email alert containing list of problem files

Post by MrFox »

I have a flow set up where any problem jobs send out an email alert to the user. Within the body of the email is the problem jobs file name [job.name].

If 50 files are submitted and 25 of them fail Switch will send out 25x individual alert emails. Is it at all possible to combine the filenames of all problem jobs into the body of a single email? Perhaps having it send every couple of minutes? Basically so the user receives one email with a list of all the problem files.

Any help greatly appreciated

You could add an outgoing connection to Problem jobs and Assemble jobs after x minutes and then send a mail.

Another approach is to use this app: https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/pro ... g-messages

In both cases you would then of course not send mails when a job hits Problem jobs.

If I assemble all the jobs after x minutes surely the result will be a single job named after the first job? What I'm after is a single file containing all the names of all the failed jobs, or a simple list of all failed filenames contained within 1 email.

The almost unanimous silence suggests this isn't a thing. :cry:

Cheers for the suggestions

With the app Get Message that Freddy suggested in combination with this app
https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/pro ... m-template
You can get what you want.
Here is how that app works.

Assembling results in 1 job, but there is the variable [Job.NestedName]: that gives you a list of all the files in the folder. And when you process the result with the "Separator" <br> in an HTML mail you will get as many lines as there are files, or perhaps even better with "Prefix-Suffix" you can make it into a nice list (the prefix is <li>, the suffix </li>. Embed the variable inside <ul></ul> in the mail template and you will get a nice unordered list in the mail.
