We want to replace a number of The Wikipedia Library's emails with Echo notifications. These notifications will be triggered by an event on the library, so we need to figure out the technical approach to this communication.
How will the library communicate with MediaWiki to trigger a notification?
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T353476 Replace The Wikipedia Library's email functionality with a combination of platform features and Echo notifications | |||
| Open | Spike | None | T355547 SPIKE: Determine technical approach for Echo notifications from The Wikipedia Library |
Old task requesting ability to create custom Echo notifications: T58362: Allow creating custom Echo notifications.
It may also be easier to send email from on-wiki Special:EmailUser (API) using a dedicated account for this usage.
This is a great idea, thank you for the suggestion! We're going to give this a go and see if it works for our use cases.
