In the Contour UI where you can view entries there is the option to email indiviual records to a specified address. All this does is spits out the raw XML into an email which for a client/end user is of little use. Can this feature be tailored to format the output using XSLT for the puropses of emailing the record?
Hi Tim, yes I am using the email workflow but this is not a workflow item it is an OOTB feature of Contour that allows you to email indivdual selected records from the "Entries" list in Umbraco.
+1 It's almost a pointless feature at the moment by just spitting out the xml in an email. Is there some way we can override this? Other than that, we have found Umbraco Contour to be a great package :)

Hey Simon,
Well there is a more advanced email workflow type that lets you have full control over the contents of the email (send xslt transformed email).
Also there is a community addon that makes it possible to do the same with razor

+1 on this as well... sending teh xml from the entries dashboard isn't really helpful to me either ;)

@Tom well you can transform the xml in the output you want :) if you aren't familiar with xslt you can also use this extension http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/send-razor-transformed-email-contour-workflow and use razor to transform the email
is working on a reply...
