Add watchers

[VictorSF1]

Hi,
How to handle the event when adding an watchers?
For example, when adding new watchers, send him custom emails.

@VictorSF1 What is reason to give info to user, that were add as watcher? If you add user as watcher and write comment, he receives notification...

If I write a comment, both the performer and other watchers will receive it.
And I need to send an custom message to the currently added watchers.
Are there any plans to add a trigger to watchers?

@VictorSF1 Have you solved it ？ I have the same issue ,
I need to send notications(not email) to watchers using a custom script

I managed to auto add specific watcher on specific status & tracker with this code:

# Check if the status_id of the issue has changed
if @issue.status_id_changed?

  # Check if the tracker_id of the issue is YOUR ID
  if @issue.tracker_id == YOUR ID

    # Check if the status_id is YOUR ID 
    if @issue.status_id == YOUR ID
      # Add watcher
      self.add_watcher(User.find_by_id(YOUR ID))
    end
  end
end

      # Add watcher
      self.add_watcher(User.find_by_id(YOUR ID))
    end
  end
end

Thank you for your reply.
But maybe you misunderstand this issue.
It is to do something when adding watcher, instead of , adding watcher when status changed.
I am going to do it following https://www.redmine.org/issues/1757
