Sending an email notification for a certain event is very common requirement for extension developers and of course it's not that hard.
Using the TYPO3 MailMessage
class you'll be done in a few minutes.
But wait.. the client wants to configure the recipient mail addresses? Don't rack your brain where to put the configuration. Use Noti!
Using noti an extension can trigger an event like "A new user registered", "we received a new product rating", "the daily data import went wrong".
In the TYPO3 backend you can create subscription records for those events.
Right now there are two notification types available:
Let's you configure a list of mail addresses that receive a notification when the event is triggered.
Sends a message to our favorite chat app when the event is triggered.
In your ext_localconf.php
register your event:
\Smichaelsen\Noti\EventRegistry::registerEvent(
(new \Smichaelsen\Noti\Domain\Model\Event('myUniqueEventIdentifier', $_EXTKEY))
->setTitle('New user registered') // LLL reference is possible and recommended here
->addPlaceholder('userName', 'The user name') // This will appear in the backend to show the available placeholders to the user
);
Then in your code trigger the event like this:
EventRegistry::triggerEvent(
'myUniqueEventIdentifier',
[
'userName' => $newUser->getUsername(),
]
);
