Is there a way to trigger a confirmation email when someone follows a custom object?

Question

I'm trying to trigger a confirmation email to a user that follows a custom object. Is this possible?

I found this, which says that triggering on EntitySubscription is not possible: https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/184684/how-to-write-a-trigger-for-entitysubscription-object

I'm trying to mirror the functionality that SFDC provides for their known issues: https://success.salesforce.com/issues. They have a "This issue affects me" checkbox, which will send you a confirmation email of your subscription to the known issue. In my case, we have a "known issue" custom object, and users are able to "follow" them, but I can't figure out how to trigger the confirmation email to them.

Trigger you can't do it. It knows issue. But what you can do it, you can write scheduler apex job to run every few minutes and sends an email.
