Community – post notification

[Gordon]

as i understand it when a submission is made via the community events component a notification is sent to the site admin (for approval, etc). can a notification also/instead be sent to the event organizer (as selected from the organizer dropdown)?

we expect to have a team of 200+ “submitters” – each assigned to one of 25 organizers. when these submitters submit an event we want a notification sent only to their assigned organizer. they would select the appropriate organizer from the dropdown when entering the event details in the community event form.

thanks for any help or workaround ideas.

Hi Gordon,

Challenging setup you have there! I’m not sure that the plugin can handle sending out to separate email addresses based on the data being input. That would be some major code-fu I think. But a possible, less daunting, workaround might be to add the organizer to the submission form and then add that to the message that is sent and then filter/forward those messages to the organizers using mail rules or a service such as IFTTT or Zapier. There would still need to be some customization of the plugin required to make that work, but take a look at this page https://theeventscalendar.com/change-required-fields-on-community-event-submission-page/ to get a feel for what that might look like.

Does that make sense? Will this work?
