Thread: New Customer Notification to Admin

This procedure will enable your main site to send an email to whatever is specified in the MailMe_ToAddress (usually the merchant's email address) whenever a new customer is created. First, we will need to add an AppConfig, let's say, NewCustomerEmailNotification, set its value to true. This would serve as a switch for enabling this feature or not. Then look for the following if block statement on createaccount.aspx.cs:

Code:

if (AppLogic.AppConfigBool("SendWelcomeEmail") && EMailField.IndexOf("@") != -1)
{
// don't let a simple welcome stop checkout!
     try
    {
           AppLogic.SendMail(AppLogic.GetString("createaccount.aspx.79", ThisCustomer.SkinID, ThisCustomer.LocaleSetting), AppLogic.RunXmlPackage(AppLogic.AppConfig("XmlPackage.WelcomeEmail"), null, ThisCustomer, this.SkinID, "", "", false, false, this.EntityHelpers), true, AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_FromAddress"), AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_FromName"), EMailField, FirstName.Text.Trim() + " " + LastName.Text.Trim(), "", AppLogic.MailServer());
    }
    catch { }
}

Then add the following codes next to it:

Code:

if(AppLogic.AppConfigBool("NewCustomerEmailNotification"))
{
     try
     {
          AppLogic.SendMail("New Customer Notification","You have a NEW Customer. Customer ID:" + ThisCustomer.CustomerID.ToString(), true, AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_FromAddress"), AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_FromName"),AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_ToAddress"), AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_ToName")," ",AppLogic.MailServer());
     }
     catch{ }
}

This is just exactly what I needed-- thanks! I just need a little more guidance, if you don't mind... I have the code pointing to a new xml package "notification.newmemberwelcome2.xml" to format the email, and I'd like to pull some of the form fields (customer name, city, state, etc.) onto the email, but I haven't done that before. If you can point me to an example of how to display one form field, I think I can figure out the rest! THANKS again!

Ok, got the XML formatting issue above worked out, but now need help with sending the message to multiple addresses. We don't have access to the client's email server and aren't sure they will be able to set up a distribution group, so we are trying to figure out a way to send this notification to multiple email addresses.

Apparently the MailMe_ToAddress doesn't handle comma-separated values, because it only sends to the first email address in the list. Then we tried using the GotNewOrderEmail value, but that appears to only send to the first address as well. Am I missing something?

AppLogic.SendMail("You have a new State Contract customer", AppLogic.RunXmlPackage(AppLogic.AppConfig("XmlPack age.WelcomeEmail2"), Nothing, ThisCustomer, Me.SkinID, "", "fullname=" & FirstName.Text.Trim() & " " & LastName.Text.Trim(), False, False, Me.EntityHelpers), True, AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_FromAddress"), AppLogic.AppConfig("MailMe_FromName"), AppLogic.AppConfig("GotOrderEMailTo"), "Macthrift State Reps", "", AppLogic.MailServer())

You may try using the Split method to extract email addresses separated by a comma and then create a loop statement to the SendMail passing each extracted email address to a variable that would eventually be tossed to the MailMe_ToAddress parameter.

Is there a way to put all registration form fields in the new customer notification email without using xml package, similar to contact form or lat_signup.aspx?

Thank you!

Thanks. This is eactly what we are looking for.,

This exatcly what I am looking for.

Thank you.

How is this accomplished in v9
I would also like to use a different xml.config and address for the email sent to the admin

Just follow exactly what Jao told you to do, that should work the same. As for using a different XML, from the SendMail overload you'll have to change AppLogic.RunXmlPackage(AppLogic.AppConfig("XmlPack age.WelcomeEmail") to your custom XML.

I still want to use XmlPackage.WelcomeEmail for the customer welcome mail.
I just want to use a different one for the admin notification
