WordPress sends emails you can’t customize. You can’t change who receives them, what they say, or how they look. And if you need to notify your team about content changes, user activity, or security events — WordPress simply doesn’t do that.
Notification fixes this. It gives you complete control over what WordPress sends, to whom, and through which channel. Replace rigid default emails with fully customizable messages, or create entirely new notifications triggered by any WordPress event. No coding required — set up your first notification in under 5 minutes.

<h4>WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE FREE VERSION</h4>
<ul>
<li>Replace default WordPress emails — Disable any built-in email (new user, password reset, comments, etc.) and replace it with your own version using the built-in Wizard</li>
<li>Create custom notifications — Get notified when posts are published, users register, comments arrive, plugins update, and 50+ other WordPress events</li>
<li>Use dynamic content — Insert Merge Tags like <code>{post_title}</code>, <code>{user_email}</code>, or <code>{comment_content}</code> to personalize every message</li>
<li>Send to anyone — Route notifications to specific email addresses, users, or entire roles</li>
<li>Send via email or webhook — Email is built-in; webhooks let you connect to any external service or automation tool</li>
<li>Control with precision — Enable or disable individual triggers, configure carriers, and set up multiple notifications per event</li>
</ul>
<h4>REPLACE DEFAULT WORDPRESS EMAILS</h4>
The built-in Wizard walks you through disabling WordPress default emails and replacing them with your own. You keep full control over the content, recipients, and formatting — no more generic messages you can’t edit.
<h4>BUILT-IN TRIGGERS</h4>
Over 50 triggers are ready to use out of the box. Enable or disable them in Settings.
<ul>
<li>Posts & Custom Post Types — published, drafted, updated, pending review, approved, trashed (works with any CPT)</li>
<li>Taxonomy terms — created, updated, deleted (works with any taxonomy)</li>
<li>Comments, Pingbacks & Trackbacks — new, replied, approved, unapproved, spam, trashed</li>
<li>Users — registered, profile updated, logged in, failed login, logged out, password reset/changed, deleted</li>
<li>Media — added, updated, deleted</li>
<li>Plugins — activated, deactivated, installed, removed, updated</li>
<li>Themes — installed, switched, updated</li>
<li>WordPress — available updates (on a schedule you define)</li>
<li>Privacy — personal data erased, erase request, exported, export request</li>
</ul>
Each trigger comes with its own set of Merge Tags, plus you can use Global Merge Tags (<code>{site_title}</code>, <code>{admin_email}</code>, <code>{home_url}</code>, etc.) anywhere.

This is a great plugin and well worth every star they get. 



It has a lot of features straight out of the box and will cover a LOT of use-cases, however the Pro plugins that are available take it even further.



This was exactly the solution we were looking for 👍 Highly recommend.

<h4>Notify every WordPress post change!</h4>
You want to be notified when one of your contributors have submitted a new post for revision or an editor published one? Vice versa you want to notify your contributors when their posts got published? 
This is just the beginning of what you can achieve with Post Status Notifier (PSN)!
It works with all kind of custom post types, supports all custom taxonomies like categories and tags other plugins are using. You can grab all these taxonomy values and custom fields attached to a post and use them as placeholders in your custom notification texts. PSN has a powerful conditional template syntax featuring many filters and functions to get the most out of the placeholders!
Define as many notification rules as you need with all kind of settings, like custom CC, BCC and FROM emails addresses. PSN is extensible! Build your custom module to implement a new notification service.
PSN works great with plugins like WP Job Manager (<a href="https://www.ifeelweb.de/2014/666/notify-wp-job-manager-listings-wordpress-plugin-post-status-notifier/" rel="nofollow ugc">read more</a>), Calendarize.it (<a href="https://www.ifeelweb.de/2014/748/notify-calendarize-events-wordpress-plugin-post-status-notifier/" rel="nofollow ugc">read more</a>), Crowdfunding by Astoundify (<a href="https://www.ifeelweb.de/2014/706/notify-payments-crowdfunding-astoundify-post-status-notifier/" rel="nofollow ugc">read more</a>) or Advanced Custom Fields, just to name a few.
