I created the workflow in sharepoint designer using Collect data from user option. The approver receives three automated mail.
1) Notification to approve - Task assigned email
2) After approval, task has been changed alert
3) Another task has been changed alert
Is there an option to suppress the last two task has been changed alert? I would like to send only the Task assigned mail to approver
I faced a similar issue and after a research i found a solution that works well for me. I have used Sharepoint Manager 2007 http://www.codeplex.com/. Just use it and do the following as in screen dump:
http://sharepointburger.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/sp20071.png
The first "You've been assigned a task" email is a feature of the Task list template and can be changed in List Settings > Advance Settings > Send e-mail when ownership is assigned.
The second two emails are "Alert me" emails. (Not sure why you are getting two, I suspect you my have signed up with 2 different users accounts that could even have the same email address.)
To delete the Alert Me for the currently logged on user.
Actions > Alert Me > View my existing alerts on this site
Then select your alert and Delete.
By the way - this is not a programming related question (See FAQ top right) so you may get quicker answers by posting similar questions on sites such as superuser.com or SharePoint.SE
I guess that you created your workflow in a "Task" list that has the email alert to "Assigned To" enabled. You can disable this feature under Settings, List Settings, Advanced Settings.
Your approver likely has "Alert Me" features enabled for this list. You can delete these under Action, All Site Settings, User Alerts.
As a side note. Answer to the question this title sounds like it is asking: The "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" feature in "Tasks" lists on SharePoint often causes problems by sending unwanted emails like the task has been changed alert this question refers to. For those of us who Own sites below the site collection level and do not have access to the top level. Here is a way to fix such problems.
Turn of the "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" feature and design a workflow in SharePoint designer that mirrors this feature minus to portion of the functionality that is not wanted.

In Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1.2, is there a way to turn off e-mail notifications for test-related work items for my projects? Specifically, when testers make links with user stories or add steps to tests, I get flooded with e-mails. This didn't used to happen before, and yes, I did something to cause it but don't know what that was. But I now want to explicitly shut test-related types off. All my other notification types seem to be working/filtering as desired.
Thank you.
According to you description, it seems related to the notification of the work items. You could try to go to the Notification settings and then disable the subscription of "A work item assigned to me is change" to check the result.
If not, please check if you have installed Email report extension or other email notification extensions.
I'm an administrator of a Google apps domain and we recently reactivated an account which was suspended for around 6 months. Regular emails to this user are working well but emails to a group to which this user belongs does not seem to reach the user.
I tried deleting the user from the group and adding him again, but to no avail.
What might be the problem? And what is the solution to this?
You may refer with this thread. It suggested to check the email delivery setting and the spam folder. Here's another reference which might also help: Not getting a group’s emails
If you’re not getting emails from your group, check your email delivery setting:
Sign in to Google Groups.
Click My Groups.
Choose a group.
At the top right, click My settings.
Select Membership and email settings.
Check "Email delivery preference." Make sure that you haven’t selected "Don’t send email updates."
After making changes, click Save.
Working with the 'Track & Plan' feature of the IBM Bluemix DevOps Services generates a lot of email notifications to my co-workers and me. For example, notifications are sent out for each work item creation, modification or assignment. As the number of such mails is overwhelming, I would like to deactivate them.
If I had full access to the underlying RTC instance I would go about this as outlined in the RTC Knowledge Center - Configuring notifications in the web client.
So far I haven't been able to find a comparable configuration page in the version hosted on DevOps Services. Also, the Bluemix DevOps Services Documentation (e.g. Track and plan) didn't yield any hints in that direction.
Is there a way to disable these notifications either completely or at least partly? If so, how?
You can disable email notifications by following the instructions here:
https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/185255/configuring-track-plan-email-notifications.html
Find your name on a full page workitem and click on it (could be in created by, subscribed, mentioned in a comment, ...)
You'll land in a page that has your profile and some license information...ignore that. Take the URL from the browser window and paste it into a text editor or some text buffer somewhere. e.g. https://hub.jazz.net/jts08/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.viewUserProfileemId=_yyeAwKGKEeSa6LqyswPPCA
Go back to the Track&Plan view click on "Track & Plan" drop down and select the "Project Dashboard". You should now have a URL that looks like: https://hub.jazz.net/ccm08/web/projects/dleroux%20%7C%20TestNewSprint#action=com.ibm.team.dashboard.viewDashboard
Take the action portion from URL in 2 and replace the action portion of the url in 3 giving you something like: https://hub.jazz.net/ccm08/web/projects/dleroux%20%7C%20TestNewSprint#action=com.ibm.team.repository.viewUserProfileemId=_yyeAwKGKEeSa6LqyswPPCA
Navigate to the URL...select "Mail configuration"
I have generated the codes with app script in order to send emails automatically if users changed some values in google spreadsheet, which is working fine.
Now I am sharing my google spreadsheet with the app script to two more person (e.g: PersonA, PersonB). Thus, I want whoever changes anything on google spreadsheet will be sending an email under his/her own account. E.g: [All of us needs to edit within the google spreadsheet itself, without going to the "current web app url", (thanks Cameron Roberts for the clarification] if PersonA changes anything, then an email will be sent out under PersonA's account, and an email will be sent out under PersonB's account if PersonB changes anything.
I did something based on the advice from user2970721 and Cameron Roberts. I adjusted "Deploy web App" as "User accessing the web app". e.g:
I also asked PersonA & PersonB to do the same under their accounts and made sure they have triggered the script at least once. e.g:
My issue is that after I have done all these mentioned above, no matter who changes anything on google spreadsheet, emails were always sent out from PersonB's account (my best guess is that I messed up something and PersonB was the last one who triggered the script).
Does the "Project version" need to be different for me, PersonA, and PersonB, or anything else I need to change? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
First, Your project versions do not need to be different for each user.
I'm assuming you are using the On Change event, rather than a web-app. If that's the case, you should disable the WebApp entirely, as it's not needed.
When PersonA creates an On Change trigger, that will be triggered anytime any user (eg PersonA or PersonB) edits the spreadsheet. When it is triggered the code will execute as PersonA , because PersonA created the trigger. As a result, the email will be sent from PersonA's account.
For the scenario you describe, where both PersonA and PersonB have created OnChange triggers and authorised the script. I would expect emails to be sent from both accounts that have created triggers.
To send only one email, from the account that did the edit, I think you would need to do a check to determine if the user who did the edit matches the user under who's authority the script is running. I've never done this before and the docs don't really make it clear if it's possible.
Try checking the User object (Eg e.user) included with the Change event, and see if that email address is reflecting the different users making the edits.
If it is, you can compare it with the effective user and send the email if they match.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/base/user
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/base/session#getEffectiveUser()
Finally, it might be simpler to just include the address of the person making the edit in your email subject, and just have all the emails send from one account. That way you know who made the edit, but don't need to have every user create a trigger and do all the extra checking.
How do I turn off the Pending email warning?
In fact how do I turn off all pop-up reminders in CRM 2011 RU13?
To recreate.
Create an email and save it (direction must be Outgoing) . Wait a few days (If you know how to
trigger it earlier tell me). Check in IE that you get the pending
email message. Open the CRM in chrome...note that it fails Go back to
IE Activities -> emails -> pending emails and delete the emails there
Open the CRM in Chrome and rejoice.
I guess my current workaround would be a workflow that finds emails like this:
Direction Equals 'Outgoing' AND (Status Reason Equals 'Pending Send;Sending' AND Activity Status Equals 'Completed' OR Status Reason Equals 'Failed' AND Activity Status Equals 'Open')
and kills them which is really bad.
EDIT:
Yes, it is the latest version of chrome.
TO BE CLEAR
I want to turn the popup reminders off in CRM. I have no control over the way people configure their browsers. I should, however, be able to configure CRM but, as seems so often the case, I can't.
Popups and Dialogs break the web. Just look at this site (stackoverflow), plenty of notifications and ways of collecting user input without a sniff of a popup message/dialog.
People turn popup blockers on because they represent a security risk. So this, IMHO, is an awful "Feature".
EDIT 2
And even if you needed to add popups, why would you make them blocking? I assume this is why chrome hangs.
Try enabling pop-ups in Chrome for your CRM site. Worked for me.
You may be fixing the wrong problem.
"Pending send" emails tell you that something is wrong.
Saving a new email (a draft, if you like) does not cause this. A user or workflow or marketing campaign can create emails all day long and not send them, and you will not see this warning message (the emails simply appear as activities to be done in your "to-do" list)
An email is "pending send" only if you send en email from CRM 'from' a user configured to use Outlook for outgoing mail but not logged on to Outlook for a while, or via email router but that is mis-configured (eg no credentials for that user) or not running. Figure out why the emails are "pending" and fix this issue, then your Chrome problem will vanish.
