Type of notification contents / How to set them

Overview

User Trigger Notification Settings

User Trigger Notification is a feature that allows GROWI users to be selectively notified when they edit a page or post a comment. Basically, it is necessary to enter the channel to be notified each time, but it is possible to eliminate the input by setting a default pattern.

How to set a default pattern

  1. Access to the Security Settings page (/admin/notification) in the Management page.
  2. Open the User Trigger Notification tab.
  3. Enter the pattern and channel name.
  • The path to display the configuration value is called pattern. For example, if you set /event/*, only pages under event will show the default pattern you set.
  • If you want to display the default pattern on all pages, please type /*.

Check if the default pattern settings are reflected

For example, if you set the pattern to /event/* and the channel to general, then If you create a page with the path /event/announcement, it will go to edit mode with general set in the Slack notification form.

If the checkbox is enabled and the page is refreshed, the general channel will receive a Slack notification.

Global Notification Setting

You can configure Slack notifications to be sent out when a GROWI user performs a certain action.

How to set Global Notification

  1. Access to the Security Settings page (/admin/notification) in the Management page.
  2. Open the Global Notification tab.
  3. Click the Add Notification button on the right side of the list of notification settings.
  4. Configure various settings in Notification Advanced Settings.
  • The notification mechanism detects events that occur in the trigger path. For example, if you set /event/*, Global Notification will be enabled on the pages under /event.

Enable/disable notifications

Global Notifications will usually only send notifications for events in public pages.

Enabling the checkbox will detect events in the following pages.

  • Pages that are restricted to 'Only me'.
  • Pages that are restricted to 'Only inside the group'.

Pages that can only be viewed by people who know the link will always be unnotified, regardless of the setting.
