Admin does not receive email notification after review is submitted

[condorito.fr]

Hello again

As you can see I am testing the app thoroughly before releasing it, sorry for harassing you.

As stated in the title : I (as admin) don’t get notified by email when a new review is posted.
Yes, the red dot is there in the back office, showing that a comment awaits to be moderated :

as set up in the reviews section of HivePress > Settings :

But I don’t get the email.

Just in case, I also checked my Settings > discussion section :

I should also mention I get notifications from new listings, new requests, new registrations though.

To follow up :

So far I am using fake accounts (and fake emails) to test out the website.

They do receive notifications regarding their reviews (to and from) :

I, as admin, don’t.

Hi,

Yes, there are no such emails for admins yet, as the review emails were released in the latest version, but we plan to add them in future updates. As a workaround, we can provide you with PHP snippets to add such an email. Let me know if this works for you.

Hello @andrii

Of course I am interested in a workaround.

Cheers,

Please try using the hivepress/v1/models/review/create hook Action: hivepress/v1/models/{model_name}/{action_type} | HivePress Hook Reference If you add a callback function to this hook you can then send an email to the site admin email address using wp_mail() – Function | Developer.WordPress.org The admin email address can be fetched via get_option('admin_email')

Hope this helps

Hello @ihor,

Tried this :

add_action('hivepress/v1/models/review/create', function($email){
  	wp_mail(get_option('admin_email'), 'A review needs to be approved', $email->get_body());
	}
);

No luck.

Please check if the function is called at all using error_log, you can also check the PHP error logs - this hook passes the $review_id instead of $email so there may be a PHP error when $email->get_body() is called.

Updated snippet works :

add_action('hivepress/v1/models/review/create', function($email){
	error_log($email);
  	wp_mail(get_option('admin_email'), 'A review needs to be approved', 'blank content');
	}
);

Actually I don’t need to know the content of the review, as it needs to be moderated. All I wished was to be notified, as for other entities (new user registration, request, listings…).

And yes, the error_log just returns a number, matching the review ID.

Kudos @ihor !
