This plugin sends an email notification when a new post, page, or custom post type is published.
<ul>
<li>Targeted Notifications: Set different email recipients (BCC) for each post type.</li>
<li>Simple Interface: Manage recipients easily from the settings page, separated by Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>First Publish Only: Emails are sent only on the first publication, not on subsequent updates.</li>
</ul>
This is perfect for notifying team members or stakeholders when new content goes live.

Auto Publish Drafts is a plugin that will automatically publish drafts every 5 minutes. It will be supported and maintained until at least 2022, or as long as is necessary.
Once activated, it will work silently in the background. There is no other configuration, the auto publish drafts settings screens are enabled or disabled by either enabling or disabling this plugin. I recommend you deactivate this plugin when there are no drafts left.
