Scheduler Notifications

Scheduler Notifications extends the Scheduler module to send email notifications before content is scheduled for publication.

Use it to remind content authors or other recipients that scheduled content will be published soon.

Features

• Send notifications before scheduled publication.
• Configure the notification offset in minutes, hours, or days.
• Create multiple notification rules.
• Enable notifications for specific content types.
• Send notifications to the content author or fixed email addresses.
• Customize the email subject and body.
• Use tokens in email messages.
• Uses Drupal's Queue API to process notifications.
• Prevents duplicate notifications.
• Handles changes to scheduled publication dates.

Example use cases:

• Notify an author 24 hours before their content is published.
• Notify an editorial email address about upcoming publications.
• Send multiple reminders, such as 7 days and 1 day before publication.

Post-Installation

After enabling the module:

1. Make sure Scheduler is enabled and configured for the required content types.
2. Create a Scheduler notification configuration.
3. Select the content types where the notification applies.
4. Configure how long before publication the notification should be sent.
5. Select the recipient.
6. Configure the email subject and body.

Notifications are discovered and processed by Drupal cron, so cron must run regularly.

Scheduler continues to manage the publication date. This module only handles notifications related to that date.

Additional Requirements

• Scheduler
• Drupal cron must be configured and running.

The module uses Drupal's standard mail system for sending emails.

Recommended modules/libraries

No additional modules are required.

A mail delivery module can be used if the site needs SMTP or another external email service.

Modules that provide additional tokens can also be used to add more information to notification messages.

Similar projects

Other Drupal modules provide email notifications and editorial workflow functionality.

Scheduler Notifications focuses specifically on notifications related to dates managed by Scheduler. It does not provide its own content scheduling functionality.
