[Closed] Send e-mail notifications with post relation form

Hi,

On this site, we use 2 custom post types: ships and harbours. The owner of a ship (who has the custom user role "shipper") can create 1 ship and can make reservations with harbours.

So I created a relation between ships and harbours, with 2 custom fields: arrival date and departure date. Then, I made a post relation form as a reservation form. So far, so good.

However, the owner of the harbour and the shipper should get an automated e-mail notification about that new relation / reservation, and there doesn't seem to be an e-mail option for relationship forms like there is with post forms. Am I missing something, or is there another way to do this?

Alternatively, I could use Fluent Forms Pro to make a reservation, but I would need to capture the permalink to the current logged-in user's post. Is that possible?

Hi there,

The email notification is not integrated with the relation form and only post and user forms.

Would you please follow the workaround that my colleague mentioned here:

See if it will help you overcome the issue.

Thank you.
