MT Hacks - Auto-Notification Needed
Published 5 years, 6 months ago in Moveable Type
I’m trying to learn more about hacks for Movable Type. What I really, really want is a way to send out notifications immediately after a posting is made (well perhaps time delayed by 5 minutes) but auto-notify doesn’t seem to be something that anyone has built yet. Ideally, I’d like to see a ‘post-by-post’ notify feature, and a ‘daily-digest’ feature.
I’ve set up a mailing list, so that I can do this, but haven’t found the right combination of existing hacks to get what I want done truly done.
If anyone’s interested in building something for me, I’d love to talk to you about the concepts. In the meantime, here are some more MT Hacking Links:

Don’t forget the plugins by me

Yet another thing for a personal ping proxy to do: once you write a script in your language of choice that accepts a weblogUpdate ping and then passes it on to weblogs.com, blo.gs, blogrolling.com, and whoever else you might want to ping, you can also do anything else that you might want to do after you add an entry: validate your XHTML and RSS, and email yourself if there’s an error, mail update notifications (though not once a day, I guess), parse the entry itself out of your RSS and send that to subscribers, whatever else you can think of. Assuming you’re using list software that does digests, you should be able to just send entries to the list as you add them and let it take care of digests. Sadly, so far I’ve been too lazy to actually write one, though…
This may not be what you are looking for, but Kung-Log (kung-foo.tv) allows you to do this. I am sure an addition to the edit/new entry menu is possible - time is limited, otherwise I would be interested myself in figuring this out…
mt also needs a way to send taregeted email messages or marketing to registered users.
