Alert Pipeline
Alert Pipeline is a free add-in for SharePoint which expands its alert capabilities. The description of the add-in are as follows:
The Alert Pipeline is the combination of a software tool and development methodology, which allows developers to create custom code that runs every time an alert fires. This allows you to introduce custom alert modalities besides just the standard email that SharePoint sends out when an alert occurs. For example, you could write custom code that sends an alert as a text message, an instant messaging alert, a tool to archive all alerts that get fired, and/or something else. It’s called an Alert Pipeline because your code gets injected into the process of firing the standard SharePoint alert email. You get access to all of the information about the item and event that triggered the alert and can use that in your custom code. The Alert Pipeline uses a registration process so that you can add as many custom alert handlers as needed for your scenario.

[...] If I can get myself some free time, I could write and develop such an add-in in for a little over a week, maybe less. Anyways, there is also a free Alert add-in you can check out; it is called Alert Pipeline. [...]
