Not explicitly, but you could setup a rule to test for forum objects being created and then send an email or run a script.

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for your reply!

From your post, when I was creating a content rule, I tried to find a way for the rule to test for forum object type, but I couldn't find it. Is it there such a type already?

Thanks,

Justin

There is a forum space type "fm:forums" and the forum type "fm:forum". You can configure the the action wizard to contain these types by adding the relevant type to the subtypes element in the "Action Wizards" config section i.e.

<subtypes>
<type name="fm:forum"/>
</subtypes>
