sending email notification to user when article is published

I have one custom field on user object like "Notify me of releases" which data type is checkbox . When user select "Notify me of releases" checkbox checked  user will get notification for every update of  article whose type is alert. 
Note:- I have created one article type alert.

Hi Praveen,

You can create a public group for your article type. Whenever a user selects the check box you can add that user to the group using trigger.

Create a WF on the Article type and select the wf action as email alert and you can select the public group you have created.

Thanks

Thanks Prakashb for your quick response. Can you please send the trigger code. I am new in development.

Actually creating a public group and add users to that group won't work. Public groups won't allow Customer Community Login users to be added to it.

This limitation is described here:

Is there any other option to alert users when an article is published?
