A simple way to do this is to define a rule in the root folder of the space.

Go to: Repository > Sites

Select "Manage Rules" in the actions menu of the site you want.

Select "Create Rules".

Pick a name for your rule, and in the "Perform Action" select "Send email". Define your message and the receivers.

Check the checkbox "Rule applies to subfolders".

Notice that you must configure your SMTP server configuration first in alfresco-global.properties so Alfresco can send emails.

Cheers,
Jordi

Thank you for the quick response. However when i click on create rule. I get 4 step options:

1st Step(Conditions): Select Condition:
Click to set values and add to list.

2. (Actions)
3.(Detials)
4.(Summary).

I didnt find any section to add name for the rule.

I'm using Alfresco Community Edition.

Oh you must be using Alfresco Explorer interface (http://<server>:8080/alfresco), I supposed you were using Share (http://<server>:8080/share).

In step 3 (Details), you will be asked to enter a Title for your rule.
Just follow the wizard.

Cheers,
Jordi
