By default new post notification & opt-out on profile page

Hi @ftopwp,

thanks for the question.

All of that is possible with Notification plugin but your case is pretty specific so it will be needed to write some code. There’s a developer documentation which can help you with that.

If you are not familiar with coding we can write that for you.

Oh I’m thinking, it would be possible to add the checkbox in the user profile with Profile Builder plugin and set up the notifications using Conditionals and Custom Fields extensions.

But the unsubscribe link will need to be handled via custom code.

Ok. Thanks for your quick answer!

Just a comment: why is it specific? This is the default behavior nearly everywhere.
Ok, sometimes you specifically opt-in on the registration form (I can also go for that), but then it’s standard to have a notification for new posts and a way to opt-out on your profile page.

Sorry, I just saw your second answer now.

In fact, if a plug-in can’t do everything, I can do the opt-in on the registration form and opt-out on the profile page very easily with Ultimate Member and their custom fields.

Now is just missing a plugin that can send new post notifications via email using this checkbox value to add or remove users from the emailing list.

Yeah, but it’s quite specific for this plugin. Because it’s too elastic with all the notifications it cannot cover everything.

If you are looking only for that solution then there might be another plugin which does only that. I mean notifies the user about a new post with the opt-out option.

If you already using the Ultimate Member you can get this working with Conditionals and Custom Fields extensions.

If can define a condition to send the notification ie. to all Subscribers for whom the custom field “_enable_post_notification” equals to “1”. And voila! ??

But still the specific opt-out link will be a custom job. But you can say in the email “Go to your profile to disable this Notification” and link this to profile edit page.

Exaclty. No need for any special link.
Just a comment plus a link to their WordPress profile is enough.

I’m not sure to understand.
Can we set such condition with “Notification – Custom Notifications and Alerts” to trigger the sending of new post notifications?

Sorry, I should be more specific.

With free Notification plugin, you can send the new post notifications to specific users or user roles.

To limit that only to users that have the checkbox marked, you’ll need the two paid extensions. I can offer you a cheaper bundle if you like!

Ok.
So it means Conditionals can not use Ultimate Member custom fields? (because indeed, I already use Ultimate Member)

It will use them
The Notification : Custom Fields extension allows you to pull this custom field value to your Notification as a merge tag, ie. {usermeta {user_ID} _custom_field_name}. It’s not adding any fields to the user profile.
