Hello All,
I'm attempting to create a workflow notification on a discussion board, and it has several conditions I want to try and meet. So here we go . . .
- I would like the supervisor of the poster to receive a notification when their direct report posts something to a discussion board (I know this notification is possible because 'Manager' is an option in the Lookup list)
- I do not want the supervisor to receive additional notifications when their direct report posts a reply to an existing reply; in other words, when someone responds to the original db question, I'd like the supervisor to receive a notification of that; however, if their direct report replies to someone else's answer to the original question, I do not want them to receive a notifcation
Looking at other posts and responses online, I know there is a difference between Content Types - Discussion and Message. But it looks like to me that all replies, whether they're to the original question (Discussion) or others' replies (Messages), are classified as Messages. Do I understand that correctly? Any way to create conditions around that?
For context's sake, we have a introductory discussion board, and I want new hires' supervisors to be notified when their new team member posts their introduction. I do not want them to be overloaded with notifications if their new hire starts replying to others' posts.
Thank you!
