Have you considered adding the capability to notify anonymous (meaning non-redmine registered users) email addresses ?

In my use of Redmine, we occasionally have individuals that should be "kept in the loop" as for changes to issues, but we do not want these users to be registered as users on out Redmine system.

What I could think of is something like being able to add a custom field to issues, and that custom field be of a specific type (like email address type or something). When populated, notifications should be sent according to the notification setup for such fields.

Hi, Yes, This plugin can easily be extended to adopt this. The non-project users need to be part as a watcher of the ticket.

Let me check have a look at this one. :) But this is against the core redmine implementation.

Thanks.

I realize this might be against core redmine but being able to do this saves a lot of time for both the notified person, as well as the redmine administrator. Having to create each person as a user, for the sole purpose of notification is an overshot in my opinion.

In order to prevent any potential conflicts with core redmine, it might be a good idea to present this as a seperate "watcher" list that would be on each ticket in addition to the core redmine watchers list. This new watchers list would be a list of email addresses, delimited by something (semicolon or whatever). This means that a standard redmine custom text field would do the job, only if the notification process would pick it up.

Thanks for your attention, Palli

Yes. That's one of the possibilities that I was thinking of. Having a text custom field.and user adding the email ids.
