I want to send an email to the creator of a page to inform them that it has been published.

Is there a way to add the page creators email address to the To section of the email step automatically?

Did that macro end up working for you Shaun? I wanted to achieve the same result and tried that macro. Didn't work on my end though. No email ended up being sent (though it does if I hard code an email there instead).

Thanks Dmitry that worked , thank you.

Regis, I am just using a single path approval workflow and it sent the email to the original page creator as expected.
