Mail notification through @userID


Eike Meyer (612211) | asked Jan 28 '10, 11:35 a.m.
By mentioning the user in a discussion with @userID, the user receives an automated email that he has been mentioned in a work item. The problem we are currently facing is, that we are using IDs which are alphanumeric and are bound to this due to naming conventions. Is there a possibility to trigger this email notification with the user name or email?

We have this same issue - does anyone know a solution? It appears that on the eclipse client a content assist is available and you can find a person by their name, but I haven't figured out how to get this to work on the web interface, or if that's even possible. Anyone know if this is possible now, or planned for the future?

Hi,

upgrade to RTC 3.0.1 and you will get a new icon in the rich text editors in the web, allowing to e.g. add user links. This pops up a search window where you can search by name. It will add the correct @id for the user into the text.

To see screenshot go to the 3.0.1 M13 what's new and look for rich text improvements.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.
