Is it possible to send different confirmation mails depending on event category

[Christian Zumbrunnen]

We actually only have two different courses at the moment and offer theme regularly, always at the same venue.
Depending on which one a client registers to, I want to send a complete different email.

In both cases there is something like “thank you for registering to the course %event_title% on %event_date% at %event_starttime%
The course will be held at %event_venue% bla bla….

And then comes a totally different block depending on the course category

Is is possible to accomplish this, maybe with including a dynamically called text or a custom field or something.

There’s no UI for this, but it is possible to change the booking confirmation e-mail dynamically:

add_filter( 'eventorganiser_booking_confirmed_email_body', 'my_booking_confirmation_email', 10, 2 );
function my_booking_confirmation_email( $message, $booking_id ){

     $event_id = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'event_id' );
     //$event_id is the (post) ID of the event

     //$message is the HTML mark-up of the e-mail.
     //Alter $message based on event category. 

     return $message;

}

What you could do is use a custom placeholder, and then use str_replace() to replace it with a dynamic block of text. From version 1.11.0 they’ll be an API for registering custom e-mail placeholders, so you won’t need to use the str_replace() method.

Hi,

I need exactly the same fonctionality …
the possibility to send different emails for events by category.

I read the your answer above but i did not understand how you apply it.
Could you be a bit more precise for non-dev people?

Thank’s

Vincent

I got it and understood the “utility plug-in ” concept…

Anyway… still thank’s for your job

Best

Vincent
