To send mail dependent on another task

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All,

Do anyone know How to send a mail after the completion of a particular task.??

It is like I have written a macro to send an email with the snapshots of charts.

Once the distribution task of the particular application completes, this mail should get trigger an send it to particular recipients.

I am not having any idea to achieve this.

Kindly share your thoughts on how to achieve this.

Its little urgent.

Thanks,

Leni Balakrishnan

Publisher ignores all marcos so you will not be able to get this to work through publisher. You can try setting it up to run in a .bat file using the desktop version.

Hi,

You can create a batch file and run it through external task tab on QMC.

Then you can run this task on success of another task, the option is availble on the same tab.

Hope this helps.

Amay.

Dear Leni,

I have applied Sending Emails to user sucessfully at my end :-

1 Create Macro to Send Email

and on post reload of documents setting -> triggers you can run the macro

2 To excute this macro you have to run macro externally this won't work via QMC.

3 create batch file for executing macro

4 Through windows schedular you can schedule jobs to send emails to users.

Hope this solve your problem

Bye

Please let me know where the issue is?

Also can you attach the batch file you have written for sending mail.

Through windows scheduler it is working fine for as well.

But it will trigger on a defined time right??

But I need to trigger the email based on the completion of another task.

I have created a task in Supporting Tasks -> External Program and in trigger section I have added like trigger on xxx task like that.

The task is running but nothing is happening. Simply it shows like running.

The below is the statement I am using in bat file

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" /vvar_SendEmail=1 /NoSecurity "C:\Users\leni.balakrishnan\Desktop\Test_Loop.qvw"

Hi,

Have you considered using NPrinting for districution of PDFs via email ?

With NPrinting you can schedule QV apps to reload and send the output to folders or an email distibution list.

You can tailor filters for individual users, too.

Neil

Thanks Vikas.

For me also it is working with Windows scheduler. There is no issue in that.

But I want to do this from QMC. Because as soon as my distribution task completes I want to trigger this email.

Using windows scheduler we can just schedule the mail to send in a particular time and not depending on a task running in QMC right?

But I need to set the variable as well.

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" /vvar_SendEmail=1 /NoSecurity "C:\Users\leni.balakrishnan\Desktop\Test_Loop.qvw"

Jst add an "exit" keyword in next line of your batch file.

Run it through external tasks, That should work.

Hi Leni,

I am facing the same problem.

The standard possibilites "alert-email" and "sending notify emails to named users" do not solve your (and my and I am sure some others) issue.

I am going to try generating a mail trough a batch file via a supporting task. The task should depend on success of another task.

Or did you solve it in another way?

Best Regards

Roland

I tried with the supporting task but it didnt work (I am using Qlikview 11). But I came to know that it is working in Qv 11.2. I am still having this issue. Currently using windows scheduler only.

If you find a solution for this using Qv 11 kindly let me know.
