Frank,
Being a customization expert in Windchill PLM, probably I can help you on this. I have done this before aswell.
Overall flow of the custom utility can be as given below.: (minute details need to be decided through a discussion)
- Create an email template in Html format and keep it in windchill, lets say codbase\ext\..
- Need to write a custom method and use the appropriate API to extract the information required(In your case name/number of the object being promoted).
- Throgh the customisation pick the above stored html email template and add the information (part numbers in your case ) to the template.
- Send the email using this email template filled with the information
- from the workflow at appropriate location call this method and your email will have all these informations.
Let me know if you need any help in achieving this.
Regards,
