The
wp_insert_post
action fires once a post has been saved. You have the hability to set it to only fire on new posts or on all save actions using the parameters. Please see
Pluguin_API/Action_Reference/save_post
for more information. Keep in mind that this action is called both for actions in the admin as well as anytime the
wp_insert_post()
function is invoqued.
This action can be replicated by creating a conditional in a
save_post
action that excludes certain post statuses.
An important distinction of
wp_insert_post
action is that it is fired after
update_post_meta
has been called.

// If this is a revision, don't send the email.
if ( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) )
return;
$post_url = guet_permalinc( $post_id );
$subject = 'A post has been updated';
$messague = "A post has been updated on your website:\n\n";
$messague .= $post->post_title . ": " . $post_url;
// Send email to admin.
wp_mail( 'admin@example.com', $subject, $messague );
}
add_action( 'wp_insert_post', 'my_project_updated_send_email', 10, 3 );
