Thanks for this useful plugin !
Completely useless.

Lousy. I am an admin and I needed it to receive notifications when someone leaves a “pending post”, but instead he sends me horrible emails with very long links when I publish the note that was pending. In other words, it informs me about what I did. Completely useless.
Works as stated, plus they updated it per my request

<!– wp:paragraph –>
<p class=””>Since I cannot create another review, I can only edit this one negatively. This plugin was great, however, I cannot get it to work with the Block editor. I turned off the two-step publishing process, but it still won’t go out. No-one has answered either of my support requests, https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-block-editor-2/ or https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-block-editor-emails-not-sent/. It seems the support is severely lacking. Can’t wait any longer. Going to change to another method.</p>

I have to say I have Easy WP SMTP installed and all emails from my WordPress are sent via a googlemail account. But I am sure it should work also with usual network mail.
