Description
I have noticed that there are already some issues that have been created in the past that have to do with notification upon change of a node. I was wondering if storm could be integrated with the triggers module so that you could define actions that will be triggered upon certain events.
For example I would really like to know, as the assigned project manager for a project, when the project has been updated (i.e. marked as completed). It would be really nice if I could simple use triggers to have an an email sent to me when the status is changed.
I think if storm were to have any dependency this would be a good one to have as triggers is part of drupal core and could allow for some great functionality.
Thoughts?
#1
Marking a project as completed is simply another way of saying that a node has been edited - is there not already a (non-storm) trigger for this?
I wonder whether the more crucial part to getting that working would be #332555: Token support. The token being the email address of the project manager to plug into the action.

I think #332555: Token support is definitely a necessary start.
There is a non-storm trigger for if a node has been edited but it would be nice if you could specify what happens for each different edit that was made. For example it would be nice if once a project was assigned to you it would send an email to you letting you know. And then once the project, task, etc. is completed it would let the node creator know.
I'm changing this to low priority because I do feel that there are other more important issues that need to be addressed first but I just wanted to put this idea on the table.
Thanks!
