    This is probably the best plugin I have seen for customizing Woocommerce emails, and I have been through a number of them lately.

    What I need to do here is if it is Prdouct-X use the default email otherwise the email created by Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer. Is there a way not to send the custom email generated with Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer depending on product or product category?

    I know I need to modify the Woocommerce email templates by getting the order_id and product category from order_items. I have looked at a couple plugins that allow selection of email by product but no way to change the header and content generated by Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer.

  • Hey,
    Thanks for posting. This plugin only edits the default emails it’s not separate. So there is no way to use this plugin and send emails that are “default” and these emails separately from that because they are one and the same, just the default woocommerce emails. With this plugin, you can edit those default emails a little easier.

    Because it’s not creating new email templates or new email logic there is no way to send emails differently based on what the customer orders.

    The only ways I currently know how you could do that is to either use a plugin like this: https://automatewoo.com/

    Or interlink your email with mailchimp or sendinblue and then create automated emails that send when specific products get purchased. The downside with both options is that you would need to recreate the order fields box that woocommerce creates with the product, price shipping etc. I haven’t looked into that enough to know if either has a good fill in for that.

    It’s an interesting idea to have a plugin that can do what you want but it would be out of the scope of this plugin because it would need to create new logic for emails which I think would be closer to what automatewoo does and might be your best bet.

    Thanks for the input.

    I was able to get it mostly by using your hooks from the plugin and creating my own custom fields in the Woocommerce Email settings page.

    The only one I had real difficulty with was the “kadence_woomail_designer_email_details” action hook. Couldn’t get it not display the content added by it. I ended up adding your customer-completed-order template to the theme’s woocommerce/emails/ directory and adding a conditional to it.

    It is an interesting idea, and I was suprised when approached by my client that there wasn’t something out there already.

    All good, job is done client is happy
    Thanks

    marking this as resolved
