Use case: I use Discourse as a bit of an LMS, with lessons that “drip” twice a month. I build these lessons inside a category (“Lessons - Queue”) and then schedule them to auto-post to a student-visible category (“Lessons”).

When I have this auto-publish (which is really just moving a published topic from one category to another), I do not believe there is any notification sent to the students that a new lesson is available.

Barring using a tool like Mailchimp to send a notification out, or manually getting on the post and `@All-Student` commenting everyone, is there another way to automatically notify everyone of the post?
