The plugin JEvents - Event Notifications and Messages description says:

This is a new Club addon designed to allow you to send notification emails to your site users WHEN NEW EVENTS ARE CREATED or events/repeats are modified and also to send notifications of unpublished events.

We are interested in receiving notifications WHEN NEW EVENTS ARE CREATED. However, that isn't what is happening. Instead, notifications are being sent after the event is PUBLISHED. Do we need to set something in the plugin in order to receive notifications WHEN NEW EVENTS ARE CREATED — in other words, notifications of unpublished events?

Thanks.
Hello,

It states created since this plugin is designed for end users and a created event to them is published since the end user wouldn't want to see an unpublished event notification.

The event administrator should by default receive an email of an event requiring approval. If you have multiple people wanting this email, I would suggest you setup an email distribution list and the site can email the list email and the list can distribute it to the emails.

Many thanks
Tony

Got it.

What would cause the event administrator not to receive an email of an event requiring approval? That is something that is happening.

The email address has been tested and is working fine. Emails from the JEvents application are not going through.

Hello,

Ok so the emails come from the events administrator by default, but if you go to: JEvents -> Configuration -> Event Editing

You can scroll down when in advanced mode and set the default sender etc for emails.

However, the event much require approval to receive these emails, not just of new events in general.

Many thanks
Tony
