Trigger Email After File Upload

My client has a group directory that is updated quarterly. I have used ACF Options to give them a simple place to upload that file (and then I can pull that link for the dashboard, etc.)

Client has now requested that all users receive an email when the file is uploaded.

I assume that I just hook into acf/save_post, but ..
– How do I test what triggered this (only send emails when that particular field updates)?

Hi @Kracke

You can use a filter called acf/update_value (please read the docs to learn more) to hook into a value being updated.

You can use this to fire the email function only when your file fields is updated.

Thanks
