4.10 Email Notifier

4.10.1 General

Daisy can send out emails when changes are made to documents. To make use of this the SMTP host must be correctly configured, which is usually done as part of the installation, but can be changed afterwards (see below). In the Daisy Wiki, individual users can subscribe to get notifications by selecting the "User Settings" link, making sure their email address is filled in, and checking the checkbox next to "Receive email notifications of document-related changes.".

Users will only receive events of documents to which they have full read access rights (without any restrictions specified in the access details). It is possible to receive notifications for individual documents, for all documents belonging to a certain collection, or for all documents. The mails will notify document creation, document updates or version state changes.

While we usually talk about documents, the actual notifications happen on the document variant level.

As you can see on the User Settings page, it is also possible to subscribe to other events: user, schema, collection and ACL related changes. However, for these events proper formatting of the mails is not yet implemented, they simply contain an XML dump of the event.
