I Need to Send an Automatic Email with Lotus Notes

If you don't know, Lotus Notes is an email client used in a lot of companies around the world. Therefore, I use it at work everyday, but someday I needed to send an automatic email to a few people all Fridays at 10:00.
 
To get this task accomplished I decided to create an agent and avoid remembering the fact of sending the email. As you can image, I did this example on a Spanish version of Lotus Notes 8.5 but I will explain it clearly enough.

The first step is getting yourself into the inbox, then select the "Create" menu item and inside of it, click on "Agent...".

Create agent

You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency.

Set details of the agent

Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog box.
 
Schedule the agent

What is next is obviously the saving action, which is inside "File" menu item.

Save the agent

Remember that you just have configured the time of the agent, what is missing is the set of actions this agent will perform, so address to the "Run:" section, where you can read a read-only list showing "Client" and a second one with few alternatives. "Simple Actions" will be selected this time.

Go to the simple actions section

As we want to send an email, then we have to push the button "Add action..." which is located below and will display a dialog box where we are going to select the "Send Mail Message" option from the "Action" list.

Select the action to send an email

Once we have selected the action, it's time to complete the required fields and push the "Replace" button.

Set the email parameters

Now, we have the action configured, but it doesn't work as easy as it seems, the key is to also define a number of documents which will work as filters to trigger the action, it's a little tricky, then, you have to use the left panel (Objects) to click on "Document Selection".

Select the documents to use as filters

Once you are in the document panel, below you can see the "Add condition..." button, push it, and in the dialog box which is shown select  "In folder".
 
Add conditions

If you select "In folder" condition you will have the opportunity to select the folder which will be considered by the agent to be processed.

Pick the folders to use as filters

Finally, you have to save the agent and let it work by itself.

Save the agent

But... why did I choose a folder as a condition? Because this was the only manner I could make the agent work how I liked it, therefore I created a folder with only one message inside it (any email) and it's now the condition, thus, when the agent begins its task it goes to the folder, find one message inside and only send one email (defined in the agent).

When I didn't use this trick the agent sent a lot of messages, I mean, the same message configured in the agent but sent more than once.

    1. Thanks to you! Well, to remove the agent go to "View", "Agents" and once you are there select the agent and right click over, you will see the "Delete" option, you can use also the "Edit" option.

  13. Hi,
    I'm finding that it will send the email out but just minutes after I save the agent and not at the specified time. Any suggestions? The fold I'm using is the drafts folder with one email in it, if that makes any difference.

    Thanks

  14. How about adding your email signature you have in lotus notes to the message? I tried copy and paste but it all comes out in the same font all in one color and no company logo. Is the message box just for a real basic email with one color one font, no images to be sent out?

    Thanks

    Have one question. There is no record that mail is sent to user every day or Agent is working. There is no record in sent items also that you have send any mail on that day.

    1. Hi! that's a good question, maybe it is required to the agent to make this step after sending the email, or save the document in sent folder as backup.

    thanks a lot for your feedback. I was able to delete my test agent.
    now I have a second problem. Although I have scheduled the Agent "daily", it seems that the autmated email only works once. the next day, it does not activate the message again. What am I missing?

  20. Hi Ronald, I have another problem.
    although I scheduled the agent to "daily" it does not seem to work. It does the action on the day that I start/enable the agent, but next day, it does not send the email. What can I do? Would you be able to help me again?

  21. Hi Ronald.. This is really nice. However, I am looking for a similar kind of help. Please could you help me?
    Is there any way to have the Emails (reminders) drafted automatically in the Lotus notes "draft folder" if we have the contact names, information and message text listed in an Excel Sheet?
    any way to hit a button and Lotus notes read's the Excel sheet's data and emails are drafted automatically? This would be a great help.. please suggest.

    3. Just one more question, is it posible to set a generic email adress as sender (our team email adress) instead of mine?

      Delete
    4. I think you can do that if you log into your team email account and create the automation there.
