Open up an Outlook mail with attachments and eSignature in Aurena

Can you elaborate more on the e-signature? What is it, in this case (I know what it is in some contexts)? How do you create it? Where is it? Etc.

Hi @Mathias Dahl ,

Thanks for the reply. As an example, if I try to create a new email using Outlook it will load the mail with the default signature.

but when we open up the new mail using Aurena, it’s not getting the signature like above. it’s shown below.

Is there any possibility to get a signature using AurenaAgent?

Thanks & BR,

Isuru

Hi,

Okay, I understand now. I think that should be possible by using a document macro that will send the e-mail. It still needs the Aurena Agent to work, but it will replace the default e-mail functionality.

Below you will find a working document macro that can be used to send an e-mail. Please note that it does not add any signature. That part you need to find out yourself (search for "vbscript outlook signature" or similar).

Public Sub CreateNewOutlookMail

   On Error Resume Next

   Dim ol, newMail, olMailItem, file, path

   olMailItem = 0
   Set ol = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

   Set newMail = ol.CreateItem(olMailItem)

   newMail.Subject = "Regarding " & ScriptValues.Item("DOCUMENT_TITLE").Value

   newMail.Body = "This is the message body. You should replace it in the macro with something nicer." & vbCrLf

   ' Fix up slashes and backslashes

   path = Replace(Replace(ClientScriptValues.Item("CHECK_OUT_PATH").Value, "/", "\"), "\\", "\")

   ' Add a backslash at the end of the path if it is not there

   If Not Mid (path, Len (path)) = "\" Then
    path = path & "\"
   End If

   file = path & "temp\" & ClientScriptValues.Item("LOCAL_FILE_1").Value

   newMail.Attachments.Add (file)

   newMail.Display

   Set ol = Nothing

   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      MsgBox "Got an error when trying to send the e-mail using Outlook. Error number: " & CStr(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description & Err.Source
      Err.Clear
   End If

End Sub

Check out my recent post here on Community on how to write a basic macro and also my recent post on Workplace on how document macros work in general. The official documentation also explains the basic flow:

Good luck!
