Enabling the Web Alert Feature

1. Set up message queue and asynchronous processor.

2. Create messages.

Define components of the email to be sent to subscribers.

3. Define subscriptions.

Categories of information on your site. Site visitors can subscribe to be notified when content in a category is added or updated.

4. Assign Web Alert information to folders and content.

Assign Web Alert information to folders and content items which, when published, trigger emails.

For each folder or content item to which you assign subscriptions, determine

activities that trigger emails (for example, only upon initial publication of content)

the content of the email

the subscription list(s) to whom the email is sent

5. Create and publish site visitor registration page.

Create a new Web form and drop the membership server control onto it. Then, publish that form on your Web site.

Note:  This task is typically done by a developer.

6. Site visitors subscribe to lists of interest.

Someone signs up to be notified when changes in a selected subscription (category) are published on your Web site.

7. CMS users can also subscribe.
