Problem with "welcome Mail"

Question

Hello,

when we create an user we send an "welcome mail" with UPN and password out. Sometimes the manager of this user is on vacation or cant for some reason not forward the email. For that reason i want to create an custom command so that the Service Desk worker can send that Mail.

That means that the Service Desk worker logs in on the Webui and uses that custom command. User A that should be getting the Mail should be chosen, and after that user B should be chosen and after that a mail should be sent. The info for user b should be in that mail. We write the initial password in an custom attribute so that should not be a problem.

How can i achive this? With object parameters? But then i cant use the send email action.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

To achieve the desired, you need to use a custom command with an AD object picker parameter. The user targeted by the custom command will be the email recipient, and the command will email the information about the user selected in that AD object picker parameter.

However, you need to send this email via a PowerShell script in the Run a program or PowerShell script action. It cannot be done via the Send e-mail notification action because there is no way to obtain the attribute values of the new user and the email address of the recipient just with value references. For information about sending emails via a script, have a look at the SendMail method. For more details about scripting in Adaxes, have a look at the Server-side scripting article in our SDK.
