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
- 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.
