In WooCommerce, I have a script that I am running when my webshop get a new order. This script sends an SMS to me but I would like to send it to the customer as well.
The script is running using a custom function script, just before the Order-received page with information about the order.
How do I get automatic information from the order about the name and phone number the user used?
Reading this: How to get WooCommerce order details post, does not help me, I can get the information I need and the order page fails when I try...
my code today is like this:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wc_custom_redirect_after_purchase' );
function wc_custom_redirect_after_purchase() {
global $wp;
if ( is_checkout() && ! empty( $wp->query_vars['order-received'] ) ) {
// Query args
$query21 = http_build_query(array(
'token' => 'My-Token',
'sender' => 'medexit',
'message' => 'NEW ORDER',
'recipients.0.msisdn' => 4511111111,
));
// Send it
$result21 = file_get_contents('https://gatewayapi.com/rest/mtsms?' . $query21);
// exit;
}
}
What do I need is to get the firstname included in the message.
I would like something like:
$firstname = $order_billing_first_name = $order_data['billing']['first_name'];
$phone = $order_billing_phone = $order_data['billing']['phone'];
But nothing seems to works for me.
Instead you could try to use a custom function hooked in woocommerce_thankyou
action hook:
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'wc_custom_sending_sms_after_purchase', 20, 1 );
function wc_custom_sending_sms_after_purchase( $order_id ) {
if ( ! $order_id ) return;
// Avoid SMS to be sent twice
$sms_new_order_sent = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_sms_new_order_sent', true );
if( 'yes' == $sms_new_order_sent ) return;
// Get the user complete name and billing phone
$user_complete_name = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_billing_first_name', true ) . ' ';
$user_complete_name .= get_post_meta( $order_id, '_billing_last_name', true );
$user_phone = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_billing_phone', true );
// 1st Query args (to the admin)
$query1 = http_build_query( array(
'token' => 'My-Token',
'sender' => 'medexit',
'message' => 'NEW ORDER',
'recipients.0.msisdn' => 4511111111
) );
// 2nd Query args (to the customer)
$query2 = http_build_query( array(
'token' => 'My-Token',
'sender' => 'medexit',
'message' => "Hello $user_complete_name. This is your new order confirmation",
'recipients.0.msisdn' => intval($user_phone)
) );
// Send both SMS
file_get_contents('https://gatewayapi.com/rest/mtsms?' . $query1);
file_get_contents('https://gatewayapi.com/rest/mtsms?' . $query2);
// Update (avoiding SMS to be sent twice)
update_post_meta( $order_id, '_sms_new_order_sent', 'yes' );
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
