Hi Francis.

I'm one of the senior developers who was heavily involved in getting Centralised Notifications designed and implemented. Thanks very much for the Kudos! It's always great to hear when something you build is appreciated and being used.

I like your suggestions. I had also considered the idea of allowing third-party recipients to be configured within any notification, much the same as you have done. I thought third-party developers might use the "additional criteria" functionality - a field could be added which lets admins specify the email recipients, then you could add a option "Third-party email recipients" option to the recipients list. Your solution sounds a bit cleaner than mine, directly tying the form field with the recipient option, and leaving it open for further third-party customisation, although it requires making more fundamental (but not too difficult) changes to the core notifications system.

We never got around to implementing a universal solution simply due to the time we had. I still like the idea of making this improvement. We'd definitely consider the solution you have come up with when working on it.

If you'd like to see us make improvements to the core Centralised Notification system, I suggest that you file an improvement request and get more feedback from the community.

Thanks,

Nathan
