Hello.

Maybe this will help you. By default the simpleWorkflowNotifier is quite spammy, for example the assignee will get two notifications: case open and case assigned. This is the configuration I use that only sends notification to the assignee when they get assigned a case and to the original requestor once it's finished.

            <simpleWorkflowNotifier>
                <name>Work completion notifier</name>
                <description>Initiator of request is notified when a approval or manual case is ended.</description>

                <expressionFilter>
                    <script>
                        <code>event.isDelete()</code>
                    </script>
                </expressionFilter>

                <transport>file</transport>
                <!--                <transport>mail</transport>-->
            </simpleWorkflowNotifier>

           <simpleWorkflowNotifier>
                <name>Work assigned notifier</name>
                <description>Person who gets assigned for a task (approval case or manual work item) gets notified.
                </description>

                    </script>

Hi,

the <simpleWorkflowNotifier> is used to send the default mails. One mail is send to the approver and one mail is send to the requester. I think if there are more than one approver, every approver will receive an email notification. See the documentation: Workflow notifications<https://docs.evolveum.com/midpoint/reference/cases/workflow-3/workflow-notifications/#some-examples>.

Kind regards,
Fabian

Betreff: [midPoint] simpleWorkflowNotifier sends 3 emails. How to only send 1 email?
Hi,

I set up a <simpleWorkflowNotifier> but it always sends 3 emails every time a role that requires approval is requested.
I tested with <simpleFocalObjectNotifier> for role and it only sends 1 email as expected.

Does anyone know how to make simpleWorkflowNotifier only send 1 email?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards,
Hsin-Fang
