That probably because task-assign and task-reminder should be in the mail templates by default. anonymous wrote : What if I don't use templates - does that mean notify won't work ?? Yes, because that is the way they work.... If you don't have a car can you drive one? anonymous wrote : | My scenario is that a user pulls a task from a pool. The notify causes an email to be fired to himself. Isn't very useful. I would want an admin guy to assign tasks to people and they should be notified via email. Have you implemented anything like that ? Don't think anybody implemented it, but it would be a nice addition..... In combination with sending mail to the pooled actors to don't send a mail if the current actor is pulling a task from the pool and assign it to himself, but do send it if a manager/admin guy does it. Feel free to implement that in jBPM and contribute it and file a Jira issue. You can also just file a jira and hope it attracts enough attention to be implemented.
