# gc_follow

> Follow a View

Subscribe the authenticated user to a View — a rulemaking document, policy topic, agency, organization, legislator, bill, or committee — to monitor its future activity by email digest. Cadence: daily (default), weekly, or instant (paid). Idempotent: following again updates the cadence. Use ids from gc_search (items with followable: true).

## Input

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| targetRequired | object | The View to follow — anything gc_search marks followable: true. |
| cadence | daily \| weekly \| instant | Default daily. |

## Examples

### Follow a View

Idempotent subscribe; the result echoes the stored subscription straight from the write.

```
{
  "target": {
    "type": "topic",
    "id": "air-quality"
  }
}
```

```
{
  "following": true,
  "target": {
    "type": "topic",
    "id": "air-quality",
    "title": "Air Quality"
  },
  "cadence": "daily",
  "created": true
}
```
