Creating custom AEM workflow steps that send email messages

You can develop a custom Adobe Experience Manager workflow step that sends email messages to users within a workflow. A custom workflow step is implemented as an OSGi bundle that you can build using Maven and the AEM Workflow APIs that belong to the com.adobe.granite.workflow.exec package. For information, see Package com.adobe.granite.workflow.exec.

Once you create and deploy the custom step, you can use it to send email messages to users within an AEM workflow. To send email messages, a com.day.cq.mailer.MessageGateway instance is used. For information, see Interface MessageGateway.
