We've been doing a bunch of bulk fixing of issues in our codebase (deprecated code usage, mostly) and every time the analysis kicks off next, everyone gets 10-100-1000 individual emails detailing the status changes that occurred.
Is there any way to consolidate all this information into a single email so users don't end up being unable to tell what's going on due to sheer bulk of repetitive information?
I really don't want to have to turn off the notification emails and implement my own email mechanism if I've just missed a setting or plugin somewhere.
You can change the user notification subscriptions. Here are the different notifications a SonarQube can set in 6.7:
Background tasks in failure on my administered projects
Changes in issues assigned to me
New quality gate status
Issues resolved as false positive or won't fix
New issues
My new issues
Either keep only “My new issues” or unassign issues that will not be fixed by the author.

I don't want to subscribe a slack channel to all issues on arbitrary third party repositories, just to the particular issues on which my team/organization is involved (contributing to / impacted by), so the usual github integration command /github subscribe thirdparty/arbitraryrepo issues does not suffice as it would cause a ton of unwanted noise in the channel. (and the existing label filtering would not cut it)
(Update: there is an open feature request for that https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/1280)
I neither want to forward my personal github subscriptions to the slack channel as there are lots of projects I am individually involved that have nothing to do with my team's work. (e.g. my direct mentions)
Also, subscription should stay despite I leaved the team/company.
A per-issue public RSS/Atom feed would cut it but it does not exist.
Am I missing something obvious?
The only workaround I can think of is adding a channel email integration, registering that address to an organization-shared github account and subscribe it to the individual issues we run into.
But this is quite cumbersome (must keep an alternate github logged-in session while browsing, channel readability could be abused to hijack company account, subscriptions can't be managed from the slack channel...) so any different idea would be very welcome.
As far as I know there is nothing that would suit your need completely at this moment, but have you considered labels?
#1 option You could use filtering based on label which seems to be the closest:
That would notify you about all issues, pulls, commits, releases, deployments that has a given label. Syntax example:
/github subscribe repo-owner/repo-name +label:"team-a"
Pros: a general filter based on a label name, e.g. team-a
Cons:
a single label filter only (AFAIK: multiple labels aren't supported but discussed: https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/384)
this works only for a label given when issue/PR is created. Not during its existence ("change label" events are not triggered). Known bug (https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/1594) and feature PR is open https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/965
Note: a workaround to get info about label change in PR: to convert PR to a draft and back (https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/965#issuecomment-1330884166)
#2 option Another thing that might be considered is that the account that is used within GitHub Slack app for connecting to Git server will be actually notified also about all its mentions, assignments & reviews! So if you don't use your personal account, you could get generated some related notifications to the whole team / other specific user etc.
EDIT:
Workaround steps to achieve partially what you want (but it can be in some conflict with your Slack / GitHub settings that I’m not aware of):
Use / create a shared account (or other special account) in GitHub
In Slack, use this special GitHub account for connecting Slack GitHub app to GitHub (this enables notifications by default for this account - mentions and assignments).
Then, when this GitHub account is assigned / mentioned, you’d automatically get notified (but again, then it would work not just for issues but hypothetically also in PRs etc.) to a dedicated channel where you'd have your GitHub integration set.
To auto-assign an issue, you'd have to use e.g. GitHub Actions.
Caveat: But as we discuss, there’s no simple way to achieve your goal completely. To at least get closer to something similar to what you describe and require, you’d need to accept some compromises and extra steps for workaround as it’s unfortunately not currently natively supported. 3rd hypothetical way is to create even more complex mechanisms of filtering & redirecting data which would be increase a level of complexity to just introduce but also maintain (unless you'd already have something similar existing in your infrastructure) and I wouldn't recommend it.
We have hundreds of business documents, and when a user makes a suggested edit or comment it's the manager's responsibility to review and approve/reject.
Google offers a feature to receive an email notification when a comment is made or suggested edit made(otherwise easy for managers to loose track or not know about suggested edits/comments), and we'd like to turn this on for managers but manually doing this for hundreds of documents is a maintenance nightmare. Is there an API that would allow us programmatically set this field, or even read it.
If there are no APIs is there some other recommended work flow such that employees can suggest improvements and managers will be proactively notified so they can approve/reject the suggestion(ISO 9001 Control of Documents/Records)?
PS I wrote some scripts to poll documents for open comments/suggestion, but we'd prefer to be proactively notified.
You could create a program to watch changes in files by using the SuggestionsViewMode. You need to fetch the entire document content and then look through it for suggestions.
result = service.documents().get(documentId=DOCUMENT_ID, suggestion_mode=SUGGEST_MODE).execute()
I assume by the previous response that there is not a way to change notification settings for a doc via API?
I actually have sort of the opposite problem of the OP, where I am generating lots of documents for a shared drive via automations. These docs are used by our team, but aren't generally relevant to me. Because my account is the one generating the docs, the notification setting defaults to "All comments and tasks".
It would be great if I could update my automation to change the notification setting to "Comments and tasks for you" after creating the doc. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I created a link to share a folder, deselecting the option that peers I invite must be approved on this device.
The other person used the link, and received a message that the "Sender needs to approve access to this folder based on these identity details".
My bittorrent sync window isn't showing me anything to indicate that someone is waiting on approval. I've never shared a folder via a link before (always just used keys directly on previous versions), so I have no idea how the program is supposed to prompt me for approval, and I can't find any documentation indicating how this prompt would be provided.
So there seem to be two problems here:
1. Even though I said the link doesn't require approval, they are being told that it does.
2. I don't have any way to approve it.
What's going on here? How do I fix this?
Thanks.
The most common cause of this is one of the systems having clock time out of sync too much, usually resetting your computers time using an online time server resolves it.
After some googling I found that this reason if caused by too many scheduled conferences by my Application Endpoint. My only problem is, how do I delete/remove currently stored scheduled conferences for my application endpoint, when the only access I have to my server is through PowerShell??
EDIT:
Just found a command that actually could increase number of scheduled meetings per organizer (Set-CsUserServicesConfiguration -MaxScheduledMeetingsPerOrganizer 2000), but it didn't change the issue. I'm still receiving MaxConferencesExceeded error. Any ideas??
Use Get-CsUserServicesConfiguration to make sure the change has actually occurred, and/or setting it globally to make sure it has the correct context for your users.
I've also found with a large pool, it can take a while to kick in.
Have you tried republishing your Lync topology after making the change? A bit dramatic, but can help with Lync gets itself into a knot with changes.
There's a lot of events happening all the time on my university campus, and, together with a few other students, we thought it would be nice to provide the event schedule as a calendar. So organisers register their event on the intranet, and it gets added to an icalendar file which people on the campus can subscribe to.
This works great when people load the calendar url on their iPhones, but it doesn't when loading in Google Calendar. We have noticed two problems:
When you subscribe to the calendar and then log out and back in, events are no longer visible. Sometimes, clicking refresh fixes it. The vents do not disappear from android devices associated with your account.
When an event is removed from the icalendar file (eg. if it's cancelled), it still remains on the android devices that sync with any google account that subscribed to the calendar. New events sync fine, though, so it's not that the sync didn't happen.
Do you know how I can solve these two problems? I've noticed the STATUS:CANCELLED property in VEVENTs, but it doesn't seem to work when the calendar method is PUBLISH.
Thanks!
PS: If you can suggest a way to test changes faster that waiting for Google to pull the changes from the server, it would be great; right now, I have to wait about 6 hours between each test...
my understanding is that removing it from the file is not the way to cancel an event. One must ensure that there is a UNIQUE identifier to match any changes.
Also must follow the spec for cancelling/changing an event.
See How to cancel an calendar event using ics files?
If all of that is correct, then the various applications that 'subscribe' to a calendar should in theory update the event status when they read the updated file. Unfortunately the speed and frequency of that is up to that application. (NB: note also difference between subscribe and "import")
Yes I have noticed that google is slow to update sometimes. Only thing I can think of is use another application where you have control perhaps over the subscription update frequency to test if the way that you are cancelling an event is working. Once you see the cancellations happening there, then resume testing on google (I have noticed Google is more pedantic than some apps, so you may still have to work to get it 100% working on google.)
Hope that helps!
I've tried the suggestions but Google Calendar only ever adds another event. The iCalendar validators say that the files I generate are valid, and iCal on the Mac removes an event if it has cancel information. But neither Google Calendar or Outlook do. Rather frustrating.
