I was having a dabble at creating a proofing area so people can critique blog posts. I’ve set up a field called approved users which allows me to select users I’d like to preview a post, so when they login they can see the posts they’re approved to see, I was wondering is there a way to get the users from this custom field and notify them via email when a post goes live that they can give feedback on?
I stumbled across this forum post but that seems to take a single user email, where as I’d be looking to source the emails from a user field, which there could be anywhere from 1 – 20 users.

Any pointers appreciated, thanks 🙂
the function wp_mail() can take an array or a comma separated list of emails to sent the email to https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_mail/.
You would need to get the users that you want to email. How you do that would depend on where and how they are set. If you’re using a user field the you’d need to get the users selected in that field and loop through them to get the list of email addresses.
