TFS2010: Set up an alert that a team member sends an email when a work item is assigned to him

Question

I want to notify each team member when a work item is assigned to him. I know how to set up an alert for a team member (so if there are 10 team members, I set up 10 separate alerts), but is there a way to set up one alert that will send an email to the person who is assigned the work item to?

I have a filter:

"PortfolioProject" = 'MyProject' AND ("CoreFields/StringFields/Field[ReferenceName='System.AssignedTo']/OldValue" <> '@Me' AND "CoreFields/StringFields/Field[ReferenceName='System.AssignedTo']/NewValue" = '@Me') 

.. but I'm stuck on how to make the email address to which the message was sent to the public . Putting @Me in the "Send:" field is not surprising, it does not work!

Answer 1

Check out TFS Global Alerts , which is specifically designed for this kind of thing.

Answer 2

See TFS Event Handler

It seems to be in the process of updating too:
