Hello everyone,
Our client asked for a requirement where we should allow our users to subscribe to a "watchlist", allowing a user to click and be aware of any kind of changes that occur on a specific object and receive a notification (email, mobile...) whenever the object suffers any change.
What would be the best way to accomplish this? Does Appian support this function OOTB? I couldn't find any information regarding this process.
Kind regards

When you say 'specific object' are you referring to an Appian object or something such as a row in the database?
Hello Danny,
In this case, we will be working with data from the database.
Let's say for example that I have an Appian Site that allows a user to see All Orders created in our database.
Our goal is to allow a user to click on a button and to watch/unwatch all changes made to that specific order.
For example, let's say that user A creates the order, while user B changes the order status. We want to be able for User " to be a watcher of all changes made into this order and to un-watch whenever the user desires to.
Do you think this is possible to implement in Appian? Kind regards
It shouldn't be too hard to implement something like this, but it will need to be done manually i.e. via your own custom business logic, process models, and helper DB tables. I don't know of any out-of-box functionality or pre-built templates that would help you in avoiding any of this manual development, though.
