I have set DB automatisms to Table in the builder's config tab.
Then, I use the native joomla mail function in the administrator/components/name_of_my_component/tables/name_of_table.php
At the end of this file, here's my code
// Init mail send
$mail =& JFactory::getMailer();
$config =& JFactory::getConfig();
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->addRecipient('mail@mail.com');
$body = "Here is my text";
$mailSubject = "This is my subject"
$mail->setBody($body);
$mail->setSubject($mailSubject);
$mail->Encoding = 'base64';

if ($mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mail sent successfully.";
  $app = JFactory::getApplication();
  $app->enqueueMessage('Mail sent');
} else {
  echo "An error occurred.  Mail was not sent.";
}

@VeCrea Thanks for the share!

I'm not 100% sure whether or not it would make any difference but, I would tend to do exactly the same but create a private function in the model, called from the controller that runs whenever the the save returns true (1).

Any thoughts on how best to approach this welcome fellow cooks!

Thanks again VeCrea,

Gez

Could it be a question of where DB Automatisms are placed ? In my example, option is set as Table, and not Model. Not sure about that you know, just my 2 cents

1. It sends an email each time you save
2. No. (what's a model to you, just to be sure?)

Yes of course it is possible.

Place your code in the controller after the save() execution.
Check if the item is new and call the JMailer.

I am working to find the best way to send mails with a template view from Cook, but this is still in dev.

For the moment, use the Joomla native functions to do it.

First, to catch your datas, you must be able to know that when your develop with cook. It is fundamental stuff.
Look in the view files, there is a lot of model calls there.

Instance the model with the correct id of your item. then get the datas.

About JMail, follows the documentation :
api.joomla.org/Joomla-Platform/Mail/JMail.html

I prefer not to give you a ready to paste solution because :
- I answer fast and by memory
- It is more satisfaction to find by ourself
- You learn it, and you can then teach afterwards, or anser to the others.

Most of the time it is not good to copy/paste, because it is only to explain a concept and can be missing the security part, and/or create collateral issues.

Always better to dig by yourself, you will be able to reproduce more and more when the concept is understood.
I am not saying this particulary to you.
Always good to remember, that we are here to share our secrets and also to sustain each other in the learning process.

I recently asked for help too, on this forum.
