Sending email based on product bought

Hi

I have modified code to send an email specific to the category of the item purchased.

at the moment is have just set up 3 categories and change the code in the UE code from

$EmailRef = "waue_checkout_success_1";

To

if ($CHG_cart->DisplayInfo("category") == 1) {
$EmailRef = "waue_checkout_success_1";
} else
if ($CHG_cart->DisplayInfo("category") == 2) {
$EmailRef = "waue_checkout_success_2";
} else
if ($CHG_cart->DisplayInfo("category") == 3) {
$EmailRef = "waue_checkout_success_3";
} ;

but this is sending 3 email instead of just one based on the category purchased.

Is this possible or am I just running round in circles?

You would need to set up a universal email instance for each of the 3 categories.

then add the if statement around the entire instance, not just the email reference name.

Hi Jason,

I take it you mean this instance?

<?php
if (("" == "")) {
//WA Universal Email object="mail"
@session_write_close();
set_time_limit(0);
$EmailRef = "waue_checkout_success_1";
$BurstSize = 200;
$BurstTime = 1;
$WaitTime = 1;
$GoToPage = "";
$RecipArray = array();
$StartBurst = time();
$LoopCount = 0;
$TotalEmails = 0;
$RecipIndex = 0;
// build up recipients array
$CurIndex = sizeof($RecipArray);
$RecipArray[$CurIndex] = array();
$RecipArray[$CurIndex ][] = "".(WA_getSavedFormValue("CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default","Email_Address")) ."";
$TotalEmails += sizeof($RecipArray[$CurIndex]);
$RealWait = ($WaitTime<0.25)?0.25:($WaitTime+0.1);
$TimeTracker = Array();
$TotalBursts = floor($TotalEmails/$BurstSize);
$AfterBursts = $TotalEmails % $BurstSize;
$TimeRemaining = ($TotalBursts * $BurstTime) + ($AfterBursts*$RealWait);
if ($TimeRemaining < ($TotalEmails*$RealWait) ) {
$TimeRemaining = $TotalEmails*$RealWait;
}
writeUEProgress($EmailRef,0,$TotalEmails,$TimeRemaining);
while ($RecipIndex < sizeof($RecipArray)) {
$EnteredValue = is_string($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]);
$CurIndex = 0;
while (($EnteredValue && $CurIndex < sizeof($RecipArray[$RecipIndex])) || (!$EnteredValue && $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0])) {
$starttime = microtime_float();
if ($EnteredValue) {
$RecipientEmail = $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][$CurIndex];
} else {
$RecipientEmail = $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0][$RecipArray[$RecipIndex][2]];
}
$EmailsRemaining = ($TotalEmails- $LoopCount);
$BurstsRemaining = ceil(($EmailsRemaining-$AfterBursts)/$BurstSize);
$IntoBurst = ($EmailsRemaining-$AfterBursts) % $BurstSize;
if ($AfterBursts<$EmailsRemaining) $IntoBurst = 0;
$TimeRemaining = ($BurstsRemaining * $BurstTime * 60) + ((($AfterBursts<$EmailsRemaining)?$AfterBursts:$EmailsRemaining)*$RealWait) - (($AfterBursts>$EmailsRemaining)?0:($IntoBurst*$RealWait));
if ($TimeRemaining < ($EmailsRemaining*$RealWait) ) {
$TimeRemaining = $EmailsRemaining*$RealWait;
}
$CurIndex ++;
$LoopCount ++;
writeUEProgress($EmailRef,$LoopCount,$TotalEmails,round($TimeRemaining));
wa_sleep($WaitTime);

$endtime = microtime_float();
$TimeTracker[] =$endtime - $starttime;
$RealWait = array_sum($TimeTracker)/sizeof($TimeTracker);

$TimePassed = (time() - $StartBurst);
if ($TimePassed < ($BurstTime*60)) {
$WaitBurst = ($BurstTime*60) -$TimePassed;
wa_sleep($WaitBurst);
}
else {
$TimeRemaining = ($TotalEmails- $LoopCount)*$RealWait;
}
$StartBurst = time();
}
if (!$EnteredValue) {
$RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0] = mysql_fetch_assoc($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][1]);
}
}
$RecipIndex ++;
}
@session_start();

if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $GoToPage = $GoToPage?rel2abs($GoToPage,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
if ($GoToPage!="") {
header("Location: ".$GoToPage);
}
}
?>


would I just copy the code or create it from scratch

Yes, that is the code block for a UE server behavior.

dont copy it, create the other 2 instances of the server behavior.

Webassist -> Create Email Message

to create the emails for each category, then add the if statement around the UE server behaviors so the correct one triggers depending on the category.

If you need further assistance with this, I Would suggest signing up for a premiere support appointment:

Hi Jason

I think i've got this one sorted just a quick one with the category

if ($CHG_cart->DisplayInfo("category") == 1)

as my category is a numeric value for the index would I surround the 1 in quotes or leave as it is here?

Thank you I wasn't too sure but I did think that I should.

Better to check though
