Hi

I have my custom content type.
I can change default content to make it custom type by clicking on"content type and selecting my custom content type.
Now I want to send an email to the group of people in alfresco to notify them about custom content type creation.
Does anyone know about how to achieve this?

Thank you

Hi Krups,

You have two options:

* Rule + Action
** You would need to configure Share and/or Explorer to show the custom content types in the Rules form
** You would need to create a custom action (or use the existing send email) to send the email. You could also write a small script to send the email (so the action would be "execute script")
* Use a Java behaviour (it's a listener for the whole repository) that sends the email, using the EmailActionExecutor
