Send automatic Email to the Customer by Order depending on the week days in WooCommerce

1 comment

1. (updated) – First you need to find the current day of the week using php function date() this way:

   $today= date('L');
   

   Then we need to define the days for first email action and for 2nd email action storing this days in an array:

   $days1 = array( 'monday', 'tuesday', 'Wednesday' );
   $days2 = array( 'thursday', 'friday', 'saturday' ); 
   

   Now we need to compare the current day $today with $days1 and **$days**2 to make an action:

   if ( in_array( $today, $days1 ) ) {
       // do something
   } else if {
       // do something else
   } else {
       exit; // do nothing
   }
   

   Now, for example, we can use the hook of this answer to your question combining the previous with it, this way:

   add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'order_completed' )
   function order_completed( $order_id ) {
       $today= date('L');
       $days1 = array( 'monday', 'tuesday', 'Wednesday' );
       $days2 = array( 'thursday', 'friday', 'saturday' ); 
       $user_email = $current_user->user_email;
       $to = sanitize_email( $user_email );
       $headers = 'From: Your Name <your@email.com>' . "rn";
       if ( in_array( $today, $days1 ) ) {
           wp_mail($to, 'subject', 'This is custom email 1', $headers );
       } elseif ( in_array( $today, $days2 ) ) {
           wp_mail($to, 'subject', 'This is custom email 2', $headers );
       } else {
           exit; // do nothing
       }
   }
   

   You can use on of this hooks too depending on your needs, and you can even combine them together:

   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_pending', 'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_failed',  'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_on-hold', 'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_processing', 'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_refunded', 'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_cancelled', 'my_custom_action');
   add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'my_custom_action' ); // Using this one
   add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'my_custom_action' ); // this could be convenient too
   function my_custom_function($order_id) {
       // your code goes here
   }
   

   NOTE: All this code goes on function.php file of your active child theme or theme
