Does Workflow-ng allow registered users to be emailed when a new product is added?

Hi,

I have need to inform registered users when new content - a product - has been added. It would be ideal if I could filter this down to certain types of product a user might have expressed preference for, however, at the moment I'm just trying to make sure I'm using the right collection of modules for the job.

So, as I understand it, Workflow-ng I can configure a rule to send a group email to all registered users as soon as a product is added by administrator?

Sorry if this is straightforward but I'm struggling with this a bit!
Thanks

I wouldn't have thought it possible, but looking at the default workflow-ng events and actions I don't see why not. Just make a new configuration for node creation and put a condition on it for node type... then send a message to all users of a certain role. You can use the "authenticated user" to send it to any logged in user, but that's probably a little spammy... there ought to be an actual user role people can apply for somehow and be removed from if they don't want your messages any more.

As an alternative, you can probably use drupal's subscription module:

http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions

It allows users to subscribe to new or changed content types like products etc.
