Hey all!

Appreciate I have quite a unique use case but wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

On user sign up a user selects which 'sectors' their company falls into from the Sectors vocab. This vocabulary is used in the Articles content type and when a new item is added I want all Users who assigned themselves to that Vocab to get an alert.

Since the 'Sectors' is part of their profile and used elsewhere on the site ( in a directory ) its not a subscription as such, the subscription has to be created automatically from assigning ( or indeed unassigning ) themselves from a term.

I had thought I could perhaps use a Custom Subscription to add a tickbox saying "Subscribe to alerts for your sector" but it seems I need to add a particular term in the UI rather than pass an array dynamically somwhere in some custom code.

Does this sound like a good way of doing this or anyone have any other ideas / precedents?

Yeah I was actually thinking of doing the same thing for my site. Seems like it shouldn't be too hard though. What have you looked into so far?

Auto Assign roles has the functions, but it doesn't have Taxonomy registration,I am also looking for the same kind but with a Hierarchical select,
Did you get a solution please share
