Hi there,
I would like to know if it is possible to send bulk email to defined user groups (e. g. when a certain article has been changed).

Yes, write a simple extension that uses the ArticleSaved event, run a quick title comparison within the hook function, and send the email to users using the UserMailer functions.

Hi Rob,
Thanks fort he hint.
I think I got the general idea of what you are talking about but it seems I am lacking some of the basics.
Do you have an advice where I can get an overview on how to get first hand information on extension programming (hook function, UserMailer Function)?
Regards
