You want to **be notified** when one of your contributors have submitted a new post for revision or an editor published one? Vice versa you want to **notify your contributors** when their posts got published? This is just the beginning of what you can achieve with Post Status Notifier (PSN)! It works with all kind of **custom post types**, supports all **custom taxonomies** like categories and tags other plugins are using. You can grab all these taxonomy values and custom fields attached to a post and use them as **placeholders** in your custom notification texts. PSN has a powerful **conditional template syntax** featuring many filters and functions to get the most out of the placeholders! Define as many notification rules as you need with all kind of settings, like custom** CC**, **BCC** and **FROM** emails addresses. PSN is **extensible**! Build your custom module to implement a new notification service. PSN works great with plugins like **WP Job Manager** ([read more](https://www.ifeelweb.de/2014/666/notify-wp-job-manager-listings-wordpress-plugin-post-status-notifier/)), Calendarize.it ([read more](https://www.ifeelweb.de/2014/748/notify-calendarize-events-wordpress-plugin-post-status-notifier/)),** Crowdfunding by Astoundify** ([read more](https://www.ifeelweb.de/2014/706/notify-payments-crowdfunding-astoundify-post-status-notifier/)) or **Advanced Custom Fields**, just to name a few.
