New here and tried searching, but not sure exactly what I’m searching for..

My client for this build is a church. They are requesting a prayer forum and would like each new topic – prayer request (created by either a new or existing member) too trigger an email notification to all existing members.

I’m assuming there will be a notification, and approval needed from the forum admin for the new topic, but after approval they’d like the post (new forum topic) to trigger an email notification to be send out to all existing members who hove opted in to receive these notifications.

Is this possible?

Thanks so much!

I am not sure of any plugins, but you could create one.

You could use the post_publish action – https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/publish_post

And then check the post type using https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_singular and then the email after grabbing the contents of the topic that was just posted.

Good luck! 🙂
