How can I make magento automatically email invoice/shipment after I create them.
what happens now is that:
1) I a create the invoice/shipment and then
2) I open the invoice/shipment and press send email.
I don't want to do the second step, I want the email to be send once the invoice/shipment created.
you need to look at this magento event sales_order_shipment_save_after.
So in app/code/local/Namespace/Module/etc/config.xml:
... <events> <sales_order_shipment_save_after> <observers> <namespace_module> <type>singleton</type> <class>Namespace_Module_Model_Observer</class> <method>autoEmail</method> </namespace_module> </observers> </sales_order_shipment_save_after> </events> .... and in app/code/local/Namespace/Module/Model/Observer.php:
<?php class Namespace_Module_Model_Observer { public function autoEmail($observer) { $shipment = $observer->getEvent()->getShipment(); $order = $shipment->getOrder(); // your email triggering code here. } } I found the reason, it is a very silly mistake
when I create the invoice/shipment I don't click (Email Copy of invoice/Shipment).
I was thinking this will send a copy of the email to me, but when I tried it out. I found it is for sending a copy to the customer
