Is it possible to set up a project alert for a TFS site collection


Is it possible to set up an email project alert for the entire TFS collection or do they need to be created for each individual project in the collection?

I have tons of projects in my site collection and would like an email to be sent to our dev team every time a build of any project completes...

Maybe there is an easy way to do this with the alerts explorer (from the TFS powertools)?


Solution

  • OK I found out how to do this:

    1) Create a new project alert on any project.
    2) Open alerts explorer (Team > Alerts Explorer)
    3) Remove the Team Project Filter as in the screenshot below:
    4) Watch in awe as you get emailed whenever any project in your site collection completes a build.
