Spreed: Talk flow is not sending notifications

[Tealk]

Hello,

is it possible that Talk sends a notification as soon as a new message has arrived?

I have created a flow that writes a message to a specific chat on every new upload, now I want to see this without looking at the chat.
Notifications in the notification center are also displayed via the sync client, but unfortunately Talk does not send such a notification.

Just go to the conversation where the messages are posted and change the notification level to "always notify"

[Tealk]

I did, but I'm still not getting any.

So here's what I set:

If someone uploads something to a shared folder that is not an image, a chat message should appear and I should get a notification.
But this does not work.

• Is the flow only triggered if I upload something myself?
• Why don't I get a notification even though I have set it up the way you have described it?

So, there is a bug in the flow component which breaks the flow when the user is a guest:
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/19186

But never the less notifications are not send, but at least a message is now posted into the chat.

nextcloud/server#19186

But I do not work with guests or public releases. In my example only registered users use the system.

But even if a message is created in Talk, I do not get a notification? Is this on purpose or a bug after all?

There is no possibility to assign uploads in certain folders to certain chats?

[nickvergessen]

Sure, apply a tag to the folder and add a check for that tag to the flow

[Tealk]

Does the following problem belong to the above mentioned?
If I upload a file myself and receive a message, there is no notification.

[Tealk]

The folder works, but I don't understand why.
The selection means that the file must have the tag not the parent folder?

[nickvergessen]

For tags it's the file or any parent, as otherwise tags would not work with shares

@nickvergessen Just a quick question: Does this work with groupfolders, too? In our case the Talk message is only generated when the file in a tagged folder is created by the user who created the flow action. We're using 19.0.2 with all apps up to the latest released version.

The File entity misses a check with group folders. Right now it validates whether the user is owner or has access to the file in question by share. The group folder case is missing there: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/apps/workflowengine/lib/Entity/File.php#L136-L147

Thanks for making it clear. So we will have to wait for a fix as we're relying heavily on groupfolders. As a workaround, everyone who has access to that special folder could create his own flow action...
