I am working on a requirement to allow unauthenticated users to subscribe to a particular piece of content. That content is a simple structure/template which allows content admins to change some text and icons in order to indicate the status of particular services at my institution.
A co-worker is developing a service using service builder that will accept email addresses and store them, and then also handle the sending of mail.
I have to figure out how to:
1) Allow users to enter their email and submit it to the database.
and
2) Trigger the send mail service when the content is updated.
For the moment I am mostly asking about 2) Triggering the service.
If I can find a way to post to the service URL on the publish event, I think I should be able to do this. But I do not know how to listen for that event. Is there something obvious I am missing. Has anyone else had to do anything remotely similar with Web Content Display?
I realize there may be other alternatives, but at the moment I am limited to working inside these constraints. I did, for instance, read something about the PubSub feature of Open Social, but Open Social is not enabled on our liferay instance.
I am working in LR 6.1
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.
