Would what you're looking for be covered by #147 ?

In general, this issue about the integration of the web-hook integation, but in the discussion the email notification also mentioned. Therefore, yes, it is covered by #147.

This is a rather old issue, are there any plans for its implementation?

I'd also like to see this built into the core features. For now you can achieve it with a theme plugin like this - https://gist.github.com/cornernote/23f970210577d9c25dd906bcc5c53891

Can't get this working under 22.11 and 23.01. Every action using BookStack is commented with "An unknown error occurred" until I remove/rename themes/custom/function.php.

Haven't tested these on the latest release, but here's a couple of similar scripts that I've put together.
These are unsupported customizations and there are notes to consider on each:

Thanks. I now tried the second one because it allows to control notification a bit.
It throws no errors but it also sends no mail.
I set the tag "notify" (without value) to a book, changed it and got no mail to changing user and another with editor rights.

Same with "Email page updates based upon favourite pages" - no mail. Mail system is working, testing from bookstack is ok.

@rseffner, apologies for the errors, it would seem I missed the important step of adding the namespace to composer.json. I have updated the guide.

Since page update notifications were added in v23.08, I'll go ahead and close this one off.

That's not the same. With the previous hack, the creator of an article could ensure that certain users/groups were informed about article changes (push). With the now built-in function, only the user can decide whether and for which items he would like to receive notifications (pull).
We use bookstack as a wiki and would like to actively notify users in certain areas.

@rseffner Sure, but this issue was originally just for the core ability to have page update notifications you can opt-into, which was met by that release.

You already have #4514 open with the request for pushing preferences, so there's no use to re-open this issue for that also.
