Send e-mail when ownership is assigned?

Question

Hello Everybody,

I have a Task list and set the Send e-mail when ownership is assigned? to yes

The subject of the email received consists of the following  List Name+List Title+ "has been reassigned"
I would like to change the subject of the email from List Name+List Title+ "has been reassigned" to List Name+List Title+ "has been changed"

Any suggestions or solutions for this problem.

Thanks in advance

You need to look at:

SPAlertTemplateType.Tasks

Notification of changes in tasks

I don't want to set up an alert for the list. I am only setting Send e-mail when ownership is assigned? to yes and it will automatically generating email. But, i want to make change to the default subject of the email only.

Perhaps you can set "Send e-mail whn ownership is assigned" to false, and then manually create a workflow that sends an e-mail according to your specifications, using SharePoint Designer.

Hi,

  

   If you did not want to use alert for the list, eventhandler with  customized SendMail logic can be a solution.

 

   You can check the changes of field  “AssignedTo” of ItemUpdating event to send the e-mail, in which you can define the mail title dynamically.

 

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   public override void ItemUpdating(SPItemEventProperties properties)

   {

       //Use ListItem to get original Value

       string originalValue = properties.ListItem["AssignedTo"].ToString();

 

       //Use AfterProperties to get changed Value

   string reassignedValue = properties.AfterProperties["AssignedTo"].ToString();

   if(your condition)

   {

        //Here send mail

   }

 

}

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hope this can help.

 

Best Regards,
