# Change draft behaviour?

 * Hello,
 * I use your plugin to notify the admin when a contributor finishes a blog post
   and wants to publish it. The admin then gets an email and has to review it first
   before publishing it.
 * So I selected your trigger “Post sent for review”. Unfortunately the admin gets
   an email each time somebody saves a draft (so if somebody saves a draft and resumes
   later or saves a draft three times, the admin gets each time a mail notification,
   though the post is not ready yet to be published.).
 * So am I missing something or how can I change that behaviour so that the admin
   ONLY receives a notification mail when the contributor finished his article?
 * Thanks,
    Daniel

 * Hi Daniel,
 * it’s not really possible to do, because there’s no way to tell which draft is
   the last one. That’s why you are getting a notification each time user saves 
   the pending post.
 * You could get an email only once when the post is saved for the first time, but
   it would require saving the value in post meta.
 * I could write that snippet for you but it would require to [purchase the support](https://bracketspace.com/downloads/support/)
   as it’s a custom feature.

 * Hey Kuba,
 * To be honest: I only want this simple function: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-change-status-notifier/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-change-status-notifier/)(
   This is the plugin I previously used and which worked fine.)
 * I think that some other people might find this function very useful. So is there
   an easy way to implement it to your plugin which ensures future updates / maintenance
   as well?
 * Thanks,
    Daniel

 * I see. You know what, you’re right, I think it will be worth to be implemented
   in the core plugin 🙂
 * I’ll need a few days to add it and I’ll be releasing.
