Description
This plugin sends an email notification when a new post, page, or custom post type is published.
- Targeted Notifications: Set different email recipients (BCC) for each post type.
- Simple Interface: Manage recipients easily from the settings page, separated by Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types.
- Smart Sending: Notifications are only sent when BCC recipients are configured for that post type. The site administrator’s email is used as the «To» address.
- First Publish Only: Emails are sent only on the first publication, not on subsequent updates.
This is perfect for notifying team members or stakeholders when new content goes live.

FAQ
-
Do I need a separate SMTP plugin?
-
It’s not required, but highly recommended. For reliable email delivery, using an SMTP plugin like «WP Mail SMTP» and configuring SPF/DKIM records is the best practice.
-
Who receives the email?
-
The «To» address is the site’s admin email. The email addresses you configure on the settings page are added as «BCC». If no BCC addresses are set for a post type, no email will be sent.
