  Hi,
  
  You can use shortcodes in email template, so to add customer name and email, you can use [wcj_order_checkout_field] shortcode (http://booster.io/shortcodes/wcj_order_checkout_field/), something like this:
  [wcj_order_checkout_field field_id="billing_first_name" before="Billing First Name: "]
  [wcj_order_checkout_field field_id="billing_last_name" before="Billing Last Name: "]
  [wcj_order_checkout_field field_id="billing_email" before="Billing Email: "]
  
  Please let me know if you have any questions.
  
  Best regards,
  Tom

Hi,
I read already your advice how to use custom field to Kent, but it is not working for mail subject.
I’d like to include [wcj_order_checkout_field field_id="billing_first_name"] in the mail subject but unfortunately this shortcode is not processed.

  Hi Artem,
  
  I’ve just made changes to the plugin, so shortcodes should now work in custom email subject. Please download the development version here – http://booster.io/dev/. You will need to uninstall the old version first (don’t worry your saved settings won’t disappear). Please let me know if it works correctly now.

Hello there,
I would like to suggest a feature.
I want to use an email template with title Awaiting Payment.
In the body I need a shortcode equivalent to:
get_checkout_payment_url() ) . ‘”>’ . __( ‘pay’, ‘woocommerce’ ) . ‘
so that I can include the Customer payment page url that appears in the order details for an unpaid order.
This “Pay” url is also in the default customer-invoice.php email template, but it would be great if we could have a shortcode for this.

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Nikolas

I have the PDF Invoicing & Packing Slips module plus the Emails & Misc modules turned on in your plugin. Is it possible to send a custom email (using the email module) with the pdf invoice attached (created by the pdf module)?

  Hi Marcelo,
  
  Yes, after you enable and configure this “Emails” module, just go to “WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > PDF Invoicing & Packing Slips > Email Options” and custom emails will be automatically added to “Attach PDF to emails” option. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
  
  Best regards,

So nice, but I really need a timer feature for email.

So e.g. I can sent a custom email 10 days after the customer has completed order.

Best

  I’m looking exactly for this. I would like to add the original woocommerce order table to my custom emails so they fit better.

Hi,

I would like to add an attachment to a custom email, via another wordpress plugin I have developped.
Have you an hook or another way to do that ? (your pdf & packing slips can attach a pdf, so there should be a way…)

thanks 😉
Best Regards,
Christophe GUHRING

Hi Christophe,

I didn’t test it, but it should work – there is woocommerce_email_attachments hook in WooCommerce, so please try:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_attachments', 'add_my_attachment', 10, 3 );

if ( ! function_exists( 'add_my_attachment' ) ) {

/**

* add_my_attachment.

function add_my_attachment( $attachments, $email_id, $_object ) {

if ( 'wcj_custom_1' == $email_id ) {

$attachments[] = 'file_name_to_attach';

}

return $attachments;

}

Booster’s custom emails have $email_id like wcj_custom_1, wcj_custom_2 etc. And of course you need to replace file_name_to_attach with an actual file name.

Hope that helps, and please let us know if that worked.

P.S. If you like Booster, please leave us a rating.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi,

I havent seen your answer but you confirm what I have found : Since I worked already with that hook to attach my file to the original “new order mail”, I’ve printed_r in a file the email-id and I have understood the format of the email id (the mail I’ve tested was the second custom email and the result was “wcj_custom_2” 🙂 so the first should be 1…. test… ok 🙂 file attached !

Thanks.
Best regards

Hi again,

Last problem : I need to add an order note to the mail. (order notes like the ones that are at the right of the order screen in woocommerce. We can add a note that is send to the customer via the order notes email… physically they are stored in the “wp_comments” table
This is NOT the customer note set at the checkout by the customer. (althought in the original woocmmerce template, these notes are called customer notes… all these naming changes are really headache-aware !)

But I need to add the lastest note to a custom email. I set this note via REST API (/order/#id/notes). I’ve tryed to add a note as order meta (as we have a booster shortcode for the order meta) but the meta is not updated by my API call…

Have you an advice ?
Best regards

How can I add the vendor name and telephone into the custom email?

  Hi Fabio,
  
  It will depend on what plugin you are using for vendors. You will have to find out what meta key the plugin is using and you will be able to access it using [wcj_order_meta meta_key="" ] shortcode (https://booster.io/shortcodes/wcj_order_meta/).

How can I retrieve a custom field in the order in a custom email? Thank you

Reply to thread
- RokasJ November 1, 2018 at 12:08 pm #
  
  Hi Fabio,
  
  You can retrieve custom field data using [wcj_order_meta meta_key="" ]. shortcode. Make sure to add your custom field key to meta_key, for example [wcj_order_meta meta_key="_billing_wcj_checkout_field_1" ]..

Hi, im trying to create an e-mail to notify the customer, if any notes are added to the order by admin or shop-controller. But the trigger “Customernote created” is not working for notes created in the admin-note-feed. What is that trigger for and is there any trigger for the email i would like to create? My notes are set as “customer_notes” category. If i send the e-mail manually, my html works out perfectly. I use [wcj_order_notes type="customer_notes"] for it.
Greets, Moritz

Hello,

Is there the ability to send a custom email based on a specified product in the order?

If it is there and I just missed it, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is it possible to change the recipient to customer shipping e-mailaddress? If i add %customer% the e-mail is sent to the billing e-mail.

Thanks!

Greets,

Rick

  Hi Rick,
  
  Is shipping email address a custom field of yours? There is no such field by default.

  Not a separate one, but it’s currently sending the mail to billing address when i use %customer% and not the main e-mailadres.
  
  Cheers,
  
  Rick

  Hi Rick,
  
  Unfortunately it’s not currently possible to change it to send to shipping email but I still don’t understand where this field is coming from (3rd party plugins etc). Without modifications, WooCommerce allows customers to only enter email once on checkout (under billing details) and there is no such field under shipping data.
