Auto action usecase question related to activity

Hello...

Is there a case that Admins get by mail a notification about new activity posts?

For example...

we want admins to receive an e-mail like the following for every new post created.

User [username] created a new post on activity stream!

Post content:
[substitute the post content here...]

Can you please guide us create the auto action if this can be done?

Thank you in advance

Make a copy of the "CB Activity - Post Notification" system action. Change its "Type" to "Email" then remove all except the first condition. Set the "To" parameter to [cb_moderators]. That should email moderators when a user posts profile activity. You can substitute the activity information in using var3. So for example if you want what the user is posting you'd use [var3_message].

Hello Krileon

Thank you for your reply.

I followed your instructions and everything worked fine. Admin received an e-mail with the [var3_message] included.

We also created another auto action that triggers on "activity_onAfterUpdateStreamActivity"

Now our question is...

is it possible that the [var3_message] brings the content as it shows on timeline (mostly paragraphs), so that the e-mail is easier to read? Now the [var3_message] strips the formation.

Thank you...

That would require the stream parser to be applied to the message. You won't be able to do this without using a Code auto action and coding the entire email process yourself. You can try the below using format functions to try and call the stream function for this, but it may not work as this functionality wasn't really intended for this usage.

[cb:parse function="parser" class="var1" method="parse" string="[var3_message]" /]

Be sure "Format Functions" is set to "Yes" under Parameters before trying the above.
