Simple stuff but I got a few people asked me this same question, so here is how to create an automation script to send email from Maximo:
1 – Create a Communication Template:
- Template ID: MY_COMM_TEMPLATE

- Subject and message: as shown below
- In the “Recipients” tab, add an Email recipient pointing to your own email:
2 – Create an Automation Script
Create an autoscript with Object Launch Point on the “ASSET” object, on the SAVE (Update) event, choose Language = Python and copy/paste the following sample script:

| commTpltSet.setWhere("templateid='MY_COMM_TEMPLATE'") | |
| commTpltSet.reset() | |
| commTpltSet.getMbo(0).sendMessage(mbo, mbo) |
