Email Notification for specific member group

Question

I have never used EE before this project, and I am getting used to it. So far I like it. I have taken the project through completion, yet now I am having a hiccup.

A client wants to have an email notification of a new member, but for specific member groups, they would like it to go to different email addresses.

For example, I have used two different forms from Simple Registration plugin to have two different groups. Vendors and then Supporters.

When supporters register, a notification should go to one email address, where when a vendor registers the client wants it to go to a different email, as these two are handled by two different people.

Also, is there a way to control that email notification? I have custom membership fields, and when someone registers it does not show any of my custom membership fields in the email notification to myself upon new sign up.

Sorry if I am not explaining well enough!

Answer 1

You want to use this free addon:

https://devot-ee.com/add-ons/mx-notify-control

This allows you to create different triggers for notification. You can set one for member registration, and actually pick which member groups trigger that notification. Just make one notification for vendors, and one for supporters. Tada!

Edit

Here is a functioning example from a live application I have in the wild. When a "Records Custodians" member registers, it sends an email (it uses a message template, last field). You would just need two of these rules, one with your Supporters member group selected, one with your Vendor member group selected.

Are you sure your email settings are correct for this ExpressionEngine install? Go this Control Panel spot:

Your site -> CP Home -> Tools -> Communicate

And fire off a test email.

This addon is working on a very important application I've developed. (I redacted the name of the University I work at).
