I was asked how to include the case’s work details in a workflow email sent to customer when case is resolved. The Case attribute “Resolution” (ask_resolutiontext) is created at the close case stage and saved to the activity type “Case Resolution”.
It is easy to create workflow that sends an email when case is resolved and to include the work details from the case attribute “Resolution” in the email to the customer.
What happens if all jobs are completed but the case is still active with the status “Ready for Billing”. At this status no other job can be created, but the case is not yet in “Problem Solved” status and therefore the work details are not available to be inserted to the email.
Each time an activity is created (such as phone, email, remote, onsite) the activity’s details are stored in the description field of the Phone, Task or Email activities that are linked to the case.
By creating new attribute in the case entity and using workflows associated with the phone, task & email activities we can merge the work details of all activities and store them in the case at the time each activity is completed.

Note: Before you modify customization, export the existing customization and backup CRM.

Firstly, create new attribute “Task Details” type “ntext” with maximum length of 2,000 characters.
Add the new field to the Form in the Administration tab.
Click and open the form properties. Select and open to edit the OnLoad event.
Add the following JavaScript after the last line of the existing script:
