Send e-mails to custom segments in CampTix Notify

[kovshenin]

One of the features we were asked to develop for CampTix is the ability to e-mail attendees based on custom segments using the Notify section in Tickets - Tools. This will allow organizers to get in touch with very specific groups of peoples, such as those who opted in for vegetarian lunch, or those who selected women's XS t-shirt size.

I pushed the first pass to the notify-segments branch on GitHub: ​https://github.com/Automattic/camptix/tree/notify-segments

It currently supports segmenting only be ticket type (like the original interface) as well as the ticket purchase date. Feel free to give it a spin and let us know if you encounter any bugs or have any questions. We'll be adding other segment fields soon and launch this on WordCamp.org after another round of testing.

Thanks!

I was coming here to suggest this very thing. Our particular use-case was: emailing all of our volunteers or speakers (we usually have about 40 of each), based on the coupon they used. Easier than keeping a separate email list outside of Camptix. I can also see the "email vegetarians" or other options being potentially useful as well. Any chance this can be moved forward? Thanks!

Those should be be possible already. It looks like this was just never updated once the code was deployed.

Closing, since it looks like ​everything has already been merged, but let me know if I'm missing something.
