# MailSender delegate

A delegate used for sending mails from the workflow.

| Field name  | Required                                 | Description                                                                                                              |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| mailTo      | One of the recipient fields is mandatory | User expression for the users that should receive the mail.                                                              |
| mailToRoles | One of the recipient fields is mandatory | A comma separated list of roles that should receive the mail.                                                            |
| mailToUsers | One of the recipient fields is mandatory | A comma separated list of user names that should receive the mail.                                                       |
| template    | No                                       | The name of the template that should be used to generate the email.                                                      |

The delegate is deprecated. Replace your service task containing this delegate with a script task, for example:

```
<scriptTask id="scripttask1" name="Notify Requester" scriptFormat="groovy" activiti:autoStoreVariables="false">
    <script><![CDATA[
        def usersIds = users.getUserIds("role(Requester)");
        if (usersIds.isEmpty()){
            loggerApi.warn("No users to send a mail to, no mail will be sent");
        } else {
             mail.sendMails(usersIds, "in-progress", null, execution);
        }
    ]]></script>
</scriptTask>
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developer.collibra.com/workflows/designing-workflows/processes/shape-repository/service-task/delegates/mailsender-delegate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
