Workflow Email Approval Sample

This is the code from my blog post describing a workflow based email approval app

Pre-requisites

  1. Use a local SMTP / email server like Papercut so that you can send emails from the workflow and see them appear.
  2. You will need to set all 3 projects to startup. Right-click the solution in VS, choose Set startup projects and make sure all 3 are set to start.

Running the sample

  1. Run the code.
  2. Check your email app (Papercut).
  3. You should see 3 emails, approve or decline as desired.
  4. You should receive another email summarising the approval responses once they are all complete.

Common Issues

Check that you have the correct URLs in the code. Visual Studio may decide to use different ports. URLs are hard coded at the following locations

  • ApproverClient\app.config
  • ApprovalWorkflow\Workflow.xamlx (Send Approval Email activity)
  • Approval.Web\Web.config

If you decide to push this into IIS rather than IIS Express, the above URLs will change.
