== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does Email Users work with "insert your favorite groups or user management plugin here"? =

Email Users currently supports integration with three (3) groups / user management plugins:

1. [User Groups](http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-groups/)
1. [User Access Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-access-manager/)
1. [ItThinx Groups](http://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/)

If any of these plugins are enabled you see additional group recipients to choose on the Notify and Send to Groups page (assuming there are users in those groups who received mass email and/or notifications).

= Will you add integration with "insert your favorite groups or user management plugin here"? =

Maybe.  If the plugin stores its information as user meta data, you can probably use the Custom Meta Filter functionality to create your own integration.  Other plugins will be considered on a case by case basis and adding integrations tends to be a very low priority.

= My hosting provider limits the number of emails that can be sent.  Does Email Users support this? =

No.  Email Users does not have any "queueing" capability nor is it planned.  Email Users utilizes WordPress' [wp_mail()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail) API for sending email.  It is technically possible to develop a plugin that hooks into wp_mail() using [wp_cron()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_cron) that would implement queueing but that is beyond the scope of Email Users.

= How do I know my users are receiving email? =

Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure.  Email Users has a "debug" mode which will allow you to see the composition of the email headers.  Examining this data will allow you to confirm the expected addresses are indeed in the headers.  What happens to the actual email once it is sent using wp_mail() is out of Email Users control and there is no way using WordPress to verify the email was sent and received.

== Filters and Actions ==

Email Users supports a number of filters and actions.
1.  Action:  mailusers_before_wp_mail - called before wp_mail is called.
1.  Action:  mailusers_after_wp_mail - called after wp_mail is called.
1.  Filter:  mailusers_manipulate_headers - called before wp_mail is called.

This example shows how the mailusers_manipulate_headers filter can be used to change the headers to be compatible with [wpMandrill](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/).  This code could/would be placed in your [functions.php](http://codex.wordpress.org/Functions_File_Explained) file.

`
/**
 * wpMandrill needs the recipients in the TO header instead
 * of the BCC header which Email Users uses by default.  This
 * filter will move all of the recipients from the BCC header
 * into the TO header and clean up any formatting and then nuke
 * the BCC header.
 *
 */
function mailusers_mandrill_headers($to, $headers, $bcc)
{
    //  Copy the BCC headers to the TO header without the "Bcc:" prefix
    $to = preg_replace('/^Bcc:\s+/', '', $bcc) ;

    //  Empty out the BCC header
    $bcc = array() ;

    return array($to, $headers, $bcc) ;
}

add_filter('mailusers_manipulate_headers', 'mailusers_mandrill_headers', 10, 3) ;
`
== Custom Filter Usage ==

Email Users provides the ability to send email to a very specific set of users using a custom meta filter.  To create a special mail list, you will need to add something similar to the following to your theme's functions.php file or create a separate plugin file.

The mailusers_register_user_custom_meta_filter() and mailusers_register_group_custom_meta_filter() actions each take 3-4 parameters:
1.  Label - text that will appear on the WordPress Email-Users menu (users) or in the Recipient List (groups).
1.  Meta Key - the meta key to search for in the user meta table.
1.  Meta Value - the value to match against in the user meta table.
1.  Meta Compare - optional, defaults to '='.  The type of comparison to be performed.

This example will filter the user list to only those users where the first name is Alex.
`
add_action( 'mailusers_user_custom_meta_filter', 'first_name_alex', 5 );

function first_name_alex()
{
    mailusers_register_user_custom_meta_filter('First Name: Alex', 'first_name', 'Alex');
}
`

Regular SQL comparisons (=, !=, etc.) can be performed.  Wildcard matches (LIKE, NOT LIKE) are not supported due to how the WordPress get_users() API currently handles LIKE comparison.  A better solution is to use the REGEXP/NOT REGEXP constructs added in WordPress 3.7.  Regular Expressions allow you to select groups of users based on matching meta values like first or last name or ranges within them.

`
add_action( 'mailusers_user_custom_meta_filter', 'first_names_starting_with_anything_but_d', 5 );

function first_names_starting_with_anything_but_d()
{
    mailusers_register_user_custom_meta_filter('First Name: Not D', 'first_name', '^D', 'NOT REGEXP');
}

add_action( 'mailusers_user_custom_meta_filter', 'last_names_starting_with_m', 5 );

function last_names_starting_with_m()
{
    mailusers_register_user_custom_meta_filter('Last Name: M', 'last_name', '^M', 'REGEXP');
}

add_action( 'mailusers_user_custom_meta_filter', 'last_names_starting_with_s_through_z', 5 );

function last_names_starting_with_s_through_z()
{
    mailusers_register_user_custom_meta_filter('Last Name: Z', 'last_name', '^[S-Z]', 'REGEXP');
}`

In addition to filtering on User Meta data to build a custom list of users, you can now define custom groups based on User Meta data.

`
add_action( 'mailusers_group_custom_meta_filter', 'send_to_fire_department', 5 );

function send_to_fire_department()
{
    mailusers_register_group_custom_meta_filter('Fire Department', 'department', 'fire');
}


add_action( 'mailusers_group_custom_meta_filter', 'send_to_police_department', 5 );

function send_to_police_department()
{
    mailusers_register_group_custom_meta_filter('Police Department', 'department', 'police');
}
`

In addition to defining specific Meta Key and Value pairs, Email Users also supports a filter to generate the Meta Group filters based on a Meta Key.  The Meta Key filter supports two optional arguments - a Meta Value and a function callback to generate the label.  Neither is required.  When the label callback is used, it receives two arguments, both strings, the Meta Key and Meta Value.  It must return a string.

`
//  Define action to send to blog followers
add_action( 'mailusers_group_custom_meta_key_filter', 'send_to_my_blog_followers', 5 );

function send_to_my_blog_followers()
{
    mailusers_register_group_custom_meta_key_filter('blog_follower');
}

function send_to_departments_label($mk, $mv)
{
    return(ucwords($mk) . ' = ' . ucwords($mv)) ;
}

//  Define action to send to departments using custom callback to generate the label
add_action( 'mailusers_group_custom_meta_key_filter', 'send_to_departments', 5 );

function send_to_departments()
{
    mailusers_register_group_custom_meta_key_filter('department', null, 'send_to_departments_label');
}

function send_to_departments_label($mk, $mv)
{
    return(ucwords($mk) . ' = ' . ucwords($mv)) ;
}
`

New in v4.5.0 is an action, *mailusers_update_custom_meta_filters*, which can be used to dynamically update Meta Filters before they're used for recipient selection or email address retrieval.  The example below leverages the Meta Key *Department* and its various values to define and update a new Meta Key called *publicworks*.  Anytime a Group Email is sent or Post/Page notification is initiated, this action will fire and rebuild the *publicworks* meta key based on the values of the *department* meta key.  This sort of action could be used to create more complex meta value relationships or to integrate other plugins.

`
add_action( 'mailusers_group_custom_meta_filter', 'send_to_public_works', 5 );

function send_to_public_works()
{
    mailusers_register_group_custom_meta_filter('Public Works', 'publicworks', true);
}

add_action( 'mailusers_update_custom_meta_filters', 'update_publicworks_meta_filter', 5 );

function update_publicworks_meta_filter()
{
    $pw_mk = 'publicworks' ;
    $dept_mk = 'department' ;

    //  Define the valid matches - the array keys match user
    //  meta keys and the array values match the user meta values.
    //
    //  The array could contain a mixed set of meta keys and values
    //  in order to group users based on an arbitrary collection of
    //  user meta data.

    $publicworks = array(
        array($dept_mk => 'fire'),
        array($dept_mk => 'police'),
        array($dept_mk => 'water and sewer'),
        array($dept_mk => 'parks and recreation'),
    ) ;

    //  Remove all instances of the Public Works meta key
    //  to account for employees no longer with Public Works
	$uq = new WP_User_Query(array('meta_key' => $pw_mk)) ;

    foreach ($uq->get_results() as $u)
        delete_user_meta($u->ID, $pw_mk) ;

    //  Loop through the departs and select Users accordingly
    foreach  ($publicworks as $pw)
    {
    	$uq = new WP_User_Query(array('meta_key' => $dept_mk, 'meta_value' => $pw[$dept_mk])) ;

        //  Loop through the users in the department and tag them as Public Works employees
        foreach ($uq->get_results() as $u)
            update_user_meta($u->ID, $pw_mk, true) ;
    }
}
