How to have authors notified by email when a comment is added to their articles ?

If you need to have authors receiving an email when a comment is posted on one of their articles, do the following :

- install and enable token module, version next to 6.x-1.11 (dev version, presently)
- enable trigger module
- log in as administrator and go to Actions
- add an advanced "send tokenized email" action
- put [author-mail] in the receipient field and fill in other fields as you want
- go to the Triggers and click the "Comments" button
- in "After saving new comment", add the action you just created

"send tokenized email" extra step

i didn't get the "send tokenized email" action until i enabled the 'token actions' module. then i got it

('token actions' comes with 'token'. you don't need to download it separately)

correct if i'm wrong though

signature... what's a signature?
