What It Does

The Post Status Notifications plugin by 99 Robots provides an easy way to notify Administrators when their Contributors submit a post for review.

Additionally, when an administrator publishes the post, the original author will be notified via email that they can see their post live on the site.

These email notifications ensure posts are not waiting for reviewers who otherwise would have to check WordPress admin manually for posts in the pending review status.

This plugin improves communication related to articles submitted for review and subsequently published by administrators.

Features include email notifications to Admin or Editor when a post is submitted for review, notifications to Contributors or all users when a post is published, custom email headers, and support for custom post types.

This is a great plugin for every site that accepts user submitted content, has multiple authors, or site owners running content-heavy websites. Enhance your editorial workflow with proper communication.
