Hi guys - I'm fairly new to Umbraco and new to this community.
I'm trying to create a workflow in Umbraco v
4.7.1.1 where contributors/writers get a notification when an editor publishes their page:
Writer clicks Save and Send for Approval - Editor gets notified by email - (this bit works fine) Editor clicks Save and Publish - Writer get notified by emial that their content is now live (this bit doesn't work)
I've set the writer notifications to Publish (in their user account), but no luck - I can get them notified on everything else, but not Publish.
I've read up about notifications, searched the excellent community here, but not found any solution or even a mention that this is a bug. Have I missed something?
Hmm, that's odd when all other events seem to work according to what you're writing above. It may be a bug and the reason why it's not been noticed untill now is perhaps because people don't use this excellent feature that much...which is actually a shame.
But perhaps you could try having a look at the umbraco Log table in the database to see if there is some usefull information about it in there?
Thanks for your replies. The workflow notification system was one of the many excellent features that excited me about Umbraco, but sadly it seems to have a bug.
I have tried setting the user notifications to 'Update' but the problem is whenever a user saves changes to their page they get an email notification every time!
Looks like the audit trail picked somehting up:
Error in notification: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.workflow.Notification.sendNotification(User performingUser, User mailingUser, Document documentObject, IAction Action) at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.workflow.Notification.GetNotifications(CMSNode Node, User user, IAction Action)
Notifications on Publish

Hi Nic,
What if you have Update Checked as well? I used the notifications and i can tell you for multilingual website it is such a great tool.
