Drupal rules for sending email notifications & Rest API calls

[#1]

We are exploring 2 more features as part of our POC:

• -Integrate email notifications for forums (all forum actions; create a new forum, delete a forum, new comment, etc..)

• -And also we need to check if we can generate a rest API call upon a certain event through RULES

I have tried following a youtube video explaining how to add Rules for sending email notifications on forum activities at:

Even after setting up all of the areas, we are still not getting any email notification once someone replies to for example my post or vice versa.

After doing some research I found 2 more modules that might be useful for forum notifications. I am not sure if they will be and will appreciate if someone can provide feedback on them being useful/required for forum notifications or not:

• -Forum Notifications - https://www.drupal.org/project/notifications_forum

• -Subscriptions - https://www.drupal.org/project/subscriptions

Also, for the Rest API is it possible to add the module to our dev portal?

• -Rest API – I am not sure which module would be suitable for this as there are many available. I believe you already told us that you can add a Rest API module for us.
