Approve ECN Creation - Workflow Event Handler

Use this event handler to automatically notify certain CloudSuite Business users when an engineering change notice is created on the Engineering Change Notices form. The message also prompts for a Yes/No response to approve the change. Based on the response, the event handler sends an approval or rejection notification to the originator. Both notifications are messages sent to the CloudSuite Business Inbox form.

This is the text of the notification that is sent:

To: receipient
From: originator
Subject: Engineering Change Notice approval request
Body: Approval has been requested for Engineering Change Notice ecnnum,
created by originator, with the priority of ecnpriority. 
Question: Do you approve the Engineering Change Notice? 
Choices: Yes and No.
	

If the response is Yes, this message is sent to the originator's CloudSuite Business Inbox:

To: originator
From: receipient
Subject: Engineering Change Notice approved
Body: Engineering Change Notice ecnnum has been approved. 
	

If the response is No, this message is sent to the originator's CloudSuite Business Inbox:

To: originator
From: receipient
Subject: Engineering Change Notice rejected
Body: Engineering Change Notice ecnnum has been rejected.
