I suppose that is possbile to implement but you must use some 3rd party library to connect to email server.

Thanks for the reply v-viig. I think we have to set the data refresh frequency in subscriptions to once every hour or once a day. Will it be possible to do something which can send an alert for data changes in real-time? Also, if I create a custom visual can I get real-time data changes by just opening the report and not refreshing it again and again?
