Email Nofitication based on roles

Hi guys,

I’m using the code here:
http://editflow.org/extend/auto-subscribe-user-groups-for-notifications/

But I’d like to auto subscribe users based on the WordPress role (example: all the authors).
Is it possible?

I tried this code with no luck:
```
if ( 'pending' == $new_status ) {
	$usergroup_ids_to_follow = get_users( array( 'role'=>'editor', 'fields' => 'ID' ) );
        $edit_flow->notifications->follow_post_usergroups( $post->ID, $usergroup_ids_to_follow, true );
    }
```
Thanks

Hrm, not sure what’s going on.

I created the following plugin you can find at this gist: https://gist.github.com/cojennin/45ac4c91d6319f8f51060a5320d28f86

I installed, then tried the following steps:
1. As an Admin user, I assigned a user to the “Reporters” usergroup
2. I logged in as the user I assigned to the “Reporters” usergroup and created a post
3. I saved the post with status “Pitch”
4. I set the post’s status to “Pending Review” and then saved the post again
5. The “Reporters” usergroup was automatically subscribed to the post after I clicked save
Are those the same steps you took?

Hi Cojennin,

When you talk about usergroup, are you referring to WordPress user roles, or to the Edit Flow Groups feature?

Our use case is this:
We have 4 WordPress users with Author role.

When a user (any user) set a post to ‘pending review’, we’d like the 4 authors to get a notification.

Thanks

Ah, gotcha.

Edited the gist: https://gist.github.com/cojennin/45ac4c91d6319f8f51060a5320d28f86

That should subscribe all users with the WordPress role of ‘editor’ to the post being saved as pending. Want to give it a test?

Misunderstood what you were trying to do. You were close with your code snippet, just need to use save_post_following_users instead of follow_post_usergroups since you want to follow WordPress roles.
