Information
Trombinoscope Contacts
Pro 3.0

These options are relevant to the edition of a contact (outside the context of contact edition in the user profile).

Contact edition is available to any user who is the creator of the contact (and has the permission edit.own) and/or to any user who is linked to one or more contact(s) (and has permission edit.linked).

Notify admins Send an email or a private message to all administrators who can receive system emails. They will be informed of the contact edition after the user saves it.
Note Administrators need to be able to receive system emails (user account setting).

You can override the messages by changing the language keys:
COM_TROMBINOSCOPEEXTENDED_EMAIL_CONTACTEDITED_SUBJECT for the subject and COM_TROMBINOSCOPEEXTENDED_EMAIL_CONTACTEDITED_BODY for the body

Joomla 4 Since v4.13, the email sent is using a new mail template. Go to System -> Mail Templates and look for the extension's edit notification template. You can also now add an account of what fields have been modified during edit. More information can be found at Using Mail Templates
