enable notification in CB activity

I have looked and hunted for information on a simple thing. I want to send email notifications to all users when a moderator post in activity. Either through email or PM or both. 
I can not find information on this. 


 

All notifications within CB Activity are configured in CB Activity > Parameters > Notifications > Notify.

However the notification you're asking for doesn't exist. You'd need to create that notification yourself using CB Auto Actions. The below should help get you started.

Global
Triggers: activity_onAfterCreateStreamActivity
Type: Email
User: Self
Access: All Moderators
Conditions
Field: Custom > Value
Custom Value: [var3_asset]
Operator: Starts With
Value: profile.
Action
To: query
To Query: Subject: YOUR_EMAIL_SUBJECT_HERE
Body: YOUR_EMAIL_MESSAGE_HERE

The condition ensures it only applies to profile activity posts made by moderators. If you need it to apply to other activity streams adjust the condition. If you need it to apply to all activity streams simply remove the condition. The query is just a database query to determine recipients of the email. You can freely adjust it with whatever database query conditions you'd like. My example above emails everyone.

This however could be useful and have added a feature ticket to review adding support for toggling on such a notification being built into CB Activity as could be good for things like moderator announcements.

Also made a ticket for system post notifications.

Turned out to be a relatively quick implementation. This is now available in latest CB Activity build release. Once updated you'll find "Create (System)" and "Create (Moderator)" notifications within CB Activity > Parameters > Notifications > Notify > Activity to send notifications when moderators create posts or when a system post is created.

So you won't need the above anymore unless you want it to be an email instead of an on site notification.

So the setting in the attached?

That will also do it, but no. That setting enables notifications for all activity posts not just those made by moderators. You also have it set so that it sends the notifications to moderators. Turn that setting off and you should see the other 2 mentioned above.

OK. Thank you! Dah...

I hope I have it correct now?
