Email Alerts in TFS 2010

Question

I am working with TFS 2010 and wanted to set up email alerts, here is my requirement. I have created a new TeamProject in one of the collections, customized the task template. Now following groups are having access to create tasks: Dev, QA, PM, and Support group.

Now I need to set an email alert in such a way that whoever creates the task, the email should go only to that person who has created it, in addition, it should send alert to the assigned person as well.

I tried using Power tools it did not help. How can I achieve this in TFS 2010?

Answer 1

Open Visual Studio

Go to Team -> Alert explorer -> and Create new Alter Definition

Set Fields colum as "Assigned to"
Operator column "changes to" and in the value column put your name/email address.
