Receive Notifications and Subscribe to discussions

When you have both the 'Notifications and subscriptions Module' and the 'Discussions Module' enabled, the end-users will have the following features:

  • They will be able to subscribe/unsubscribe to receive notifications when discussion messages are created in a specific record
  • When an end-user creates a discussion thread or adds a message in a thread, automatically will get subscribed to receive notifications when another user adds a discussion message (or new thread) in that record
  • When an end-user mentions other users of the application, the mentioned users will receive notifications automatically (and won't be able to subscribe/unsubscribe to this).

This is done because when you enable both modules when running the Design System Wizard, the following notifications are created:

A WorkWithPlus web application record detail page for the 'GENEXUS' company shows General Information fields (Company, Name, Description, Logo) and an open Discussions popup. One callout reads "The record 'GeneXus' does not have any discussion thread created yet" and another, pointing to the send icon, reads "In order to create a new thread, just type a message and press 'Enter', or click in the image to send it".

These notifications are sent manually in the procedure WWP_NotifyDiscussionMessage (the code is already added).
