Creating Herald rules for notifications
Currently restricted to members of the groups #Trusted-Contributors, #WMF-NDA, acl*Batch-Editors, and Phabricator admins.

This is how you create custom (personal) notification rules in Wikimedia Phabricator's Herald. Imagine you want to watch all the tasks that are being created: This is it. From that point, you will receive an email for every task being created. This is probably too much, though. This is how you can filter these notifications: You see where is this going. Adapting these rules you can watch the entire activity of a specific project without having to join it, you can watch certain keywords across the entire Phabricator, etc.

Global Herald rules
To create global Herald rules (rules unrelated to your personal account, like adding a project to a task when another project is added), create a task in Phabricator describing your request. If the request is not completed within a reasonable amount of time, contact one of the Phabricator admins (preferably User:AKlapper (WMF)).
