I'm observing that under some of the scenarios, notification emails are not being sent out.
1. When I create a new article, save a draft and publish, the notification is not sent out.
2. When I create a new article and publish it, the notification is sent out.
3. When I switch users and publish an article, the notification is not sent out.
4. There are instances where users are subscribed to the KB; I'm also subscribed to the same KB. The users report that no notification was received, while I receive a notification for the same article.
Any solutions or if anyone else has had similar experiences?
Hi @srinivasp - what do your default notification settings look like for KB related notifications?
Using a regular user account (meaning, no special permissions) - I subscribed to a KB.
Then, using my Admin account, I tested your scenarios. Here are the results:
1. When I create a new article, save a draft and publish, the notification is not sent out.
- If the user has a role that has permissions to start articles/edit drafts, then the user receives an email notification even before publishing. The email notification states that a user "drafted a new article."
- If the user has no special permissions, when publishing the draft from the KB Dashboard, the user receives notification that a user "posted a new article."
2. When I create a new article and publish it, the notification is sent out.
- Same result.
3. When I switch users and publish an article, the notification is not sent out.
- Not sure how to test this. What's the difference in the user accounts?
4. There are instances where users are subscribed to the KB; I'm also subscribed to the same KB. The users report that no notification was received, while I receive a notification for the same article.
- Is it possible it is related to what I stated under #1 - that your account has special permissions for managing articles in that KB and therefore you are receiving notifications for drafts, ready to review, etc?
