    <summary type="html">&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;Looks like workflows can't be applied to announcements. You can check in the control panel &amp;gt; configuration &amp;gt; workflow configurations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, I think it should already be sending emails to users within the distribution scope. See this property:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;#
# Set the interval in minutes on how often CheckEntryMessageListener will
# run to check for new announcements. Users will be notified via email of
# new announcements.
#
# Env: LIFERAY_ANNOUNCEMENTS_PERIOD_ENTRY_PERIOD_CHECK_PERIOD_INTERVAL
#
announcements.entry.check.interval=15&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</summary>
