}
user = serviceLocator.getUserService().findUserByUserName(selector);
if (user != null) {
  subject = "Soffid - Notification";
  message = "Automated mail sent ..............";
  
  if (comments != null && !comments.isEmpty()) {
    for (comment : comments) {
      message += comment.message;
    }
  }
  serviceLocator.getUserService().sendHtmlMailToActors(new String[]{user.userName}, subject, message);
}

Incoming transitions

The Incoming transitions tabs show the previous steps where the flow comes from. When you create a process from a template or from scratch default incoming transitions are defined. It is allowed to customize the default set up, add new transitions or delete transitions.

  • From: the previous step, where the flow come. Allows you to select where the workflow comes from.
  • Incoming transition: brief name to identify the transition. That is the name of the action the form will show to the final user.

  • Action: allows creating a custom script to perform specific actions.
When you create an incoming transition, Soffid creates the proper outcoming transition.
Example
Scroll through the list of roles and the list of grant hierarchy to execute some actions.
userName = executionContext.getVariable("userName");

roleList = serviceLocator.getApplicationService().findRolesByUserName(userName);
for (role:roleList) {
  //TODO
}

user = serviceLocator.getUserService().findUserByUserName(userName);
roleGrantList = serviceLocator.getApplicationService().findRoleGrantHierarchyByUser(user.id);
for (roleGrant:roleGrantList) {
  //TODO
}
