Hi everyone, 

I would like the external users to receive the eform from the email notification. In k2, can we do that? I mean no need to login into K2 environment. They can open the page directly from email.

Yes. In your form, in the panel on the right, scroll to the bottom, extend the last group and choose “anonymous access”.

Hi ​@ScottCaseIT 

Thank you for your help. I just done that part but seems like the user did not receive the email yet. 

So here are the workflow activities:

The recipients will receive the email based on the email that I fetch from database. It successfully passes the data. However, the email didnt receive the task?

You are going to run into challenges trying to use a task with an anonymous user as tasks require a named user as tasks and my extension their worklist items are security trimmed.   Anonymous users will never satisfy that requirement.

 

I feel there is a bigger solution architecture discussion to be had here than tackling it at the feature / implementation level.

Hi ​@ScottCaseIT 

Yes, after investigation, the user task should use registered user and cannot be done by anonymous. Btw thank you for your respond!
