Notify

What is Notify?¶

Notify sends email updates to users on your site and (optionally) posts to Twitter and Facebook. The users can be selected by User Group, and/or by tags specifying user interests. The updates are manual, rather than automatic, so Notify only sends them when you tell it to. The Subscribe extra works with Notify to let users manage their preferences and group memberships.

By default, Notify automatically sends a link to the page you were editing when you launched it, but it can also be used for free-form email messages to selected users, or all users.

Notify pre-fills an update form based on Tpl chunks you can modify. During the pre-fill process, Notify will (optionally) shorten any URLs using any one of a number of URL-shortening services. For services like Google, bit.ly, StumbleUpon, and TinyURL, Notify will use your API key during the shortening process.
