Send email notification when a specified user publishes any page

You'd still use workflow although you'd need to modify the settings of the workflow to automatically publish the page and send emails. Check out the default workflow and click the EMAIL tab. Ensure the Send notification emails radio button is selected on YES. Then uncheck all the specific emails EXCEPT send published. . Then make sure you select a template to send otherwise nothing will be sent. Then add users you want to notify.

Hi, Brendan. Thanks for the quick response. I was looking for a way to send the notification if the page was published by a specific user or role. When we have new people come on board we would like to be able to verify what they have done. But we don't want their work to have to be approved in the workflow. The content manager is not always available. And once a page is submitted for approval the user is prevented from making additional updates until the change is approved.

We really don't want to send an email for every page that gets published as our content manager would have to wade through hundreds of emails per day looking for the few changes made by the specific users ( yes we do have that may updates each day ). We may have to go that route but we'd like to avoid it if at all possible.

Thank you Brenden. That's exactly what I was looking for.
