That configuration can be included in the alfresco-global.properties file

Just in case someone is here because they are having a hard time setting up activities feed notifier, I just managed to do it successfully after a lot of trial and error.

This is what worked for me...>

I use Community Edition 5.2

Email invitations were already working OK so I knew that the SMTP configuration was good but I needed users to get emails whenever someone added a document to an Alfresco folder.

I edited file C:alfresco-community/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

I found the properties in this file seem to override everything else.

I added=>

### Activities feed E-mail notifier ###

activities.feed.max.size=100

activities feed.max.ageMins=44640

activities.feed.notifier.startDelayMins=${system.cronJob.startDelayMinutes}

activities.feed.notifier.cronExpression=0 * * ? * * *

activities.feed.notifier.enabled=true

# 0 0 0 * * ? every day at midnight #

# 0 0 1 * * ? every day at 1am #

# 0 0 * ? * * * every hour #

# 0 * * ? * * * every minute #

# 0 0 9 ? * MON * every Monday at 09:00 #

I have it set to notify users within a minute (cronExpression=0 * * ? * * *) of a new document being uploaded. That's great for my environment because only a few documents get uploaded per week. If it were many documents per hour the emails would get pesky so you could step it down. I put a few options in the comments (lines beginning with #). Also restart Alfresco (I end alfrescoPostgresSQL subsystem, it ends alfrescoTomcat automatically) Then start alfrescoPostgreSQL and alfrescoTomcat (both manually). Each user has a setting in their profile to determine if they get email notifications so this must be ticked.

I initially tried to do this via the Admin Console...but in community edition it only has a few options so pretty useless.

I then tried just adding activities.feed.notifier.enabled=true but that alone does not work. I tried erroneous cron scheduler expressions until I found Free Online Cron Expression Generator and Describer - FreeFormatter.com which makes it easy to generate what you need. Finally I found you need all the properties above added before it works.
