I'd like to know this also. I suspect you have to create specific rules for each email address. You can check the site though in a new webscript (or maybe by copying the email webscript):

var site;
var dPath = document.displayPath;
var dPathA = dPath.split("/");
if (len(dPathA) > 2) {
   var s = dPathA[3]; // ie company home / sites / sitename
   site = siteService.getSite(s);
  // now run the email…maybe get the site administrators and then run an email command?
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi.

Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem. I wasn't clear enough, sorry.

So my problem is that I want to send a notification based on the modifier's group.
Each of my customer has a group and multiple users in this group. When one of those users adds something into the customer site, I need to receive a notification. When I (or another administrator) adds something to the customer site, I need to send a notification to that customer.
It's not a problem to add one rule for the customer email and one rule for my email.

I tried to use the condition "text value of an aspect" and use "cm:modifier" as aspect, but it didn't work. I can't find a place to look for this kind of doc.

Any help is welcome

Hmm … I would suggest setting up one site for each customer and a central "syndication" site, which can distribute content per rule, workflow or other.

Each customer has access to "his" site. Then you have one email per customer. That can then fire the "Send mail to recipient" Content rule. Does that help already ?

You can even define one rule per emailaddresss or extend the system with a java/javascript class, delivering the emal address based on certain runtime parameters.
