Friend Request Alert

Dearest Forumotion creators,
Please create an alert that will give us notice of a friends request on our forums.
There is a HUGE part of my forum that is not being used to it's fullest potential, if we had an alert similar to the inbox alerts, it would be fantastic!
If you guys can't create one to go on every forum, can you at least advise how I could create one for my members? I have over 3500 members, and some are only now finding that they have friends requests from a year ago!
There are so many positives to having an alert for this underused tool, so many I can't list them. So please can you tell me how I can have an alert?
I know you guys are busy, and have a huge list of priorities, so thanks for reading!
