Does Kentico 11 support Webhooks

We need to notify users through an email when documents of a specific type are published. Does Kentico 11 support firing webhooks on publication?

This would be a global event handler that would be put in place. The general process would be, when a page of a given type is published, send a notification to the list of users.

Thanks Brenden.

My experience with Modules is very limited and I remember from a previous project that errors in Modules tend to bring the whole site down. We may take this approach or use a separate site that uses REST to poll for new content. The REST polling solution is a kludge and much more work, but it's safer.

If we take this approach I will have more questions.

I'd highly weigh the benefits of that vs writing good module code. You're working in a version of Kentico that is no longer supported and is it worth that effort when a good Kentico dev could handle the creation pretty easy and make sure it doesn't take the site down.

The Content Notifications sound promising, but I see no place to configure the receiver address for the emails. There is a place to configure a receiver for error emails.

The users must subscribe themselves for the notifications.

Thanks, I just found that. The Kentico documentation leaves a lot to be desired. This may provide the answer.
