Notifier

First-class Notifications for Craft 4 and 5

---

It can best be explained with the following formula:

When an [EVENT] occurs,
send a [MESSAGE]
to designated [RECIPIENTS].

Notifier currently supports 11 event types and 15 message types. Combine them however you'd like, for example...

• Email admins about pending users
• Send welcome email to new users
• Post to Slack when an order is placed
• Text customers when products are added
• Tweet when a new blog post goes live
• Daily summary of site activity
• Alert if critical update is available

Highly Flexible Notifications System

In addition to the core EVENT / MESSAGE / RECIPIENTS architecture, Notifier is an extremely flexible tool for delivering the right message, to the right person, at the right moment. You can monitor individual fields, write custom messages in Twig, dynamically determine the target of a message, and see a complete log record of what's been sent out.

Field-Level Conditions

Detect changes to specified fields, and only send a notification when those fields have changed (or match a specific value).

Write Messages in Twig

Compose every message with normal Twig, including a set of special variables available at runtime. Each message renders through a configurable Twig sandbox.

Personalize the message

Hi {{ recipient.firstName }}, the entry "{{ entry.title }}" was just updated.

Show what changed

The title changed from "{{ original.title }}" to "{{ entry.title }}".

Dynamic Recipients

When the recipient depends on the triggering event, Dynamic Recipients allows you to pass the target into the {% setRecipients %} tag. For example, to message the author of a published entry:

{% setRecipients entry.author %}

Notification Log

Every outgoing message is logged, giving you a clear view of how each one was handled. Keep the log size in check with the logRetentionDays and logRetentionRecords settings.
