Triggering new post email for previously published posts

    Hello! Thanks so much for such a great plugin. It’s exactly what I need.

    How can I have a “new post” email sent when re-publishing a post?

    Here is the problem: During testing, I had several posts published. But now that I am live, I have rescheduled those posts for the future. But when those scheduled posts go live, your plugin somehow recognizes that they have already been emailed before.

    Is there a way I can purge the record of what has been published so these re-publshed posts will trigger a new email?

    I have even tried duplicating the posts and changing the titles but that doesn’t work either. My only option seems to be creating new posts.

    Also, in the future (in like a year or so) I plan on rescheduling posts and hope to have them re-emailed out.

    It makes sense that the plugin wouldn’t re-send every time a post gets changed.

    Just wanted to add that I have taken a look at the database tables and can’t find anything that would indicate what has been sent or not.

    If the solution to this issue involves editing the tables (at my own risk) I’m happy to do that.

    Hello there,

    We are really sorry for the delay in our response.

    To avoid duplicate post notifications on republishing the post, the plugin first checks if previously a post notification has been sent or not. The plugin stores past sent history in the ig_es_is_post_notified flag.

    Deleting the flag ‘ig_es_is_post_notified‘ from the post should allow sending of post notifications in this case. You can refer to this screen recording on how to do it in Gutenberg. Also this screen recording might be helpful in deleting the flag in case if you are using classic editor.

    After deleting the flag and republishing the post, the email notifications should be sent without any issue.

    Hope this helps you. Let us know if you have any further queries.

    Thank you.
