Can users follow other users?

Hi everyone,

Can users follow other users?

Followers can be added using Workflows or BPMNs (you need EspoCRM version 7.5.0 or higher and Advanced Pack extension):

1. Create a field with Multi-Enum type in the User entity and add the list of required Users and Teams to it (screenshot 1).
2. In the entity or entities (eg Account) where it will be necessary to add Specified Users or several Users of Specified Teams, create a field with Multi-Enum type in the Options Reference of which select the field from point 1 (screenshot 2).
3. Create Worflow for User A (screenshot 3).
4. Create Worflow for Team A (screenshot 4).

The disadvantages of this method are:
- Users cannot be unfollowed (only they can unfollow themselves).
- Followers can only be added regardless of the value in the Fallow User or Team field in entity Account (screenshot 5).
- It is necessary to create a separate Workflow or an additional Flowchart for BPMN for each User or Team.
