We’re actually overhauling notifications right now.
Fundamentally we’re doing a few things, but they play into a much longer term strategy:
- Breaking up notifications between workflow and alerts
- Adding numerous new notifications and subscription options focused on workflow
- Building a much more powerful system on top of alerts, which will include overhauling rules
These are fairly large projects, and while we expect workflow features to be available in 8.7, the alerts stuff we’re looking at a few months out.
The rest is an internal spec, primarily because we have a lot of competitors at this point, and we’d prefer they have to wait until we release things to implement our ideas :)
