Hello,

I think it would be a great addition to have the option to send out e-mails if a book was added/changed.
Might as well allow for customisation of those mails (Signature, general structure,...).

Currently I'm sending e-mails manually from my personal Mail-Account to notify the administrators that I've added a Book or changed something important.
Therefore this would be a nice addition to bookstack.

Hi @DanielKng,

Did you just close then re-open your own issue (#42) to bump it up? Not sure how I feel about that, bit cheeky 😏 .

Something that does not help this to be completed is that this issue encompasses two requests:

Email notification on Book events.
Customization of emails.

I think the second point may already be possible albeit through the undocumented & unstable theming system.
I can explain how you'd achieve this if you'd like.

Hi @ssddanbrown,
Nope, I did not.
Also, you refer to "Add feature to delete images" wich really is not what I want at all ;)

But, I did create this issue on the BookStack/website-Repo first.
I found that this will fit here much better, that's why I closed that issue over in the "website"-repo and re-opened it here. :)

Sure, guide me trough it! :)

@DanielKng Ah, My bad, Yeah, I see what's happened.
I'll respond back with how you could customize the email HTML when I next have a few minutes spare.

Just came across this again, Realised I had not responded.

The visual theme system is now documented here. It would be a case of overriding this view to customize emails sent from BookStack.

Email notifications is already open under other issues (Primary being #241) so I'll therefore close this off.
If familiar with the framework, the logical theme system could potentially be used to jerry-rig a notification system.
