Send notification email when changing in backend

[drechtsteden-ict]

Can a Notification message also being automatically triggered once a hidden field is changed to the value as decribed in the notification email setting?

I have a registration form that is being saved as Not approved, but when someone in the WordPress admin changes this field a notification email needs to be send. For now this can only be done manually.
Is there a way that this can be done automatically?

Hello,

Just had this issue myself. Are you able to send the code and or process to do this here?

Hi,

Thanks for the update. This worked, however, it only worked for 1 configured option. I am choosing a radio option with the following:

Approve
Reject
Waitlist

Below is my code. Am I supposed to duplicate the code 3x (one for each class ie: Approve, Reject, Waitlist)


<?php

/*
* Plugin Name: Quform Approval Automation
* Description: Send auto notifications when marking applications as Approve, Reject or Waitlist
* Version: 1.0
*/

// Paste in your custom code below

##APPROVAL EMAIL

add_filter('quform_entry_post_set_entry_id_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form) {
// Look up old field value
global $wpdb;
$elementId = '1_78';
$notificationId = '1_3';

list(, $eid) = explode('_', $elementId);

$value = $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT value
FROM {$wpdb->prefix}quform_entry_data
WHERE entry_id = %d
AND element_id = %d",
$form->getEntryId(),
$eid
)
);

if ($value != $form->getValue("quform_$elementId")) {
// Value has changed, send notification
foreach ($form->getNotifications() as $notification) {
if ($notification->getIdentifier() == $notificationId) {
$notification->send();
}
}
}

return $result;
}, 10, 2);

##REJECTED EMAIL

add_filter('quform_entry_post_set_entry_id_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form) {
// Look up old field value
global $wpdb;
$elementId = '1_78';
$notificationId = '1_4';

list(, $eid) = explode('_', $elementId);

$value = $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT value
FROM {$wpdb->prefix}quform_entry_data
WHERE entry_id = %d
AND element_id = %d",
$form->getEntryId(),
$eid
)
);

if ($value != $form->getValue("quform_$elementId")) {
// Value has changed, send notification
foreach ($form->getNotifications() as $notification) {
if ($notification->getIdentifier() == $notificationId) {
$notification->send();
}
}
}

return $result;
}, 10, 2);

##WAITLIST EMAIL

add_filter('quform_entry_post_set_entry_id_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form) {
// Look up old field value
global $wpdb;
$elementId = '1_78';
$notificationId = '1_5';

list(, $eid) = explode('_', $elementId);

$value = $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT value
FROM {$wpdb->prefix}quform_entry_data
WHERE entry_id = %d
AND element_id = %d",
$form->getEntryId(),
$eid
)
);

if ($value != $form->getValue("quform_$elementId")) {
// Value has changed, send notification
foreach ($form->getNotifications() as $notification) {
if ($notification->getIdentifier() == $notificationId) {
$notification->send();
}
}
}

return $result;
}, 10, 2);

Resolved the issue for anyone who needs help. Here is the modified code:

<?php

/*
* Plugin Name: Quform Approval Automation
* Description: Send auto notifications when marking applications as Approve, Reject or Waitlist
* Version: 1.0
*/

// Paste in your custom code below

add_filter(‘quform_entry_post_set_entry_id_1’, function (array $result, Quform_Form $form) {
// Look up old field value
global $wpdb;
$elementId = ‘1_78’;

list(, $eid) = explode(‘_’, $elementId);

$oldValue = $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
“SELECT value
FROM {$wpdb->prefix}quform_entry_data
WHERE entry_id = %d
AND element_id = %d”,
$form->getEntryId(),
$eid
)
);

$newValue = $form->getValue(“quform_$elementId”);

if ($oldValue !== $newValue) {
// Value has changed, determine which notification to send
$notificationId = ”;
switch ($newValue) {
case ‘Approved’:
$notificationId = ‘1_3’; // Replace ‘1_3’ with the ID for the Approved notification
break;
case ‘Reject’:
$notificationId = ‘1_4’; // Replace ‘1_4’ with the ID for the Reject notification
break;
case ‘Waitlist’:
$notificationId = ‘1_5’; // Replace ‘1_5’ with the ID for the Waitlist notification
break;
// Add more cases as needed for additional options
}

if ($notificationId) {
// Send notification if a valid notification ID is found
foreach ($form->getNotifications() as $notification) {
if ($notification->getIdentifier() === $notificationId) {
$notification->send();
break; // Stop iterating once notification is sent
}
}
}
}

return $result;
}, 10, 2);

This code did work. However, when trying to modify coding to work with different variables and situations, its not working.

For example, id like to do the following:

Radio Buttons (each is linked with a specific email template)
Approved
Rejected
Waitlisted

Radio Button
Server
Bartender
Cashier

When the user submits for Server, I want them to receive a specific notification email for approved, rejected, waitlisted

When the user submits for Bartender, I want them to receive a specific notification email for approved, rejected, waitlisted

So basically

Server – Approved – Specific email contents for approval
Bartender – Approved – Specific email contents for approval

How can I do this? I think you guys should definitely make this a feature in the software instead of coding for each form. This is a powerful feature that allows managing custom communication for different situations.
