    Custom send to publish notification emails

    Hello fellow Umbracians,

    I'm facing an issue at the moment where i am trying to improve the emails produced by the NotificationService when using Send To Publish.

    At the moment the standard emails is OK until it has to display Nested Content modules (as an example). At the moment it just returns JSON data, which as a developer is fine, but for our client not so much.

    I'm trying to find a way to intercept this data in order to make it more readable but i can't seem to find anything. The closest i have found so far was some information from this article http://www.felinesoft.com/blog/replacing-umbraco-services-notification-service/ and by looking at the source code for the NotificationSevice and related code.

    I'm getting a better basic understanding of how it works, but not on how to extend/intercept it, without potentially disabling the Umbraco notifications entirely and doing them all for scratch.

    Has anyone had any experience with this.

    Thanks in advance.

    P.S. I would also like to try and improve the way Nested Content is displayed when using the Rollback feature but this is probably a different thing entirely.

    This might not be totally relevant, but I needed to know this and could be helpful for others in the future...

    The code for these emails is within the lang files inside Umbraco. I tried to change the surrounding content for send to publish notifications and found that you can create your own user language files: ~/Config/Lang/en-US.user.xml

    Reference: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Extending/Language-Files/#user-language-files

    Inside the user XML file, you can then override a key:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<language>
    <area alias="notifications">
        <key alias="mailBodyHtml">Hello from Karl Tynan</key>
    </area>
</language>

    This doesn't, however, allow you to edit or format the data that is passed into the email.
