How to trig an action when email “order completed” is sent

    Hello

    From the woocommerce desktop, when passing the status of an order from “pending” toward “completed”, in parallel to the “customer-completed-order” I would like to do my own treatment and send my own additional email based on the same data (order number, products bought, customer email adress…).

    How can I add this action (trigger a xxx.php) only for the ‘order complete’ action.

    Thanks for any idea.

    Cheers

    Why don’t you simply override the order complete email template with your own custom one? Have a look at https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/ for more details on how to get started with that.

    Hello Riaan

    Thanks for your answer. I already was thinking to that solution, BUT , as non professional (i’m a volunteer webmaster) I haven’t the right knowledge to understand the code to write.

    My knwoledge will permit to store data of the order into a json file and to use these data to build my own treatment, outside wordpress triggered by a cron searching a dedicted reportory.

    I looked at the file customer-completed-email.php but my first concern was that I didn’t understand how works do_action( 'woocommerce_email_order_details', $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text, $email ); and what I can do with it.

    This certainly the right place to grab the information sent into the mail, but looking at add_action, I still don’t understand what to do.

    What I need is just to store the information of the order (number, name, email, product…) in a json file and I will do the rest.

    Thanks

    Regards
