Dear all,
does anyone has experince with broadcasting in web client?
We want to send a user an email after her submits data trough BOARD. (Just to give him a clear confirmation that we recieved his data.)
We are using BOARD 10.4.
I bulid this in the win client and it works.
But when I try to use it in web client no email will sent. The procedure don't show any error. It's just not sending an email.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jörn
Hi Jonathan Baetens,
thanks for you feedback to this.
We fixed it ourself.
We created a procuedure which will drop a .txt in a folder on the BOARD-Server. This procedure can be started at web frontend.
Further, we created a task which is checking every minute this folder (.bat-file). If there is a data in this folder, the BOARD will be started from commandline and run a procdure which included the boradcasting job.
It works, but it's just a compex workaround. I'm not setisfied with this.
And I'm expecting from BOARD to bring the Broadcasting function into the web client.
Futher to this, I'm also not fine the Broadcasting anyway (See my Idea here: Broadcasting: Subject, CC, BC and Body )
Regards,
Jörn
Hi Jorn,
I am happy to hear that you found a workaround and completely agreeing that the Boradcasting functionality needs to be brought to the web client. This functionality was initially promised to be available in 07/2018 in 10.3 during the roadmap discussion in BOARDVille 2018, but was eventually not included.
Hopefully it will be available in 10.5 instead
All the best,
Jonathan
Hi Jorn,
From what I know, the broadcasting is not supported yet in 10.3 (Differences between web client and win client (broadcasting falls under procedures -> reporting tab), but it should be supported in one of the upcoming versions. I am not sure about the exact timeline as the roadmap has been shuffled around quite a bit in the latest months.
We have supported this functionality in the web client with an ad-hoc powershell script, launched through a BOARD procedure.
You can contact me in private in case you would need the script.
All the best,
Jonathan
