Hi All,

 

Does K2 Five support smart actions with comments? An approver wants to add comments before approving or rejecting.

 

Thanks,

Pradeep

No, this Isn't supported at the moment on K2. However, a request was logged on our ideas portal which you can view and upvote here:

I get that your issue may not be supported but have a try in the above section and you might just get something out of it.

Hi Elvis,

I was asking about smart actions, where the approver can approver or reject by replying to the mail.

 

Thanks,

Hi Sello1,

 

The link which you provided is broken. Is there any valid document available stating that this feature is not available, as i need to inform my manager.

 

Thanks,

Pradeep

It's definetly not an existing K2 Smartactions feature but it is a common requested feature by the business.  The K2 out of the box SmartActions only allows for the action (decision), not the comment.  Not sure there is any formal documentation actually saying this.  Normally software companies do not include documentation on what their products do not do.

 

Before K2 email smartactions came out I wrote a custom component to do email approvals and added a comments tag.  So technically its possible but it would be a development effort (if you aren't using K2 Cloud) and require you to turn off the native out of the box K2 Smartforms feature.  However, these days we typically just add a note to the email notification saying if you want to add a comment, open the form and add it directly to the comments textbox on the form.  Normally this is good enough for the business.

 

Hope that helps.
