hi all,
I was wondering if there is any OOTB solution for pushing notifications into the community. The use case for this would be lets say you have a learning platform and you want to make users who have done similar learnings or discussed learnings in the community aware of the new content through a notification.
API v1 doesnt allow this - is there a way to do it?
I assume your learning content is in TKB article form. Which resides under any board(TKB).
e.g Let says your learning platform look like something below.
- Learn (TKB)
- Content 1 (article)
- Content 2 (article)
- Content 3 (article)
What you can do, you can subscribe Learn board for the users using rest API. So, whenever new content will be added to learn board, users will get a notification.
To answer your original question: The Lithium Community notification system currently only supports the notifications you are familiar with (replies, kudos received, rank updates, mentions, solutions). As of now you cannot inject custom notification events like your proposed "new content is available". There doesn't seem to be an idea yet on such custom notifications, so feel free to submit that on the product ideas area.
TariqHussain's alternative solution via subscribing members to areas they participated in (or even only read) is a good one. Maybe position it more as a "one click to stay up to date" offer instead of subscribing them in the background though.
