Can a Workflow be applied to the Announcements
New Member Posts: 13 Join Date: 1/31/18 Recent Posts
Hi all,

I am using Liferay 7 CE and i'm trying out the announcements app.

I'm trying to find out if a workflow can be applied so that when a new announcement is created all users in the scope of the announcement are sent an email notification.

Do I need even need a Workflow for this?


Thanks in advance
Richard

Looks like workflows can't be applied to announcements. You can check in the control panel > configuration > workflow configurations.

However, I think it should already be sending emails to users within the distribution scope. See this property:

#
# 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
