How to Override Content of Default WP Notifications?

    I’m trying to figure out how the plugin works. I mostly want to override default WordPress notification emails with my own content. For example “password reset request” and “password changed” notifications.

    Should I just create new ones using these triggers? Will they override the default ones or do I first need to disable the default ones in the Settings > Integration?

    Also, how to set up those notifications where every user receives notifications about their own actions or author about their posts, who should I use in the recipient field?

    Hi, you should create new notifications and disbale the WordPress default ones in Settings -> Integration.

    To send notification to user who initiated the action, ie. user who wrote the article, simply use the Email / Merge Tag recipient and use the corrrect merge tag from the sidebar, like {post_author_email}.

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you, I’ll try that. Is there a way to send out test emails just to check how the notifications are working?

    Yes, simly select your email as the email recipient or better, use the debugging option from the plugin settings (with notification suppressing option) where you’ll be able to see all the outgoing notifications.

    I wasn’t asking that. I want to be able to send a test email to specified recipients without triggering the notification.

    For example, for me to test whether a new user registration notification works I need to create a new user in order to trigger it. It would be far better to be able to check the notification without triggering it.

    Oh I see. Unfortunately, that’s not possible. It’s very difficult to set the proper context for the trigger to fire, so we don’t have that one click test function just yet.
