Send email asynchronously

Question

Why is the "Execute asynchronously (the main operation does not wait...)" option disabled for Send e-mail notification action? Is it because email is always sent asynchronously?

We have a business rule that sends email when some specific properties are modified in a User object. However, there is a delay of about 10-15 seconds, on an average, on the web interface due to this. If we disable this business rule, the confirmation on the web interface is almost instantaneous.

It looks like the send email is not working asynchronously and the option to set it as asynchronous is also disabled.

Is there a way to work around this?

Hello,

Yes, indeed, currently you cannot make the Send e-mail notification action to execute asynchronously, and it is always sent synchronously. Starting from Adaxes 2014.1 to be available on April 10, it will be possible to make this action asynchronous.

Hello,

Today, we released Adaxes 2014.1. Starting from this version, you can send E-mail and SMS notifications asynchronously from Business Rules, Custom Commands, and Scheduled Tasks. You can download it here.
