Email Notification

[Avi]

Hi,

In review assistant even though there are multiple members part of a review mail notifications are only sent the author and commenter even though all users are subscribed to all events. Is there a way to include all participant in the notification email or alternatively add a CC recipient to the mail?

Regards,

By the moment, notifications are sent only if a review participant is supposed to take some action after receiving the notification.

Could you please explain your case in detail so that we could come up with a reasonable solution?

Our current scenario is that in our team, not all members have visual studio opened all the time and want to be kept in the loop as to what is going on in the review. Example we might have a team lead or similar that may not necessary provide comments to the review but would like to receive updates whenever comments are made.

Another scenario would be that we have multiple participant but a conversation may be going on between 2 people and another person would like to be keep up to date.

Maybe have an additional notification level from the settings menu where this could be achieved.

We use other review tools like ReviewBoard that emails all participants in the reviews and would like something similar.

I want to promote this idea. Code-reviews are a good medium to discuss code, and the more people can see the arguments, the more people can benefit from the review.

it is for this reason that you should be able to send the notification emails to everyone in the review.
