Hi Bruno:
Here's what I do:
I wrote my own UI and use the existing contact list services to create
and manage multiple mailing lists (these are contact lists) including
adding and removing users. In addition I wrote some of my own services
to handle the initiation of a mailing to the contact list. Once you have
the contact list(s) set up, it's pretty easy to associate a mailing with
them. I'm getting ready to create a few services to mail reports to me
(and certain list recipients) automatically. I don't think that would be
much different than your requirement to mail to a contact list based on
some triggering event.
Regards,
Ruth

Hi Bruno,
Like you I think that OOTB a contact list seems appropriate
ESME could be used also, maybe in conjunction with contact list

There is also the mechanism Hand used to show a message in the header.
But I'm not sure it can be used for brodcasting?
You could also use Classifications to group people

Hi,
I am going to implement a notification mechanism and I would like to
konw
what is the best way to do it in OFBiz.
What I need is a way to select for each one of several "events" that can
happen in the system, a set of users that will receive a notification
of the
event.
An event could be an error condition detected in a service or simply a
service execution itself.
I would like to have a screen where the admin could add users to the
groups
so that they will be notified of the events.
How to implement this in OFBiz?
Is it already a feature like this?
I was thinking to use the contact list for this.
There is already a way to send a communication to a contact list so the
event should create a communication to the related contact list and the
admin could include in the contact list all users he want to notify
of that
particular event.
If this is the right solution I would like to have the contact list
moved
from the marketing component to the framework.
Does this make sense ?
Thank you,
Bruno
