 * Can I add my own triggers and then use your plugin to deliver the notification
   email.
 * I love what it can do but if I can do this (presumably with my own, unsupported,
   code) it’d be great.

 * Hi [@bobwebb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobwebb/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * It depends what you want to do. Can you tell me a bit more about your use case
   and I should be able to say either way.

 * Apologies I missed your reply, hence the delay.
    Basically what I have is a library
   system and specifically what I’d like to do is run a scheduled bit of code that
   would run through the custom post type looking for books that are over-due for
   return. I can code this and fire a trigger and I’d like that in combination with
   your plugin. So instead of using a standard WP trigger could I use my own so 
   I have total control over when it’s fired? At the moment I can do this using 
   the Updated trigger on my post type but there are other functions that do this.
   I’ve concerned creating a new custom post for each over-due book then, your plugin
   on the creation of those and then deleting the new post but it seems more steps
   than need to be there.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * “I’ve concerned creating” sorry should be “I’ve considered creating”

 * Hi [@bobwebb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobwebb/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * If you updated the value of a custom field then you could use the Custom Fields
   add-on to trigger a Custom Field Value Updated notification to send out a notification.
   
   This is probably the neatest way to do this using BNFW without adding additional
   new post/updated notifications.
