# Featured Post Notification

 * Hi,
 * We use a custom post type for video posts. The clients choose the category for
   their post front end when posting. We also have a hidden “Featured post” category
   that we manually enable in admin as an extra category if we really like their
   post.
 * I am wanting to create a message that will be sent to the author to tell them
   that their video has been featured if we edit the post and add that one category.
   Obviously I don’t want the email to be sent if we just edit a post it has to 
   be that exact action.
 * Is this possible and can you help with how I might set that up?
 * Thanks
    Gary

 * Hi [@2001web](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2001web/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * Yes, you can do that using the [Conditional Notifications add-on](https://betternotificationsforwp.com/downloads/conditional-notifications/)
   and the Post Updated notification.
 * Hope this helps.
