I have a workspace that runs using FME Desktop and the windows task scheduler. I would like it to send out an email notification upon successful completion that includes a total record count, a list of ID of all the records, and a timestamp.
In my specific instances, I'm using a FeatureWriter to write lines of text to a number of text files that are named using fanout and a unique ID field. What I've come up with works but it feels clumsy. The screenshot below leaves out the actual FMW processing and starts with the Writer (bottom left) and another branch feeding in records.
Maybe you agree - there has got to be a better (more out of the box) way to do this, right? If so, I'm all ears.
Footnote: Most of my stuff runs in FME Server which utilizes notifications there (although not with the above type of summary), so I have never had to dig into bolting on things after your writer finishes up,
