Current User (who triggers the Event)

Sends the message to only the User who triggered the event.

This is the only recipient type that's eligible for Flash Messages, since flashes can only be displayed to the actively logged-in user.

When no current user exists

No message will be sent if the event is triggered anonymously (for example, via command line).

Compatibility with message types

Available for all message types.

Examples

Show a downstream effect with a flash message

"{{ entry.title }}" published. The team will be notified shortly.

Email the user a copy of what they just did

Hi {{ currentUser.firstName }},

You just updated "{{ entry.title }}" at {{ now|date('g:i a') }}.

If this wasn't you, please contact an administrator.

Skip when the current user is an admin

{% if currentUser.admin %}
    {% skipMessage "Admins don't need confirmation messages." %}
{% endif %}
