Being notified on content waiting approval?

Posted by SimonVlc on August 3, 2007 at 2:45pm

Hi there,

I run a site when I have moderated events. The idea is that a user type can create events, but these are not published until an admin reviews them.

Can any option in drupal send the admin an email when a new event has been created but not published?

Thanks in advance, Simon.

Hello it's definitely doable, if a bit fiddly to get your head around initially. Take a look at the Workflow module and read up on the inbuilt Actions module too.

A Workflow lets you define different states a node can go through. You can attach Actions which occur when a node enters one of these states.

If you also install the "Action email role" module too, you fire off an email to all the people with a certain role e.g. an editor role, which will let you notify a certain group of people when say a story is awaiting editorial approval.
