I wanted to know if there is any way that I can trigger notification to send the mail not only when post get submitted. Also for custom events. Ex. When user login to the account I am creating the custom post which filed data with the data based on cookie generated by user without login and user gets redirect to that post after post gets created, what I want is I wanted to use the notification that already exist in post form I have created. I just want to trigger that notification when my custom code executed.
I have found this function send_notifications but don't know how to get $notificationsToSent variable dynamically based on form id.
We just figured out to achieve this but we facing the issue, the short codes ( [wpv-post-link] other similar to this ) not working with the mail body. It's get replaced with the empty string. Here is the sample code
$faq_form_data = new CRED_Form_Data( 171858, 'cred-form', false );
$manager = new CRED_Notification_Manager_Post;
if ( isset( $faq_form_data->fields['notification']->notifications ) ) {
$manager->send_notifications( $faq_id, 171858, $faq_form_data->fields['notification']->notifications );
}
I can't comment on using the Forms code in this way outside of the public API, but there is one thing I can suggest about the shortcodes in the body of your notification.
The shortcodes don't work with deferred notifications (i.e. notifications that happen some time other than when the form is submitted) as they lose track of which post the shortcode refers to. You need to add the attribute item="%%POST_ID%%" to the shortcodes to anchor them to the correct post.
You could try that, although I can't say if it will work in your particular scenario.
