    Best way for email notification to members when there is a new post

    Hi ,

    I have a client, who want a email sent to the employees (members), every time there is a new post. What is the best way of doing that?

    I would prefer it to be razor or a package. :-)

    Thank you!

    /Daniel

    Hi Daniel,

    Personally i would setup a publishing rule using the Tasks (events) system in umbraco.

    Whenever a document is published with ContetentType.Alias = 'yourposttype' trigger the send mail.

    In v7 look at the ContentService.Published http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Events-v6/ContentService-Events

    If there are a lot of members i would definitely look at a 3rd party integration where you firea short message that tells something else like your email system to send email otherwise you are going to have a very long running event.

    All down to what you have and how many members etc..

    Is this what you were looking for?

    If you are looking for a package that could do this - if you are using v6 look at Darren fergusons workflow for umbraco. You can create tasks like the one above as a workflow.

    I don't think it is available for v7 though - not looked for a long time.

    Hi Damian

    I am using u7 :-)

    Let me just say, I am not a programmer and it looks like c# (I may be wrong) and my skills stop at C#...

    Is there any way of doing that in razor?

    There is around ~100 members.

    Thank you :-)

    Hi, I have implemented the same sort of functionality and unfortunately i used c# and .net

    When you say post what are you using Discus?

    Depending on what you are using, you would probably override the event that creates a new post and then have some code that sends an email to currently registered members.

    Charlie :)
