InterSystems IRIS supports publish and subscribe message delivery. Publish and subscribe refers to the technique of routing a message to one or more subscribers based on the fact that those subscribers have previously registered to be notified about messages on a specific topic.

This article demonstrates how several InterSystems IRIS capabilities can work together:

• Publish/Subscribe
• Email
• Workflow
• Alerts
• PPG (that's general capability though)

In this article we would send emails about:

• New workflow tasks
• Unassigned workflow tasks
• Uncompleted workflow tasks
• Ensemble alerts

Email recipients would be determined using Publish/Subscribe operation and each user would receive only digest email whenever possible.
