We will provide an overview of all available News notifications.
Notifications are attached to News permissions, so users will only receive notifications if they can interact with articles and the channels they are in.
Templates for each language can be viewed and edited from Admin > System > Localisation > Edit templates > News
Notification not sending?
Remember: The type of notification received by users, e.g. email, in-system, none, etc will depend on their preferences as outlined here.
If a notification is not evident, check that the recipient's preferences are set to receive this as they would expect first.
- Basic notifications
news.news_control.news
This notification will be sent when a News article:
- is published, and the 'Send notification to all users with view rights' option was selected
- is published, and users are subscribed to the channel
- is edited, and the 'Send notification to all users with view rights' option remains selected
- is edited, and users are subscribed to the channel
In either case, the recipients will be users with 'view' rights to the channel the article is in, or they are subscribed to the channel.
Using Twig logic, the template can show the correct phrasing based on the action and situation being met.
So, avoid making large changes to this template unless your team can make edits in line with Twig logic.
news.new_comment_added
This notification will fire when a comment is added to a News article, and the recipient will be the creator of the article.
- News approval process specific notifications
news.news_control.added_news
This will fire when a user with only the ability to submit drafts for approval does so, and the recipients will be all users with the 'Approve others' permission.
news.news_control.your_news
This will fire when an article submitted for approval has been either approved or rejected; the recipients will be the user who submitted the article for approval.
news.news_control.edited_news
This will fire when an article submitted for approval is edited (by any user with permission to), and the recipients will be users with permission to 'Approve' others.
news.news_control.deleted_news
This notification will fire when a user with 'approve others' permission deletes an article submitted for approval.
The recipient will be the owner of the article who sent it for approval.
- Defunct
news.your_comment_status
This is a legacy template that no longer fires as its functionality has been removed from the product.
In future versions, this will be removed from the list.
