Easiest way to get email notification on front end submission was created by Jason L
I have created a component using component creator where registered users can submit items, before those items can be displayed I need to have a admin approve these in the backend. All of this functionality is working great.
As we can go weeks without a submission, I would like to be able to email an alert to approver when and item has been submitted and or an items is awaiting approval.
I thought about doing this through cron but would like to have something built into Joomla either via plugin or a modification to the component that was created.
Thoughts I can do basic hacking / code modification of a samples

$mail->setSender($sender);
//Can also do something to get admins or email from param if you don't want to hardcode this.
$mailer->addRecipient('johndoe@example.com');
$body = '<h1>Success!</h1> This is the body of your message. You can do things here.';
$mail->setBody($body);
$mail->isHtml(true);
