How to create a field and an action on field in Plone 5?

I have installed a Plone with the following information:

Plone vr 5.0.7 (5017) CMF 2.2.10 Zope 2.13.26 Python 2.7.13 (default, Jul 26 2017, 16:31:12) [GCC 4.3.0] PIL 1.1.7

Was wondering how can I relate a field (when you add a field on content type) to an action! So the idea is to create a field that admin can choose which user group can receive an email/notification when the content is published. I know I can add a rule content for emailing but I would have a choice to choose which user group can receive it. Could be an add-on or something in Plone?

Thank you!

To actually add a field and relate it to an action, you'd need to program dedicated content-types.

Yet, as you want to grant the privilege "get mail on publication" to certain groups, it would be consistent to solve this as a permission-assignments, meaning to grant the groups a local-role on the item.

In concrete that would boil down to these steps:

  • Create a new role, e.g. "Receiver".
  • Install "collective.contentrules.mailtorole".
  • Create a global content-rule which checks on publication of any item who holds the local-role "Receiver" on the item, and sends the mail to them.

The admin can then assign the groups to the new role "Receiver" via the sharing-tab of an item.

Add a "User's group" condition in the content rule declaration.
