Start with Camunda 7 tomcat / send email

[Zivile_Botyriute]

Hello,

can someone explain to me how to program sending mail using Camunda 7 tomcat? Sorry, I have no experience at all, so I need a step-by-step explanation. It is very important and urgent…
I tried to use an example GitHub - camunda-community-hub/camunda-platform-7-mail: Mail connectors for Camunda Platform 7

but I don’t understand… it says “Add camunda-bpm-mail-core-1.5.1.jar to your application server (e.g. apache-tomcat-8.0.24\lib).” but i can’t find this .jar file.

Now I have project like this

What I need to do?

I have process like this:

The marked task must send a letter. In the step before this, the user (id) is selected, the mail should be sent to this user’s mail.

Camunda 8 works fine (I found an example GitHub - NPDeehan/SendEmailCamunda8Example: This is an example project that shows how you can send an email using Camunda Cloud) but I need on Camunda 7…

Maybe @jonathan.lukas you can help? In github I see your name…

What am I doing wrong?

1. I downloaded the jar file from the internet because I couldn’t find it on github…
2. I configured the task.
   And I get an error:
   
   

mail-config.properties file looks like:

I placed it on the server in the conf folder.

Task looks like:

Problem solved. If it will be relevant to someone in the future, the actions to be taken:

1. Add the jar file in the lib folder of the server.

2. Copy the mail-config.properties file to the server’s conf folder.
   

3. add the line:
   set “MAIL_CONFIG=%CATALINA_HOME%\conf\mail-config.properties”
   in the server’s bin folder, to the setenv.bat file.

Glad that issue was solved but remember it is 2024 and one simply donot download jars from Internet. Security risk is too high.

Here are some trusted resources :

Maven Repository: org.camunda.bpm.extension » camunda-bpm-mail-core » 1.5.1 (mvnrepository.com)

You can extract it from the zip attached in Github Release page as well.
