 * Hi!
 * I have created User Groups and assigned users to each of them for the different“
   departments”. Inside every user group, there is at least one contributor and 
   one editor.
 * I would like it so that when any contributor in a user group drafts a post (or
   submits them for review), that these posts automatically have the notification
   setting selected – so that editors are aware when new posts have been submitted
   without them having to keep logging into the dashboard to check.
 * I think the easiest way would be for all posts to automatically have the Notification
   setting selected based on their group – regardless of whether its a contributor/
   editor/etc.
 * Is this possible?
 * Thanks,
    Kristy

 * It should be pretty easy to improve our existing example so you can do this as
   well. I’ve [filed an issue to do so](https://github.com/danielbachhuber/Edit-Flow/issues/88)
   and will update this thread when I’m done.

 * Finally updated our example to include information on how this works: [http://editflow.org/extend/auto-subscribe-user-groups-for-notifications/](http://editflow.org/extend/auto-subscribe-user-groups-for-notifications/)
 * It’s pretty simple. Basically, we get all user groups for whomever is set as 
   the post author, and then auto-subscribe those user groups when you save the 
   post.
 * Let me know if you had different requirements than this.
