In a previous post I had the opportunity to present the Entity Activity module which allows us to set up a notification system on any type of Drupal 8 content entity, according to the three main actions of their life cycle: creation, update and deletion. Since beta version 8, the Entity Activity module includes a sub-module, Entity Activity Mail, which now allows us to send by email a summary of the notifications generated for each user, according to a frequency that can be configured by each user. Let's discover this new feature.

For many Drupal 8 projects that have minimal interaction with their users, the need to set up a notification system quickly comes to the forefront. Being notified of a new comment, a response to a comment, a new publication on a particular subject, or a user, are recurring needs. To satisfy this type of need, we are going to talk here about a new module Entity Activity whose sole purpose is to log all types of actions performed, by users, according to their subscriptions, on a project. The Entity Activity module will allow us to generate any type of message, on any type of content entity on the tree main operations of the content life cycle: its creation, its update and its deletion.
