Greetings,

 

First attempt at sending a meeting request from a workflow. I want to use HTML as the email message body. But when I received the request, there was some extra content.

 

When: Thursday, January 29, 2015 2:00 PM-2:30 PM. UTC

Where: Blackhawks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

But after accepting the appointment, the above is not in the message body.

 

Anyone know what's going on and in particular how to get rid of the above text?

Hi Doug,

 

Would you be able to show a picture of the HTML you are using -- I'm guessing you put some stuff together in the Mail Event Item Message Body? Without seeing what is in there it's kind of hard to figure out how to get rid of the extra text.

 

Also I'm confused about what you mean when you write you received the request with extra content and after accepting the appointment, the above is not in the message body. So is the extra content the *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ? And is there more than one email? One with extra content, the notification/request, and one that doesn't have the correct content/stuff not in the message body, the confirmation of your acceptance... (maybe I'm just reading it weird Idk)? 

 

 


Here is the content of the HTML file that I used for the body and an image is attached that shows the extra stuff at the top. (Ignore the image rendering issue with the box. My first attempt was to embed the image in a Base64 encode and it didn't work right.)

 

 

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title></title>
        <style>
            body {
                font-family:"Trebuchet MS";
            }
            #AwesomeImg {
                float: right;
                margin: 10px;
                   max-width: 50%;
            
            }
            #AwesomeImg img {
                   max-width: 100%;
            }
            .MyContent {
             
            }
        </style>
    </head>

<p>Greetings from The Collaboration Guild.</p>
<p>WOW!!! Your interest in using Collaborative Technology is growing quickly. Awesome!!!</p>
<p>We’ve engaged in a number of meetings with you to discuss how to get started with SharePoint and we are working very hard to get the infrastructure upgraded to enable you to build business automation capabilities. So we’re sorry that we haven’t quite kept pace with these meetings, but hope this month’s content will be worth the wait.</p>
<P>Here’s what we are putting on the agenda:
    <ul>
<li>Security .. How does security really work in SharePoint and K2?</li>
<li>Document Libraries Advanced .. why “NO FOLDERS”???</li>
<li>The Social Contract .. what does it mean to be a Site Collection Owner?</li>
<li>The “Flow of the Work” .. how to draw the lines and boxes of a business process</li>
    </ul></P>
<p>We are still in the proof of concept phase of working as The Collaboration Guild. Please provide any and all feedback. Don’t hold back. We want to enable you and your co-workers to be able to work smarter.</p>
<p>Feel free to forward this meeting invite to any I might have missed. I’m going to implement a better solution for emailing Savvy Business Users like you.</p>

Hey Doug,

 

I've spoken with one of the senior engineers about this and it looks like a bug; he thinks this will take some more research and attention than I can really give currently. Would you be able to log a support ticket and attach the process definition to it so it can get checked out and fixed quicker?

 

Thanks!
