Sending an SMS for specific email notifications and order statuses

Question

With WooCommerce I use a special theme that handle bookings for motorbikes and scooters rental service. I want to get the order related data. I am trying to send an SMS when an email notification is sent to customer for completed, on hold, pending and **processing** order status.

I have use the code below for instance that output the data I need in SMS:

$order = new WC_Order($order_id);
$status = $order->get_status(); // order status

if( 'completed' == $status || 'processing' == $status || 'pending' == $status || 'on-hold' == $status ){

    $user_phone = get_post_meta($order_id, '_billing_phone', true); 

    foreach ($order->get_items() as $item_id => $item) {

        $product_id = $order->get_item_meta($item_id, '_product_id', true); // product ID
        $product_name = get_post($product_id)->post_title; // Product description

        // Related Booking data to insert in SMS
        $book_check_in  = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_in', true );
        $book_check_out = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_out', true );
        $book_pick_up   = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_pick_up', true );
        $book_drop_off  = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_drop_off', true );

    }
    // Send SMS in SMS API
    file_get_contents("http://144.76.39.175/api.php?username=xxxxxxxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxxxxx&route=1&message%5B%5D=The+message&sender=NBWREN&mobile%5B%5D=xxxxxxxxxxx");

}

This is not working. Where should I hook this code? I tried different templates and all I got were some 500 errors or simply nothing happened.

Please give me some help.

Thanks

What is the error message in the 500 exception? – ChrisBint Dec 12 '16 at 12:11 — ChrisBint, Dec 12 '16 at 12:11

You can use a custom function hooked in woocommerce_email_order_details hook, using included $order and $email objects.

You will be able to rearrange the message as you like, as this is just an example.

I have commented this code to make you understand how it works:

add_action('woocommerce_email_order_details', 'send_sms_on_email_notifications', 10, 4);
function send_sms_on_email_notifications($order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text, $email){

    $order_id       = $order->id; // get the order ID for Order object 
    $email_id       = $email->id; // get the email ID for Email object 
    $order_status   = $order->get_status(); // Get order Status

    // Array of Email IDs to avoid Admin email notifications (SMS sent twice on some notifications)
    $emails_ids_exceptions  = array('new_order', 'failed_order', 'customer_invoice', 'customer_note');

    // Your targeted order status
    $order_statuses = array('completed', 'processing', 'on-hold', 'pending');

    $send_the_sms = false;

    // Just for your targeted order statuses
    if( in_array( $order_status, $order_statuses ) ):

        // iterating in the order items
        foreach($order->get_items() as $item_id => $item):

            $prod_id   = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_product_id', true ); // product ID
            $prod_name = get_post($prod_id)->post_title; // Product Name

            $mobile    = get_post_meta($order_id, '_billing_phone', true); // mobile phone

            // Related Booking data to insert in SMS
            $check_in  = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_in', true );
            $check_out = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_out', true );
            $pick_up   = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_pick_up', true );
            $drop_off  = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_drop_off', true );

            // stoping the loop (just for one item)
            break;

        endforeach;

        // Limiting to customer email notifications
        if( !in_array( $email_id, $emails_ids_exceptions ) )
        {
            // inserting the order data (variables) in the message
            $text = "Your order $order_id with $status status, for $prod_name. Your booking details: Check in time: $check_in, Check out Time: $check_out, Pick up $pick_up and drop of Time is $drop_off";

            $send_the_sms = true;
        }

        // TRIGGERING THE SMS
        if($send_the_sms)
        {
            // Replacing spaces by '+' in the message
            $message = str_replace(' ', '+', $text);

            // Inserting the message and the user number phone in the URL
            $url = "http://144.76.39.175/api.php?username=xxxxxxxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxxxxx&route=1&message%5B%5D=$message&sender=NBWREN&mobile%5B%5D=$mobile";

            // Triggering the SMS
            file_get_contents($url);
        }

    endif;

}

This code will work for the first item of the order, assuming that people rent one bike or one scooter at the time.
The code is mainly tested, but I can't guaranty the triggered SMS as I can't test it on your SMS API. I hope this will work… Let me know.

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Or also in any plugin php files.

exactly was expecting for same thing thanks it really helped me alot ..:) — Shaik, Dec 12 '16 at 12:54
@Shaik I was not so sure of the SMS generated URL… Very happy that is working. I have learned also a lot around $email object in that woocommerce email templates… — LoicTheAztec, Dec 12 '16 at 13:56
