ATG- Issue in sending email through atg scenario

Question

I have a requirement to send an email after registration of a new user my ATG application.

I have created a template jsp and created a scenario in ATG for that.

I also configured config/atg/scenario/IndividualEmilSender.properties with below key-value-

contextPathPrefix=/teststore
siteHttpServerName=localhost
siteHttpServerPort=8080

And /config/atg/userprofiling/email/TemplateEmailSender.properties as:-

$class=atg.userprofiling.email.TemplateEmailInfoImpl
mailingName=Your Mailing
contextPathPrefix=/teststore
messageSubject^=/atg/dynamo/service/SMTPEmail.defaultSubject
messageFrom^=/atg/dynamo/service/SMTPEmail.defaultFrom
contentProcessor=/atg/userprofiling/email/HtmlContentProcessor
fillFromTemplate=true
templateURL=/NewUserRegistered.jsp
loggingDebug=true

But getting following exception-

ERROR [ScenarioManager] Error while processing individual timer message InstanceTimerMessage[17000001,/TestStore/RegistrationScenario.sdl,NewMembers,3,in 1 mins]; rolling back the transaction java.lang.NullPointerException

Please help to resolve this! Thanks!

Answer 1

You are getting a NullPointerException because your DefaultEmailInfo is not configured correctly.

Have a look at the chapter around Sending Targeted E-mail as well as the SendMail action in the documentation.

It is likely that you are missing one or more of the required configuration changes.
