[Koha] email alert

[David Nind]

Hi.

As far as I can know, there is not an easy out-of-the-box feature in the
OPAC for patrons to:
1. Create a search
2. Register/subscribe to an alert for that search
3. Receive an email when new/changed items are added

Hopefully, that is what you are asking about!

The Koha OPAC has RSS feeds (see the icon after the search results title -
"Your search returned XX results."). So patrons could use a feed reader and
subscribe to the RSS feeds. There may also be services available that let
patrons receive RSS feed changes as an email - I haven't looked....

In addition, if you are using a discovery layer (such as Aspen, Vufind,
Bokeh), then they may have this feature.

There are probably other solutions out there... hopefully someone else more
knowledgeable may be able to comment.
