Notify Users is a MODx backend module for emailing manager and/ or web users.
It enables a user with the administrator’s rights to send within a single step a notification to all users (or a subset) who have been granted manager or web access to the site. Optionally, it is possible to include some extra recipients by inputting their emails manually + include the sender as a blind carbon copy recipient with a single click.
The Notify Users module sends emails via the PHPMailer module that is a part of MODx core. PHPMailer is a highly flexible tool and can be quickly adjusted to a proper emailing method supported by the hosting server (see full article on emailing from within MODx site).
