- Open Alerts Editor (required TFS Power Tools to be installed locally).
- Create new alert.
- Choose “Check-In of a specific file happens”:
- Enter a name for the alert subscription, the destination e-mail address, desired team project name ($/Teamproject), if applicable, as well as your account name (to be excluded).
- The “Filter Expression” (2nd tab) looks now similar to:
‘Artifacts/Artifact[starts-with(translate(@ServerItem, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"), "$/playground")]’ <> null AND "Committer" <> ‘TFS\neno‘

why you have set this filter commiter<>TFS/neno? what does it means?
@hira: The goal (as the blog post title defined it) was to set up a notfification that only fires on other user’s check-ins, and not your own.
That’s why I excluded myself.
“TFS\Neno” is my active directory account.
