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”).

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?

@waffleslop Were you able to get this to work? We are trying to do the same thing but think there might be a new bug preventing it from happening.
