The keywords to search under are “rss” and “feed.” This is a format intended for computers to read and learn about updates to a website. There are feeds for main and discussion. I don’t know any particular tools, but there are certainly ways of turning an rss update into an email or a text message. There are probably apps for your phone that make an alert when they notice something new in the feed, too. The inbox has a feed, too, but that link only works if you are logged in, which may be difficult to do in the feed reader.
Is there an easy way to make my phone alert me when there is a new discussion or main post? What about a new response to my comments?
I haven’t used it, but I think If This Then That might be helpful. It’s a way to link triggers (like an RSS feed) with other actions (like a text).
