It would be possible to, for example, create a follow up action as an extension to the server, that could send notifications to users. This would be an extra functionality and use the API. I don't have an example right now, but I know that customers have created their own behavior for e-mail notification based on extensions.
These extensions can act on any data available in the work item.

All i have is here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/?s=participant if you follow the suggested reading, you should be able to find the e-mail service and be able to use it.

the template fires for a workitem save. you can code the template to generate different output for different states..  you can't make different templates for different states.

Yeah I know but coding one template is not enough when you want to give specific directions to specific people, depending of the situation od the work item, if code that will be a huge coding content with a lot of conditionals, and the distribution list should also be different depending of the situation of the work items, do you know any example? for this?

well, i hear ya,, here is a tiny script I built.. if one of the users is the special id (this template gets called for each subscriber one at a time), the generated message is different (this supported a lightweight integration with another system, where only the last comment matters, and a special message format was required) if (${recipient}=="special") if(${workItem.get("special_id")} ne "") CCN:${workItem.get("special_id")} Internal ONLY NOCHANGE foreach($comment in ${workItem.comments.mostRecentFirst.takeFirst(1)}) ${comment.description} end end else Web UI: ${workItem.URL} Id:            ${workItem.identifier} Type:          ${workItem.type} Summary:       ${workItem.title} if(${workItem.teamArea}) Team Area:     ${workItem.teamArea} / ${workItem.projectArea} else Project Area:  ${workItem.projectArea} end Filed Against: ${workItem.categoryName} Status:        ${workItem.state} ${change.contributor.name}#if(${change.contributor.emailAddress}) <${change.contributor.emailAddress}>#end changed on ${change.date.fullDate} at ${change.date.fullTime}: ${change.description} You are receiving this mail because you are ${recipientRelation.description} ${recipientRelation.abbreviation} of this work item. end

I see, thank you for share your script, keeping in mind that just the subscribers will get the generic template content.

 Again. The RTC design will call the script once for each subscriber. There is no generic call once, you decide what to do for everyone function and to clarify, ONLY for the subscribers that have NOT disabled notifications in their user profile email config.
