Chapter 23 - Administering the Web Alert Feature
The Web Alert feature enables Ektron CMS400.NET to generate email for a list of registered users whenever new content appears on your site, or existing content is updated.
For example, anyone may register to be notified when new information about your product is published. As soon as a page is published on your site, registered users receive an email announcement with a link to the new/updated page. The recipient clicks the link to immediately access the page.
As a result, a self-selected group of users can be instantly notified of changes on your Web site relating to their interests. Once the system is set up, you don’t need to do anything -- everything happens in the background.
Note: Only members of the Administrator User Group and users identified on the Manage Members for Role: Folder User Admin screen can work with Web Alerts.
