tribe_events_update_meta Triggers Twice

[Dan]

I’m trying to send a customized email when an event is submitted on the front event via Community Events. I hooked my function onto the tribe_events_update_meta action, but it is firing twice.

add_action(‘tribe_events_update_meta’, ‘pcs_send_confirmation_email’,10,4);
function pcs_send_confirmation_email($event_id, $false=false, $data=false, $event=false){
if($false[“community-event”] == ‘Submit Event’) mail(‘[email protected]’,$event_id,$false);
}

Any thoughts or ideas for other actions to hook onto after the event has been saved? Thanks.

Dan,
Thanks for reaching out. Just to clarify, is this happening when events are submitted on the front-end or the back-end? Or both?

Casey. Definitely the frontend, not sure if it’s happening on the backend. I noticed that the two $false arrays were different though and that the second one held a few more keys (http://pastebin.com/nnUwP2DZ). For the mean time I am doing a quick fix by only targeting the second action based on a conditional for a key in the second array that’s not in the first.

Dan,
Great to hear that you’ve got a workaround. You might also try submitting events from the back-end to see if it still triggers twice or not. Just let me know if you need more help with this. Thanks!
