    Hi,

    I have a quick question…

    What is the hook of a order processing email, before it is sent to
    a customer? I need to delay that email so I can get data from other sources.

    Thanks!

    Hey!

    No actually I want to make sure the email is delayed/deffered.
    Because, I need to collect pending data from an external source, that isn’t
    available until about a minut or so…

    Hi there,

    Programmatically, this involves modifying the hook to:

    1. store the order information in a table
    2. not send the email

    and adding a custom cron job to pick up the information in table (1) above at a later time and include the external source information to then send the email.

    I highly recommend getting a developer to look at the above for you.

    Hi, thank you!

    We managed to fix this in another way, integrating
    it into a plugin handling the external data source.

    Thanks!
