Notifications with Customer Area Plugin

    Hi!

    I’m currently using a plugin called Customer Area to create private pages for users to log in and view on a site.

    The problem is that this plugin does not send notifications every time the page is updated, so I thought I would try your plugin. The Customer Area plugin does use a CPT so I was able to add this to your notifications to trigger when these pages are updated, but my problem is where the email is sent!

    The pages are always updated by the same user (admin or editor), but each page can be “owned” by another user that is assigned, and it’s to this user we want the notifications sent.

    The plugin has a lot of filters and hooks that include the “post-owner”, but this is beyond my coding skills.

    Is this something possible to implement? We understand that there may be a fee.

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi Alex,

    it seems like you are going to need the Custom Fields add-on.

    According to the docs, you should be able to use something like this: {postmeta {custom_post_type_ID} page_owner_meta_key|user:user_email}

    Is this the plugin? https://gitlab.com/wp-customerarea/plugins/customer-area

    Hi Kuba,

    Thank you for your reply – yes, I think that would have worked, but in the end I purchased a plugin for the actual wp Customer area plugin (called notifications), and that managed to give us the functionality we needed.

    However, I have other projects that your plugin would be very useful for, and having looked at your custom fields add-on I am sure we will use this in the future!

    Thanks, Alex

    Great, Alex! That indeed might be a better idea to use their notification extension as you don’t have to integrate anything really ??

    Let me know if you’ll have more questions
