Bump

Are you sure you are not running in a notification context that does not suppress notifications?

https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/extending/extensibilitypoints/notifications.html?q=notification%20context#suppressing-notifications

In your custom code, add var something = Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Notifications NotificationContext.NotificationState; and see what the current value is.

Hey Nicolai.

When looking at the current context in the notification context, its null

var something = Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Notifications.NotificationContext.Current;

Is default behavior to supress notifications?

Can you share the entire code of your add in?

private async Task<Product> CreateProductAsync(DynamicsModelDto model, Language language)
{
    var workflow = _workflowService.GetById(Convert.ToInt32(WorkflowId));
    var workflowState = workflow is not null ? _workflowStateService.GetStates(workflow).FirstOrDefault() : null;

    var product = new Product()
    {
        Id = RegexExtensions.RemoveNonAlphanumeric(model.No!, "_"),
        Number = model.No,
        Name = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(await GetItemTranslation(model.No!, language) ?? model.Description),
        Active = true,
        LanguageId = language.LanguageId,
        NeverOutOfStock = true
    };

    if (workflowState is not null)
    {
        _productService.Save(product);
        product.WorkflowStateId = workflowState.Id;

        using(var context = new NotificationContext(NotificationContext.NotificationState.Notify))
        {
            NotificationManager.Notify(Ecommerce.Product.ProductWorkflowStateChanged, new Ecommerce.Product.ProductWorkflowStateChangedArgs(product, 0));
        }
    }

}

There is some more code related to other fields, but this part of the add in related to creation of the product and emitting the workflow notification.

I've tried adding a context around the notificationmanager. But doesnt change a thing, when running the code locally i still dont get an email saved to the disk

Hi Theodor,

Have you tried using a non-async function?

Hi Anders,

Thanks for the reply.

I have just tried your suggestion unfortunately, it doesn't change the outcome :/

After testing, I've tried triggering the workflow notification with a pibeline it works and sends an email

 

using Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Notifications;
using Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products;
using Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Notifications;
using Dynamicweb.Host.Core;

namespace Website.Pibelines;

public class WorkflowNotificationTrigger : IPipeline
{
    public int Rank => 150;

    public void RegisterApplicationComponents(IApplicationBuilder app)
    {

    }

    public void RegisterServices(IServiceCollection services, IMvcCoreBuilder mvcBuilder)
    {
    }

    public void RunInitializers()
    {
        Product theProduct = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Products.GetProductById("MT1135_75D_COMFORT_5", "", "LANG1");

        if (theProduct == null)
            return;
        

        NotificationManager.Notify(Ecommerce.Product.ProductWorkflowStateChanged, new Ecommerce.Product.ProductWorkflowStateChangedArgs(theProduct, 0));

    }
}

After doing some debugging, I found, that i get this error in the eventviewer.
But only in the emmit im doing from the scheduled addin.
Is there a difference in how the 

2025-10-10 10:49:15.8393: The notification subscriber threw an unexpected error. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.ProductWorkflowStateChangedSubscriber.GetHost()

   at Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.ProductWorkflowStateChangedSubscriber.SendEmailNotification(WorkflowNotificationService notificationService, WorkflowNotification notification, Product Product, WorkflowState previousState, WorkflowState currentState)
   at Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.ProductWorkflowStateChangedSubscriber.OnNotify(String notification, NotificationArgs arguments)
   at Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Notifications.NotificationManager.Notify(String notification, NotificationArgs eventArgs)

Hi

I have created https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/fundamentals/dw10release/releasenotes/workiteminfo.html?workitemid=25918 to make the ProductWorkflowStateChangedSubscriber able to run outside the context of request (a link in the email would be missing though).

Remember to remove that ipipeline thingie... :-)

Hi Nicolai.

Thanks! Looking forward to the fix :)

The IPibline is only in my local version :) But thanks
