Caveats

Exclusions

When a notification is triggered, the module code checks the email address of the current user against the email addresses in the module configuration. If the email address of the current user matches one of the configured addresses, that email will be removed from the recipients list when the notification is sent.

This check is implemented so that a user who receives notifications will not be notified of actions they performed. They will only receive notifications of actions performed by other users.

For this exclusion to work, the email address in the module configuration must match the email address on the user’s Drupal account.

Bulk Node Generation

Bulk actions can trigger notifications from this module, and if many nodes are created at one time the result could be an avalanche of emails sent to the addresses specified in the module configuration. Because of this possibility, I recommend the following:

• configure the module to not send notifications for node types that might be auto- or bulk-generated; or
  
• temporarily disable the module when importing content via feeds, migration, or some other bulk process.

Automatic Processes

Some automatic processes that update nodes will trigger notifications. This will result in notifications of changed content even though no user has made any changes.
