Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, currently there is no notification system to alert users when a requested feature or update becomes available. This means users have to manually check for updates or availability, which can be inefficient and lead to missed updates.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to request a notification feature for Doplarr. When a request is available, the bot should send a notification to the user who made the request. This would ensure users are promptly informed and can take action without needing to continuously check the status manually.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative could be to provide a periodic status update (e.g., daily or weekly) summarizing the availability of requests. However, this approach might still lead to delays compared to a real-time notification system.

Additional context
Implementing this feature would enhance user experience by ensuring timely notifications and reducing the need for users to check manually. It would be helpful if notifications could be sent via a preferred channel, direct messages, or notifications within the same request via an edit.

Overseer has this feature as a webhook, request no longer needed.

I would say this would still make sense as a feature. Especially since not all members may have a discord account and the service is forced to use the doplarr-fallback account on overseerr.

Just like how it @'s a particular user about a request being made, it would be nice to have it @ that same user for when that request is available.
