Does Activit 5.7 support User Task Notifications

Does Activiti 5.7 support sending out user notifications when a user is assigned a task.  If so, is there a way to create a separate email template for each user task?  I know that there is an email task element that can be used, but you can only send an email either before the User Task is assigned or after it is completed.  If so, is this extended into the Alfresco Share (4.0.e) application?  I am trying to see if I need to implement something custom on the user task as a listener.

Any insight into how to accomplish this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shanon,

If you're using Alfresco, task-completion emails are built in (by checking the "notify by mail". This is the same email, for all types of tasks and can be configured as a .ftl-template in the repository. If you want to have custom emails for each type of task (or on assignment), you'll have to plug in another task-listener (as the TaskCompleteListener is, e.g..) for all user-tasks, using the BPMNParselistener that already exists in alfresco, or an new one… The task-listener can also be added explicit ally in the BPMN20.xml-file, not requiring a parse-listener solution…
