Disable WooCommerce New order email notification if order status is On hold

Question

Is there a way to disable the "New Order" e-mail notification sent to admin when the order status is "On hold"?

Or to enable it only for "processing" status?

I also tried different things to receive the "New Order" email only when the status is "Processing", without success.

Any help.

To disable "New Order" e-mail notification sent to admin when the order status is "on-hold", use:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_new_order', 'disable_new_order_for_on_hold_order_status', 10, 2 );
function disable_new_order_for_on_hold_order_status( $recipient, $order = false ) {
    if ( ! $order || ! is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) 
        return $recipient;

    return $order->get_status() === 'on-hold' ? '' : $recipient;
}

To enable "New Order" e-mail notification sent to admin only when order status is "processing" replace in the function above:

return = $order->get_status() === 'on-hold' ? '' : $recipient;

with the following:

return = $order->get_status() === 'processing' ? $recipient : '';

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
