collective.contentrules.mail 0.4

Flexible mail content rule

Introduction

This package provides an extended content rule “mail” action with many more variable substitutions available, including the name and email address of the content owner, making it possible to email the owner of a piece of content.

It is also possible to provide new “replacers” by writing an interface with an associated adapter and registering a new IMailModel utility. The user is able to pick the replacer to use on the action edit form.
