## Description

PostNotify is a WordPress plugin that automatically sends a notification email whenever
a new post is published. The possibilities are endless: notify a press office, a
client, a collaborator, the post’s author, a friend, or anyone you want to let know
that new content is online — without having to do it by hand every time.

This is the **Free** version:

 * 📧 Automatic email on publish
 * 🔐 SMTP support with secure password encryption
 * ⚡ Built-in SMTP configuration test
 * 🔒 Advanced security and input validation
 * One recipient per post
 * Standard email subject and text (not customizable)
 * PostNotify logo in the email header
 * Localized in English (en_US, en_GB) in addition to Italian

Looking for multiple recipients, a customizable logo, your own email text, and more
languages? Check out **[PostNotify Pro](https://www.postnotify.it)**.

#### Template Variables (used in the standard text)

 * [titolo_articolo] – Post title
 * [link_articolo] – Direct link to the post
 * [link_homepage] – Link to the homepage
