# 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.                                                            |

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>
```
