@Dino-at-Google my apologies I read Karl response, when I saw your response I must have read it incorrectly. I thought you were offering an alternate solution my apologies, but to answer your question Karl solution is working. Thanks @Karl Scheirer

@dino-at-google, In my case I do get email notifications when users create an account on my dev portal, but if I need an email alert when a user creates an app from one of my API's I do not get this notification.

@Dino-at-GoogleSo how would be able to send notifications in Drupal 8 when a user creates a new app..Is this even possible?
