sending automated email using views
Hello I was looking for a way to send a notification for all users who flagged a node (using the flag module) i can get all of the users through views but am looking for an automated way to notify them about the updates on this node by sending them email is there a module that do such a thing I've seen the views email module but it's not automated and it's really complicated and hard to use i was planning to create a module that will use actions and triggers to send automated emails for user list generated through views but i wont to make sure if there is something ready out there thank you.

is there a module that do such a thing I've seen the views email module but it's not automated and it's really complicated and hard to use Use the flag modules hook about its actions (hook_flag). Works much like hook_nodeapi but for flags. And has just what youre looking for. -mf
Hi Waleed, You may wish to have a look at the Rules Executor module (http://drupal.org/project/rules_executor) which allows you to pump the results of a view (the users you want to send the email to) into a ruleset (which can send an email to a user). It's a bit rough around the edges, but needs people to test it and use it and work out what needs fixing/adding/changing.

There is notify_by_views module, but it has never been updated for Drupal 6. Best, Matt On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 11:15 AM, Waleed Qadi <qadiwaleed@gmail.com> wrote:
