The Post Status Notifications plugin by 99 Robots provides an easy way to notify Administrators when their Contributors submit a post for review.
Additionally, when an administrator publishes the post, the original author will be notified via email that they can see their post live on the site.
These email notifications ensure posts are not waiting for reviewers who otherwise would have to check WordPress admin manually for posts in the pending review status.
<h4>Features</h4>
Get a better editorial workflow by improving communication related to articles submitted for review and subsequently published by administrators.
