I see a potential confusion for the end users with this feature. The idea behind “Send Notification on Publish” is exactly that, to send the notification when the post is published, so the question is: should you maybe want to publish the post in a scheduled date?
We intend to not add as many different options that could make the plugin complex and confusing. We rather prefer to make it simple yet useful and powerful. If you need a more advanced behaviour you can maybe extend the plugin via its hooks/filters described here: https://github.com/perfectyorg/perfecty-push-wp#external-integrations-
However we’re open minded and would like to hear more opinions from the end users.
Option is already there: Send Notification -> Schedule notification.
If I hit UPDATE, on any post, while option ‘Send notification on publish’ is checked, notification is also sent. Which is perfect.
But if have schedule notification inside post edit tab, that would be even ‘perfecter’ 🙂 I would only need to set scheduling time for notification, instead of manually populating every field in ‘Schedule notification’ tab.
Scheduling time could be another ‘widget’ which could be turned on/off in screen options, and moved around separately from original ‘Perfectly Push’ widget, if you think there would be any confusion. Confused people could turn it off, or remove it from their sight.
Hooks/filters are for advanced users (which I am not), not for creators knowing bare minimum about wordpress, just enough to keep their website online. 🙂
Basically, this plugin is perfect. Everything works top/notch. I had 0 issues.
This is everything that I need, a small addon option, to make my life a bit easier.
Please? 🙂
It would be very useful to be able to program notifications from the same post without the need to complete fields, in many cases notifications are not sent at the same time that we publish the news.
Ok, I see that there’s a kind of consensus in this and would love to implement it, however it might take some time because of lack of resources.
We created a ticket: https://github.com/perfectyorg/perfecty-push-wp/issues/166
Thank you!
