warehouse alert email

[ryanstowasser]

Warehouses have email addresses that are editable through the administration. How do I set up an order email alert to be sent when an order is placed that ships through a specific warehouse?

The keywords in the email template are customer and vendor, but could I add $warehouse.email ?

bump.

I'm still looking for a way to send emails to the relavent warehouse when an order is placed.

Thanks.

If the warehouse id is arbitrary or external, you can get hold of the email this way:

Code: Select all

#set ($foo = YourWarehouseIdValue + 0 )
$store.Warehouses.get_item($store.Warehouses.IndexOf($foo)).Email

If you have a shipment object available, use:

Code: Select all

$shipment.Warehouse.Email

Hmm. Might have misread your intent. You could inject some code into the "CheckedOut" method of OnePageCheckout.ascx.cs. You'd load the order, iterate each shipment (where you can read the warehouse email) and send mail. Able's email templating is available in CommerceBuilder.Messaging:

Code: Select all

    EmailTemplate message = new EmailTemplate();
    message.Load(messageId);
    message.AddToAddress(email);
    message.Parameters["templateparameter"] = value;
    message.Send();

In this example, "$templateparameter" in the email template would evaluate to the assignment above.

Hi, I am running AbleCommerce 7.0.2 build 11659 and I don't see a way to notify a warehouse via e-mail that an order has been placed. Other than using the code shown in the forum post, shouldn't there be a way to configure this in the admin tool?
