[UPDATED] New free plugin: Publish To Email - Send emails with post contents to a set of notification addresses

Question

Hi Q2A community,

For those interested, there is a new free plugin called Publish To Email, which allows you to send notification emails to a set of addresses whenever a new post is created.

 

Downloads

[UPDATE 2014-10-14 - v1.1 released]

You can use the links below to download the latest stable version: 

• qa-publish-to-email-1.1.tar.gz
• qa-publish-to-email-1.1.zip

 

Features

• Select which types of posts (questions, answers, comments) have emails sent
• Multiple notification email addresses
• Emails' "From" fields contain original poster, while Sender is the admin email address
• Bcc to notification addresses instead of using To
• Configurable prefix in email subject
• Plain-text or HTML emails
• Customized styles for HTML emails, using deployed themes or custom CSS files
• Include content of other posts in the emails (e.g. answers can include the original question; comments can include their parent and the parent question)
• Limit notifications to categories favorited by the owners of each notification email

This is still a very new plugin, so use with caution, but feel free to open bug/enhancement requests or submit pull requests.

Answer 2

Hi Atavakoli,

First one is a new request: Would you please add email notification for profile update, if a user updates that profile, add something, admin get an email.

Second is a GMAIL problem, anything coming from your plugin gmail is marking them as phising emails.....

I use same email address for my site, when I get an new question email from normal Q2A script I do not get that warning, but when I get a comment or answer notification gmail is markin phising email (I believe you set the email in your script diffrently or something has to be added)

Would you please fix that too

Thanks
