Here’s a quick snippet for sending an email when a new post is published. It also works for CPT (Custom Post Types).
add_action('future_to_publish', 'send_emails_on_new_event');
add_action('new_to_publish', 'send_emails_on_new_event');
add_action('draft_to_publish' ,'send_emails_on_new_event');
add_action('auto-draft_to_publish' ,'send_emails_on_new_event');
/**
* Send emails on event publication
*
* @param WP_Post $post
*/
function send_emails_on_new_event($post)
{
$emails = "email_1@mail.com, email_2@mail.com"; //If you want to send to site administrator, use $emails = get_option('admin_email');
$title = wp_strip_all_tags(get_the_title($post->ID));
$url = get_permalink($post->ID);
$message = "Link to post: \n{$url}";
wp_mail($emails, "New post published: {$title}", $message);
}
This will result in an email like this:
[Title] New post published: Your Post
Link to post:
http://site.com/your-post/
If you need to do this for a specific post type only you can have a conditional inside the filter function:
...
if(get_post_type($post->ID) === 'page') //post, page, attachment or whatever other CPT you may have
{
//use wp_mail() here!
}
...
