Description

I would like to ask whether it is currently possible, or planned, to send emails to participants filtered by a specific status (for example: Approved, Pending, etc.).

We recently tested the email feature from the competition interface expecting that selecting a given status would restrict the recipients accordingly. However, in our tests, the message was sent to all participants, regardless of their status.

This functionality would be very helpful for competition organizers, especially when managing approvals, pending registrations, or targeted announcements that should not be sent to all teams.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the competition email flow and how participant submission or registration statuses are selected. Done means emails reach only participants matching the selected status, while existing unrestricted sending continues to work.
