Hi guys,

 

My AEM version is 6.5.11.

I created a workflow only contains participant step, selected a group and checked the "Notify user via email."

 

 

 

when I started the workflow, it will throw error and email sent fail:

The error is "java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean", it is caused by my config file "com.day.cq.workflow.impl.email.EMailNotificationService.config".

 

Error config:

notify.onabort="true"
notify.oncomplete="true"
notify.oncontainercomplete="true"
notify.useronly="false"
 
Correct config:
notify.onabort=B"true"
notify.oncomplete=B"true"
notify.oncontainercomplete=B"true"
notify.useronly=B"false"

It seems you need to configure smtp server in aem.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/communities/administer/email.html?lang=en#
you might need to reach out to your network team for the configuration related to your organization for configuring this if you will be using your organization email server.

    Do you have an SMTP server set up in the Day CQ Mail Service Configuration?
