Email Notifications on Calendar Events in Alfresco

Question

I\'m using Alfresco 4.0 I need to send email notification to selected members or all the members if a calendar event is created.

I\'m a newbie.

Kindly help m

Answer 1

You can set a simple rule on "Sites/yoursite/calendar" folder that executes a javascript script which sends the email.

If you need something more complicated then you can use alfresco's "onCreateNode" policy and bind it to "ia:calendarEvent" type.

From the top of my head something like this:

...

this.onCreateNode = new JavaBehaviour(this, "onCreateNode", NotificationFrequency.TRANSACTION_COMMIT);

this.policyComponent.bindClassBehaviour(QName.createQName(
    NamespaceService.ALFRESCO_URI, "onCreateNode"),
    "ia:calendarEvent", this.onCreateNode);

...
...
...

public void onCreateNode(ChildAssociationRef childAssocRef)
{
 //send email here
}
