_Created”.

Something like:

@MailSend(Created_By ; “” ; “” ; "Form Submitted on " : Date_Created; “” ; “” ; [INCLUDEDOCLINK])

This is not working. I am also unsure about any other @Commands that I need either before of after the @MailSend Command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to convert the Date_Created field to text@MailSend(Created_By ; “” ; “” ; "Form Submitted on " : @Text(Date_Created); “” ; “” ; [INCLUDEDOCLINK])

Assuming that the created by field is an authors field then I wouldn’t store the name using [cn] but simply store @username for a start.

Secondly if the date field is indeed a date then you will need to @text it to combine it with a string, e.g.

assuming you want the date only:

"Form Submitted on " + @text(Date_Created;“S0”)

I have the action working in the Notes Client with

@MailSend(Created_By ; “” ; “” ; "Form Submitted on " + @Text(Date_Created) ; “” ; “” ; [IncludeDoclink])

However, I cannot get it to work in Internet Explorer.

I have also created an agent called “email” and run the agent with the following command

@Command([ToolsRunMacro]; “Email”)

I get the same result. I can run action/agent in the Notes Client but not in Internet Explorer.

I am missing something?

Do you have anonymous access enabled on the DB? Make the Created_By field editable and open the form in IE, what is listed in the field? I tested the same formula and it worked.

I do not have anonymous in the ACL. The Created_By field is editable. It has @Name([CN];@UserName) as the default value. Therefore, when I open it it in IE it has Shane Rowe in the field.

Are there any @Commands before or after that I am missing. Currently, I have the following commands:

@Command([FileSave]);

@MailSend(Created_By ; “” ; “” ; "Form Submitted on " + @Text(Date_Created) ; “” ; “” ; “”);

@Command([CloseWindow]);

@Command([OpenFrameset];“Wires”)

Is it not sending email or not going to the frame set? I testes your commands and it sent email and took me to correct frame set. Do you see any errors on the server console, assuming you are doing this on a server copy.

check this TN, it might be default view.
