Summary

Create a Joomla plugin that sends email notifications to all clients when monitored articles are updated. Primary use case: notifying clients when Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or other legal documents are changed.

Features

Article Monitoring

  • Select individual articles to monitor for changes
  • Select entire categories (e.g., "Legal") to monitor all articles within
  • Configure which article change events trigger notifications (publish, update, unpublish)

Notification Delivery

  • Send email notifications to all registered clients/contacts when a monitored article is updated
  • Support for bulk mailing protocols — integrate with services like:
    • Mailchimp
    • SendGrid
    • Other transactional/bulk email providers
  • Fallback to Joomla's native mail system for smaller lists

Email Content

  • Configurable email templates per category or article
  • Include a summary of what changed
  • Link to the updated article
  • Unsubscribe/preference management

Use Cases

  • Terms of Service updated → all clients notified
  • Privacy Policy changed → compliance notification sent
  • Legal category article added/modified → automatic distribution
  • Product announcements → bulk notification via Mailchimp

Integration Points

  • Joomla Contacts (recipient list from contact categories)
  • Mailchimp API (bulk email delivery)
  • MokoWaaS heartbeat (tenant-aware notifications)

Update: Mailchimp integration for bulk article notifications

The article update notification system should also support sending via Mailchimp — not just Joomla's native mail.

When a monitored article (or category of articles like "Legal") is updated:

  1. Send via Joomla mail for small lists (fallback)
  2. Send via Mailchimp API for bulk distribution — push to a Mailchimp audience/campaign

This ties into the broader MokoWaaS+ERP CRM vision (#192) where Mailchimp is a first-class marketing channel.
