News submission email notify - does this work with admin users?

Hi
I want an email notification to be sent when a backend user submits/modifies a news article. I've entered an email address in the News Modules Option panel and I've been able to successfully send a test email to this address using the CMSMailer admin panel using 'Send Test Message'
However when a user logs into the backend and submits an article, no email is sent.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Oliver
I'm running:
CMS Version 1.4
News 2.8.2
CMSMailer 1.73.14

IIRC, is there no mail send on backend submission, only on FrontEnd submission.
You could insert an event to send a mail on the event "NewsArticleAdded".

I'm a newbie to CMSMS, how would I do this? by creating a new event in the backend?

I'm having the same issue. Would anyone be able to clarify the advice as I'm also unsure about what to do?
Thanks!

Check this logic.... It could be used to attach a similar block to the event "NewsArticleAdded".

I have been trying to solve this problem.
I made an event in the NewArticlePublished to point to the user defined tag below.
I make a User defined tag that notifies you by email.
But the user defined tag I made only sends an email, not the summary of the article, not the URL of the article.
I cannot figure out what to write in the user defined tag.
Help me on this.
I do not know how to use the help screen on the NewArticlePublished documentation.
Let's help one another and solve this:
Parameters
* \"news_id\" - Id of the news article
* \"category_id\" - Id of the category for this article
* \"title\" - Title of the article
* \"content\" - Content of the article
* \"summary\" - Summary of the article
* \"status\" - Status of the article ("draft" or "publish")
* \"start_time\" - Date the article should start being displayed
* \"end_time\" - Date the article should stop being displayed
* \"useexp\" - Whether the expiration date should be ignored or not
