I need to send a task link and an attachment file that was uploaded previously in the same stream, how do I attach this file and send the link of the task flow in an email task?

Hi Samuel,

Following example could help you:

github.com

flowable/flowable-engine/blob/d05e91fee90098973a117a45c438c2ee60baaa9e/modules/flowable-engine/src/test/java/org/flowable/engine/test/bpmn/mail/EmailSendTaskTest.java#L170


public void testHtmlMail() throws Exception {
    runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("htmlMail", CollectionUtil.singletonMap("gender", "male"));


    List<WiserMessage> messages = wiser.getMessages();
    assertEquals(1, messages.size());
    assertEmailSend(messages.get(0), true, "Test", "Mr. <b>Kermit</b>", "flowable@localhost", Collections.singletonList("kermit@activiti.org"), null);
}


@Test
@Deployment
public void testTextMailWithFileAttachment() throws Exception {
    HashMap<String, Object> vars = new HashMap<>();
    vars.put("attachmentsBean", new AttachmentsBean());
    runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("textMailWithFileAttachment", vars);


    List<WiserMessage> messages = wiser.getMessages();
    assertEquals(1, messages.size());
    WiserMessage message = messages.get(0);
    MimeMultipart mm = (MimeMultipart) message.getMimeMessage().getContent();
    assertEquals(2, mm.getCount());
    String attachmentFileName = mm.getBodyPart(1).getDataHandler().getName();

There is also test to send html email.

Regards
Martin

With this idea, I can also do that in the email send type
link of the task that the user is responible? As a notification saying that she has a task and in that email already send the link of the task to the person.

In the flowable design, for email task, there is option to attachments. I tried to use the document variable, that is output of previous step of generate document. The mail is sent, but no file is attached
