How Web Alert Works
The following explains how Web Alert email works.
1. Content is published.
2. Ektron CMS400.NET checks the This is a staging server
checkbox on the Configuration > Application Setup screen. If it
is unchecked, proceed to the next step. If the box is checked,
no Web alerts will be issued for this server.
3. Ektron CMS400.NET checks to see if any subscriptions are
assigned to the folder or content. (Subscriptions can be
assigned at the folder or content level.)
If no subscriptions are assigned, the Web Alerts tab does not
appear when editing content.
4. If any subscription is assigned, Ektron CMS400.NET checks to
see if an email should be created for this content. The settings
appear under Web Alerts tab.
For example, some content only triggers an email when it is
first published, while other items always generate an email.
5. If an email should be generated, Ektron CMS400.NET builds the
email content by retrieving information from fields on the Folder
Properties screen. These are identified under the Web Alert
Contents section of the Web Alerts tab.
6. Ektron CMS400.NET determines which subscription lists should
receive the email. These are identified on the Available Web
Alerts area of the Web Alerts tab. Each list contains the email
address of every subscribed user.
