My forum is https://bbb.createmybb4.com
On my Page Manager Events page, I would like to add the capability to e-mail a subset of users when a new event is added. I would only want to e-mail those users that have indicated they want to receive these e-mails (possibly by an additional profile field or a sign-up button on the events page itself). I could shell out to the user's (the user creating the event) own e-mail program (using mailto) but I would prefer it to be a bit more transparent than that and not rely on the user to actually click send on their own e-mail. I would also prefer it if the e-mail came from the board and not from an individual user.
Is it possible to access the board's e-mail system in any way from a Page Manager page? I notice that the board pages that do send e-mails have a hidden page key field so I guess it wouldn't work without this key.
