Allow Follow of Ideas

Salesforce Platform, Applications, Salesforce Ideas, User Experience

Allow "Follow" of Ideas so new activity on the idea will trigger an emailed update. This way, it would be easier to keep up with the progress and commentary around particular ideas. Allow "Unfollow" of Ideas along with this feature.

As a contributor to the Ideas of my company org, I'd like the option to receive notifications when people comment on my ideas. This would help automate tracking of thought and progress around the ideas.

Our product managers are requesting the ability to follow Ideas so they can be notified when it receives a vote.

I get emails for comments on all ideas I've upvoted. Isn't this standard?

I'm just setting up a new community now and writing my User Guide (have done this before with another community). I'm really surprised that you can't follow an Idea or any new content that gets posted there.

Here is my use case:
- The Ideas page will be managed by our Product Management team. They will also be moderating the commuity by following the Topics related to their products so they get notified. But when new comments come in on an Idea that a Product Manger is following, they want to be notified. I suppose they'd get notified by the Topic trigger.

So a quesiton is that when someone gets an email notification on a topic that theyre following, does it say (e.g in the subject line) that it's coming from an Idea?

There seem to be several recommendations to allow users to follow Ideas so they can keep up with changes or comments on the ideas that interest them. This is a standard on most objects and has a very strong use case here. Please give it some consideration!!
