Email on document property change

[drozes]

Hi guys;
My company wants a proto-type of an email system that will send emails whenever a document specific property change.
For instance- the property custom:status changes on the Document of content type custom:document.
This would trigger a notification email to a user.

Any and All help is greatly appreciated.

The way I would do this is to add a policy for  the type or aspect that defines custom:status

Thank you very much for the reply!
I'll look into Policy right away!

Used the 'Manage Rules' on the folder and got my emails sending with no issues!!!

Thanks!

Hi Drozes

Did you used the policy of Alfresco, or simply tested on the type or aspect?
I posted the topic which is mentioned below and just want to notify a user in Alfresco when a document is changed to a custom content type. However this change on a document does not trigger the action.
I hope maybe your solution will fix my problem.

Hi mkie;

I used the 'manage rules' options on a folder.  Through that options I set the following:

When:
     Items are updated

If all criteria is met:
    Content of type of subtype: My custom type
    custom attribute 'contains': custom string

Perform Action:
    Send Email



If the default options do not work for you, I'd recommend looking at the 'More' option in the 'If all criteria are met:' section. (end of dropdown)

Good Luck.
