Notify about new new update being available - but "programmatically"?

Hi guys.

Is it possible to tell discourse to notify about new update being available but outside of webui?

Perhaps sending an email or even better by using filesystem - touching/spitting out a customized file to a given location. When local installation itself, finds that such update is ready - not outside of this local discourse and by going out to git or any other, external source code repo.

Does that make sense?

many thanks, L.

i believe that new version emails is the admin setting you want
