  • Confirm PostHog receives the subscribed_newsletter event.

Events Flow

  • Open /events and confirm event groups render.

  • Confirm the event appears on /events (no manual revalidation needed).
  • Confirm the submitter approval email arrives with the city-filtered event link.
  • Submit another test event, then reject it with a reason.
  • Confirm the rejection email arrives with the reason included.

Publishing And Revalidation
