    Send Email Notification.

    Hello All,

    I have  a list with few items ,My requirement is to send mail to selected items.

    Like if i have 10 items in a list and i want to send mail to selected 5 then can i select those items and send mails to to selected users??

    Right now i used sharepoint designer which created a button in the RIBBON but in this case i can send mail to only 1 item if i select multiple items the button gets disabled.

    Is there any other approach to send mails??? 

    Thanks in Advance:):)

    Hi, 

    I believe based on the scenario you describe that you want to send an email to a set of users for a specific set of items?

    The easiest way to do this would be to first query the list for the ID of the items you need. The query filter will be set to the criteria that determines which items are selected. You will store the resulting ID values in a collection variable.

    You can then iterate through the collection using a for each loop and send an email based on each ID. The list of users to send the email to can also be determined in the same way or can be set earlier in the email (set a variable).

    Re: Send Email Notification.

    This thread brings up a question I have had that is indirectly related.  I have created some scheduled workflows similar to what you describe, which act on all list items, or a subset of them.  Yet, unless I am missing something, these workflows must be started from one item in the list, even though it may not be particularly pertinent to the workflow, and the item could conceivably get deleted at some point, so the workflow would have to be restarted on another item.  Is there a better way to do this; to associate a workflow with a list rather than with just one list item?
