EE3 R+P - send email to site admin when new event has been created - very basic, doesn't exclude admin etc.

custom_functions.php

<?php
// this is a very basic example and should be used as a basis rather than as is.
// It is not supported by Event Espresso nor will it likely be updated.

function myemailthing($_REQUEST) {
		//var_dump($_REQUEST);
		//wp_die( );

		$admin_email = get_option( 'admin_email' );

		$user = get_user_by( 'id', $_REQUEST['user']);

		$subject = 'New event added';

		$message = 'A new event called ' . $_REQUEST['event'] . ' has been created by ' . $user->first_name;

wp_mail( $admin_email, $subject, $message );
