Description
This plugin does one simple thing: it sends custom emails when something happens on your site, like when a new post has been published or when an existing post has been moved to the trash.
Features
- 6 events:
- Post Status Change (+ 3 presets) — when the status of a post has changed.
- Post Updated (+1 preset) — when a post has been updated in the database.
- Multiple recipients: Send to multiple recipients, like the post author or the user making the cahnges
- Smart placeholders: Add post or user data in your custom emails (subject and body)
- 6 post values: title, title (raw), content, content (raw), id, url
- 3 user values: public name, email, id
Adding Data to the subject and body
This plugin allows you to add the data for current post and/or user to the email subject and body. To do so, you have to use the format: ((dataType.value | DataID))
For example:
Hello, John Doe! would be written as: Hello, ((user.nameDisplay | PostAuthor))
Here are the available values:
* post title: ((post.title | UpdatedPost))
* post title, unfiltered: ((post.titleRaw | UpdatedPost))
* post content: ((post.content | UpdatedPost))
* post content, unfiltered: ((post.contentRaw | UpdatedPost))
* post id: ((post.id | UpdatedPost))
* post url: ((post.url | UpdatedPost))
* user public name: ((user.nameDisplay | PostAuthor))
* user id: ((user.id | PostAuthor))
* user email: ((user.email | PostAuthor))
