Trigger notifications for new drafts

[keithmancuso]

The problem (description, use case, screenshots...)

We are using drafts a lot on a client site to allow new changes submitted on the front end to be approved and published in the back end.

The solution (that feature you'd like to see)

We'd love to be able to trigger notifications to admins when new drafts are published.

Alternatives you've considered

We are looking at webhooks to connect to a zap to trigger a notification but clearly thats a lot messier so would love to know if this is possible to add to sprout email

@keithmancuso I've marked this as a feature request as it would be nice to support natively when I have a chance.

For the time being, this should be possible if you create a Custom Notification Event:
https://sprout.barrelstrengthdesign.com/docs/email/custom-notification-events.html

You can see the plugin itself for some examples:

Base Notification Event Class:
