OA: Send email on resource request

afterSaveSendEmail.oa.js

/**
 * The first time a value is selected it should generate an email 
 * to the original submitter to let them know the status of the 
 * request has been changed and indicate the new status. IF the 
 * value of that field changes again, then another email needs to 
 * be sent indicating the change from one status to another. Also, 
 * if the email can grab any notes that are in the notes field 
 * that would be great.
 * 
 * @param  {String} type Form event type.
 * @return {None}
