Notification Sending after completing Workflow

[deba]

Hi , I am using Alfresco in my Project. In my project we have 8 languages and for 8 languages we configured  8 languages user groups. Like English , Spanish , Italian , French etc. We considered English language as a base language. So my requirement is like if I start a workflow for English content  then on completion of workflow I just want to send the notification to all other 7 languages user groups. But I am unable to proceed for send notification. I tried to send to notification as how Email notification has been sending. But for that we need smtp server configuration. So that we didnt go to this approach. Could you please help how to send a simple notification to other user groups. What all java or configuration is needed ? any suggestions will be valuable for me. Thanks in advance .

Regards,

In out of the box ,there is not such facility like out of the box.You need to customize as per requirement.
You can have a common dashlet for all the group's users where you can show notifications to all.

I approached that way also. I added a custom dashlet in alfresco dashboard. But the problem I am facing is like I cannot restrict to the particular user groups. If I added the dashlet in alfresco shared so everybody can see it. I will explain clearly. When I start a workflow for a content then I am setting some user groups in "candidateUsergroups" for approving the content for next level. like  

activiti:candidateGroups="WCM_PUBLISHER1,WCM_PUBLISHER2,WCM_PUBLISHER3".

So my intention is to send the notification to those user groups that Workflow has completed once the workflow will be completed. So in this case I dont think that the common dashlet will work. If there is any chance to restrict it on basis of User groups then it will be fine.

Please suggest me if you have any idea. Any suggestions will be helpful for me.

Thanks in advance.

You can restrict your response of the custom dashlet based on currently logged in user's group.You don't need to show all the notifications in your dashlet.
