When an entry changes from Pending to Live

Sends a notification the moment an entry's status changes from Pending to Live.

A future-dated entry stays at the Pending status until its Post Date arrives. Craft computes that transition on the fly and fires no event for it, so Notifier polls for it instead.

This trigger is functionally equivalent to a "When a scheduled date is reached" notification set to On Post Date.

Set up Scheduled Sending

Before this trigger will fire, you will need to run the schedule on a recurring basis.

Twig variables

The object variable (and its entry alias) is the Entry that just went live.

"{{ entry.title }}" is now live.

Examples

Automatically post a new entry to Bluesky

New in {{ entry.section.name }}: {{ entry.title }}

{{ entry.url }}

Announce a new post to a Slack channel

New on the blog: "{{ entry.title }}" - {{ entry.url }}

Tell the author their scheduled entry has published

Hi {{ entry.author.firstName }},

"{{ entry.title }}" just went live in {{ entry.section.name }}. View it: {{ entry.url }}
