How to... create agent that sends mail notification when new web doc is created..?

hi, i thought this was going to be easy (thanks to domino):

create an agent that would send a notification mail when a new web document is being created.

i created an agent with these settings:

  • shared

  • trigger = on event

  • runtime: after doc are created / modified

  • edit settings: where agents run: server

  • default access for viewing/running: all readers and above

the person who signed the agent is listed in the run simple/formula agents in the server document…

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance, Patrick

The best place to trigger this type of agent is the WebQuerySave event on the form. From there you can launch almost any type of agent.

You can also build a @function agent and run it directly in the WebQuerySave event. Take a look at the exemple here: http://www.actisphere.info/blog/flafblog.nsf/plinks/WSRV-5Q7FQ7 ( follow the link in the text for some explanations in english )

what i did (and what worked)

first created a simple agent with the option to send a newsletter summary, ran it.

after that I changed the action into send an email and the trigger was stil on

:o)

ow, agents works fine on the client side, not on the web side…

Subject: I have had this problem for years

I have been around the block on this with several versions of Notes. I have tried triggers like you have. In the end, I have had to use a scheduled agent. I have a field like mailsw which is set to “0”. I have a view that selects only those docs with a “0” in mailsw. Then I have an agent that runs on schedule that will send the email and set the switch to “1”. That works. I wish the other methods did.
