How to set list alert using JavaScript in SharePoint 2010?

Question

I need to set a list alert for current (logged in) user using JavaScript.

Code:

    var currentcontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var currentweb = currentcontext.get_web();
    currentcontext.load(currentweb);
    var currentuser = currentweb.get_currentUser();
    var list = currentweb.get_lists().getByTitle("List Name");

I am getting the current user and list using this code, but I do not know how to set alert for this user on this list

see below snapshot

I want to set alert same like which mention in snapshot using JavaScript. Is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

I did something like this for a client. My solution was made a web service. By this web service I was able to make an AJAX call and create an Alert code behind.

Answer 2

There is no built in way via the SharePoint JavaScript Object Model according to my research.

Likely you will have to build your JavaScript to work with the SharePoint 2010 Alerts Web Service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/websvcalerts(v=office.14).aspx using JQuery or whatever framework calls from JavaScript on your page.
