[#5602] CB Auto action, sending PM to group members

9 years 2 weeks ago - 9 years 2 weeks ago #273182 by Joepvdsteen
Tried to find some documentation to do this (but no luck yet)

I have a group
Some member post on the chat wall
Now I would like to have the other members to get a PM, that a new wall post has been made

So in other words what do I need to do to get the PM send out to all the group members (excluding the one who posted it)

and not manually of course (as that option is there inside the group where you can PM all group members)

Going to subscribe to this by posting as interested in the answer. Just some thoughts/feedback...

I wonder could you gain more control by limiting the PM to when they are offline and/or not in (present in/active in/using) the actual group. Just with loads of posts, while you're in your group and then you see your inbox messages increasing - not ideal really.

In GJ configuration there is notification tab "notify by" e.g. PM and under groups -> messages, "type" can be PM. But in my testing I never got a private message, about wall activity for example. And that's with the user manually setting various bits to "notify" him/her within the group settings cog - up by the top of the group page.

Edit: sorry you're looking at something else after re-reading your post. The manual action you refer to was what I was referring to I think.

Actually looking at tmore or less the same thing > There needs to be notification going in from stuff hapening inside a group.

I tried turning on the user preferences as well, but nothing happens, tried adjusting the back end, nothin happens

So either Im doing something realy wrong or it seems not to work

Your users need to configure a notification for wall posts. Navigate to the group then under the gear icon click "Notifications". You can set the defaults for notifications within GJ configuration. There's 2 notifications; 1 for replies to your own posts and 1 for new posts. You won't be notified about your own posts or posts you made. Posts also need to be completely published so if approval is enabled then the notification is delayed until it's approved and published.
