Edit "new web app item notification"

Is there any way to edit the new web app item notification that gets sent to the role responsible for a web app?

I've hunted but not found any reference to it. You also get sent it when an item is edited, which I would like to suppress if possible.

 

For clarities sake on which email I am referring to the email subject is: New Web App Item Submission

 

If you can't edit it (which makes no sense) I'd like to suppress it all together.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

    Not yet, it was one of the workflow notifications not added when the rolled those features out. They are aware we need to be able to.

    Yes this needs to be fixed pronto but then this was asked since the day the other workflows became available to edit. My clients all get a broken template that looks terrible and is compounded by it trying to link to a broken logo link. Really poor forethought.

    Well it must be a seprate thing that was harder to do or not possible as part of the other changes but, yeah, why nothing really has come back on even if it will be able to be changed though is a bit disapointing.

    I put in another request this morning through chat about it simply because another client asked why it has not been fixed yet. A lick of pain here and there helps to improve the overall image of the product. I remember the day the notifications could be edited and thought this was so good then promptly tucked into all my client sites to update. Eagerly waiting for this one to happen too.

    At least think that you got the ability to change the others Matt. Years of people asking before for any abillity.

    The order status stuff that is working now I know a lot of people do not use but when you do is mamaoth.

    When they actually do the right implementations we actually want the team do a bang up job. It took them long enough but the development URL redirects was done very well and you can even do /admin on the development url and sit under that development url.


    (why would that matter? Firebug, you want it open on the site but not in the admin - different url, not open in the admin).

    OK, just tested and see that the assinged role does get an workflow email. Still wondering why this is a 'role' rather than a workflow so that multiple individuals could be contacted at the same time or those who are not officially an admin user.

     

    What's the status on web app item workflows please. This is critical and something I assumed would work like other areas when it comes to workflow. I see that you can assign a role but that doesn't even fire off an email. Perhaps there's a way and I'm missing it? If not, any work arounds for now? The only think I can think of is to create a web form instead (which will work with workflows) and then have the approver copy and paste the content into the web app. Not great productivity but I can't think what else to do. This is the kind of stuff that's really hard to explain to clients. I've got a number of web apps I've developed and made the mistake and assumed that they would automaticaly email the assigned role when 'requires approval' was selected. I see we are coming around to a year from when this thread started and my guess it's been requested before.

     

    While we are on the topic of 'needs' for web apps, seems to me thers is a huge need for web app submited files to be automatically 'secure'. I know the web app item itself can but it's my understanding any document a user submits simply is uploaded into a preselected directory but not secure. I've used robot.txt to disallow that directory but that's not a real solution. When will we be able to have these files automically secured. I know web forms do it by putting it into the CRM database but not web apps. This is another critical feature that I've seen numerous threads about.

     

    Thanks for your response and consideration, Todd
