I came across this today. My Workspace runs fine in FME Server, using the Notification mechanism at the time of publishing.

However, when using this Workspace as a Scheduled Task in FME Server, the Notification is ignored. It does not appear when monitoring the topic. The scheduler has the possibility to specify a Notification, but you cannot specify the Content (Writer). So, when you want to send an e-mail, assembled by the Workspace, it is not possible with a Schedule.

Current Workaround: put a text writer in the Workspace and prepare the e-mail completely. Make a second Workspace and use a WorkspaceRunner to run the main process. When it is completed, use a FeatureReader to read the text file with the e-mail information and connect it to an FMEServerNotifier
