I’m looking for advice on how to most simply approach a problem either through code in my plugin or working with an existing plugin.

I’m trying to expand the functionality of my website (dressjungle.com) to e-mail users when they have an outfit added for them (saved to a database with their associated wordpress ID). I’m also ok with a bulk e-mail going out at a certain time every day for any new updates for users that haven’t received an e-mail for that outfit already (or at the push of a button or some action).

Right now I have WP SMTP plugin set up to use a verified gmail account and it’s working correctly with Contact form 7. I’m not clear on how I would use this setting in a plugin PHP or if wordpress automatically diverts to gmail SMTP if it’s set up through the plugin.

What are your suggestions?
Is there a workaround? Like if there’s a hidden comments area and a user is tagged there’s a plugin that could send an email?
Any already built plugin that sends one specific non-logged-in user an e-mail based on some action?
If there’s not a good alternative, what’s the easiest route to implementation in the plugin – using SendGrid API triggered by a button action or certain action?

Thanks so much for any advice.
