    Is it possible to uses another “user” list to send notification from, other than the User list in a WP setup? We want to set up notifications so they come from a separate list that we generate once and hour. Using the WP user list presents numerous problems

    Hi @blctech,
    Thanks for your message.

    You can use the Send to Any Email add-on to send to non-WordPress users.

    Does this help?

    Hi

    Thanks

    Not send to other users, but use another file to store and send notifications to instead of using the WP user (subscriber list). Reason: we recreate the DB every hour

    Is this possible?

    Hope you had a good vacation!!

    Thanks

    Hi @blctech,
    If they’re assigned the same user role each time then you can use a user role instead of individual users. That way, when you wipe the site and a new user registers, you can still trigger the notification to that user role.

    Does this help?

    Hi

    We have a list of 500 members. That list is generated every hour by first emptying the list and going through our large member list and selecting users that met a certain criteria and rebuild the list (a sql WP list). We want to use only that list to send to when a post is published or a post is republished. We do not use the WP user list for membership as our membership list are all held in our invoicing and billing program

    The WP user list has only three names in it (administrators who publish). If we use that WP user list to add the 500 users to, I believe it would become a pain to try and delete all the users every hour because of the 3 administrators in it. That’s why we use a separate list. That’s why I asked if your plug in allows us to use a seperate list other than the WP user list.

    If we assign the newly added users to the WP user list using a certain role, could they be deleted easily with a SQL call and not cause WP a problem? Then I guess we could use the WP user list?

    Hi @blctech,
    I don’t see any issues with that, no. You could use a script that’s run by a cron in your hosting account or use WP-CLI to help automate this too.

    Providing that the users are user accounts within WordPress, BNFW shoulnd’t have any issues working with it.
