<p>I'm at Sprout Email 4.4.9 and wondering if the plugin is built to send email when entry gets disabled status on event <strong>&quot;When an entry is saved&quot;</strong> under send rule <code>{not entry.enabled ? true}</code></p>

I'm at Sprout Email 4.4.9 and wondering if the plugin is built to send email when entry gets disabled status on event **"When an entry is saved"** under send rule `{not entry.enabled ? true}`

Currently, you would need to create a [Custom Notification Event](https://sprout.barrelstrengthdesign.com/docs/email/custom-notification-events.html) to address this scenario.

Right now the default Entry Save event is hardcoded to match the "Live" Entry Element Status, so it wouldn't be possible to match a disabled status and have the event validate.

The Element Save behavior has been a bit of a moving target from Craft 3.2 through Craft 3.7.5. I've [commented here](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/38169/115) if you want more historic context. I do plan to revisit this event and try to give more control over scenarios like you describe but I can't promise any timelines at the moment.
