[Anthill-pro] Anthill3 rc1.b6 - notification & stamping

It looks like the stamp might not exist. Has this build life ever been 
stamped?

Exactly right. This is actually the example covered in the built in 
apps. From the application, there's a 'help' option in the upper right 
hand corner. Open that link into a new window. The item you're 
interested in is "Configure Notifications" under the Tutorials category. 
There's a User Generators subsection with an example script. The key is 
that you can only email Anthill Pro 3 users, so you'll need to make sure 
everyone is in the system with their email addresses set.

If stamping was happening properly, I would think that this would be the 
same value as the stamp applied by the build workflow: 
$workflow.BuildLife.LatestStamp.StampValue

A generic workflow can have a 'Create Stamp Step'. This will let you 
pick an appropriate stamp style (probably one for each workflow) to 
apply at the end of the non-originating workflow. The mapping between 
the stamping style and a stamping strategyh (which holds the current 
build number / stamp) is done on the originating workflow and should be 
inherited down the build life.
