<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin is designed to process and store form data locally on your server by default. It only connects to the following third-party external services if explicitly enabled or opted-in by the site administrator:
<ol>
<li>Cloudflare Turnstile API (Optional – Disabled by Default)</li>
</ol>
* Purpose: Used to verify form submissions and distinguish human visitors from automated malicious spam bots. It is only active if the administrator checks the “Enable Cloudflare Turnstile” box in settings and inputs their API keys. 
* Data Transmitted: The user’s browser challenge token and remote IP address are securely sent to Cloudflare to process the validation request. 
* Links: <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Cloudflare Terms of Service</a> | <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Cloudflare Privacy Policy</a>
<ol>
<li>Akismet API (Optional – Disabled by Default)</li>
</ol>
* Purpose: Provides cloud-based behavioral analysis to detect and block malicious form submissions. It is only active if the administrator checks the “Enable Akismet spam protection” box in settings. 
* Data Transmitted: The submitter’s name, email address, IP address, user agent, and form message content are securely sent to the Akismet API (operated by Automattic) to analyze the submission’s spam status. 
* Links: <a href="https://akismet.com/tos/" rel="nofollow ugc">Akismet Terms of Service</a> | <a href="https://automattic.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Akismet Privacy Policy</a>
<ol>
<li>Freemius SDK (Optional – Opt-In upon Activation)</li>
</ol>
* Purpose: Handles optional opt-in developer connection diagnostics, premium software license activation, secure monetization checkouts, and premium version update notifications. 
* Data Transmitted: Only if explicitly opted-in by the administrator during activation, it securely transmits public WordPress environment metrics (WordPress version, active theme, active plugins list) and administrative profile details. For Pro upgrades, it processes secure API license key lookups.

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>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.
