Turn your site's own activity into a reason for people to come back.
Trend-Notify is a powerful engagement and re-engagement addon built exclusively for Sngine. It automatically monitors activity already happening across your website and notifies the right people when a group, event, page, post, or comment starts gaining significant attention.
You need Sngine for this addon to work. Trend-Notify is designed to work with Sngine's existing users, groups, events, pages, posts, comments, reactions, followers, notification system, and email configuration. Buy Sngine from codecanyon here
Your community is already creating activity every day. Groups are gaining members, events are receiving RSVPs, pages are getting likes, posts are receiving reactions and comments, and conversations are becoming more active.
Trend-Notify turns those moments into timely opportunities for re-engagement.
Instead of waiting for members to discover popular content on their own, Trend-Notify automatically identifies important activity and brings it to the attention of the people who are most relevant to it.
A group starts gaining traction?
Notify its administrator.
A member's post starts receiving significant engagement?
Notify the author and the people who follow them.
A comment becomes highly active?
Notify the commenter, the original post author, and relevant followers.
Your site has accumulated great posts?
Automatically send a digest featuring your site's top content.
This creates a natural engagement loop that works with the content and activity your community is already producing.
How Trend-Notify Works
Trend-Notify works automatically in the background using scheduled processing. It scans your site's existing activity, compares it against administrator-defined thresholds, queues qualifying notifications, and processes those notifications through separate workers.
1. Your Site Creates Activity
Members join groups, RSVP to events, like pages, publish posts, react, comment, and interact with other members.
2. Trend-Notify Detects Significant Activity
Scheduled scans compare current activity against the thresholds and settings configured by the administrator.
3. A Trending Event Is Identified
When a group, event, page, post, or comment reaches the configured conditions, Trend-Notify identifies it as trending.
4. The Appropriate People Are Selected
The addon determines who should receive the notification based on the type of trending activity.
5. Notifications Are Queued
Qualifying notifications are placed into dedicated queues so detection and delivery can be processed separately.
6. Notifications Are Delivered
Worker processes drain the queues and send the appropriate notifications and emails using your site's existing Sngine email configuration.
Entity Trending
Trend-Notify can monitor groups, events, and pages and notify their administrators when they reach an administrator-defined popularity threshold.
This means administrators do not need to constantly monitor their community statistics manually.
When an entity reaches the configured threshold, Trend-Notify can tell its administrator that the community is gaining traction.
For example:
“Your group is trending — your community has reached the configured activity threshold.”
Post Trending
Posts can become increasingly valuable as people react and participate in the conversation.
Trend-Notify monitors post engagement using administrator-defined thresholds for likes/reactions and comments.
When a post reaches the configured trending conditions, Trend-Notify can notify:
This gives the author a timely reason to return to their content while giving followers a reason to revisit a conversation that is gaining attention.
Comment Trending
Sometimes the most engaging part of a post is the conversation underneath it.
Trend-Notify monitors comment reactions and can identify comments that reach the administrator-defined reaction threshold.
When a comment becomes trending, notifications can be sent to:
Comment trending counts reaction activity across the reaction types supported by your site rather than assuming that only a single “like” reaction exists.
This makes the feature suitable for Sngine installations using custom or multiple reaction types.
Trending Digest
Trend-Notify also includes a periodic Trending Digest that automatically rounds up your site's strongest posts into a single email.
Instead of manually selecting content every week, the addon evaluates post activity and ranks posts using an administrator-configurable combination of reactions and comments.
Administrators can control:
The result is an automated content roundup that gives members another reason to open an email from your website and discover what has been happening across the community.
Smart Trending Episode Tracking
Trend-Notify does not permanently treat an item as “already notified” after its first threshold crossing.
For entity, post, and comment trending, the addon tracks whether an item is currently in a trending state.
If an item crosses its threshold, a notification can be triggered.
If its activity later falls below the threshold, that trending episode ends.
If the same item later crosses the threshold again, Trend-Notify can recognize the new episode and trigger another notification.
This allows trending notifications to respond to renewed activity instead of permanently limiting each item to a single alert.
Configurable Lookback Windows
Trend-Notify provides administrator-controlled lookback windows for post and comment trending.
These settings determine the period of activity considered when evaluating whether posts and comments have reached their configured trending conditions.
This gives site owners more control over how recent activity should influence trending detection.
Threshold-Based Detection
Trend-Notify uses administrator-defined thresholds rather than assuming that every Sngine site has the same activity level.
Administrators can configure thresholds for:
Thresholds can be adjusted to match the size and activity level of your own community.
Important: Trending thresholds are compared against raw activity counts within the configured conditions, not against engagement rates or velocity. A post that accumulates engagement gradually can therefore reach the same threshold as one that receives a sudden spike.
Digest Ranking & Scoring
The Trending Digest ranks posts using an administrator-configurable scoring model based on reactions and comments.
Digest Score = (Reactions × Reaction Weight) + (Comments × Comment Weight)
This allows administrators to decide how much influence each type of engagement should have when determining which posts deserve to appear in the digest.
A community focused on discussion can give comments greater importance, while another community may want reactions to have a stronger influence.
Who Gets Notified?
Trend-Notify is designed to send each type of notification to the people most relevant to the activity.
Entity trending: The entity's administrator(s).
Post trending: The post author and the author's followers.
Comment trending: The commenter, the original post author, and the commenter's followers.
Trending digest: Users who have opted in to receive the digest.
Six Personal Notification Controls
Every member can control their own Trend-Notify notification preferences from the user notification settings.
Users who have never saved their Trend-Notify preferences default to receiving these notification types, while still having the ability to change their preferences.
Administrator Controls
Trend-Notify provides a dedicated administrator settings system for controlling how the addon behaves across the site.
Administrators can control:
Sitewide switches take priority over individual user preferences. If an administrator disables a notification type across the site, that notification type will not be sent even if an individual user has enabled it.
Background Processing
Trend-Notify is designed to work quietly in the background through scheduled processing.
Detection and delivery are separated into cron and worker processes. Cron processes scan activity and build notification queues, while worker processes drain those queues and handle delivery.
This architecture keeps activity detection separate from email delivery and allows the addon to process notifications in controlled batches.
Queue-Based Architecture
Trend-Notify uses dedicated queues for its different notification systems, including entity, post, comment, and digest processing.
A combined worker is also available for post and comment queues, allowing those two notification systems to be processed by one worker when desired.
This queue-and-worker architecture is designed for reliable background processing rather than attempting to perform all notification delivery during a single activity scan.
Uses Sngine's Existing Email System
Trend-Notify does not require a separate SMTP service or email configuration.
It uses the email configuration already provided by your Sngine installation. If your Sngine website is already configured to send email successfully, Trend-Notify can use that same configuration for its notification emails and trending digest.
Editable HTML Email Templates
Every Trend-Notify email is built from an editable HTML template, keeping the presentation separate from the notification logic.
Included templates cover:
The templates use simple {{placeholder}} values that are filled automatically when an email is generated.
You can therefore restyle the email layouts in a normal text editor without changing the PHP notification logic.
Seamless Sngine Integration
Trend-Notify is designed around Sngine's existing systems rather than creating duplicate systems of its own.
It works with Sngine's existing users, groups, events, pages, posts, comments, reactions, followers, notification system, settings architecture, and email configuration.
There is no separate member dashboard, separate messaging system, or separate content platform to learn.
No Sngine Core File Modifications
Trend-Notify operates as a standalone addon and keeps its functionality inside its own addon structure.
It does not require modifications to Sngine core files, helping keep your main Sngine installation clean and making the addon easier to maintain alongside future Sngine updates.
Built for Different Community Sizes
Every Sngine community has a different activity level.
A small community may consider 10 comments on a post highly significant, while a larger network may need a much higher threshold.
Trend-Notify lets administrators define the thresholds and scoring values instead of forcing every website to use the same definition of “trending.”
As your community grows, your notification rules can grow with it.
Why Trend-Notify?
Your members are already creating the engagement your website needs.
The problem is that activity does not automatically bring people back.
Trend-Notify creates a bridge between activity and re-engagement.
A post starts getting attention → the author is notified → followers can be notified → members return → the conversation gets another opportunity to grow.
A comment becomes popular → the people connected to that conversation can be notified → they return → more discussion can follow.
A group, event, or page gains traction → its administrator is notified → they can return and engage with their growing community.
The site has accumulated great posts → the digest automatically brings selected content back into users' inboxes.
Turn Activity Into Engagement
Trend-Notify doesn't need to invent new reasons for your members to return.
The reasons are already happening on your website.
Your community creates the activity.
Trend-Notify identifies the moments that matter.
Then it brings those moments to the people who are most likely to care.
