Was this information Helpful?

I am working on a small site that will be live for just the Holiday season. Local businesses can create gift certificate products on the site that then can be purchased by our users. The user and the admin receives an email but I'd also like the author (business owner) to receive an email if someone has purchased their product. So, if a user purchases 3 gift certificates from 3 different businesses, I'd like each business to receive and email containing all the buyers info and delivery address and just their gift certificate. Can this be done?

Ditto!

I had a hard time getting the send notice thingie to work, and so I created a custom conditional action, but it's doable.

Re: Send author of product an email when an order has been compl

Thanks. I checked out Ubercart Marketplace but I'm using Drupal 6 and the newest dev is missing the notify function. I can't find a way to send them an email. I tried creating my own conditional action based on the send admin/user email but can't get it to work. Cayenne, could you share the conditional action you made?

Re: Re: Send author of product an email when an order has been c

Meta Data is "Customer Completes Checkout."

Condition is "Check an order's products" (order has any of these products + order may have other products) Then select the products belonging to the vendor

Actions: Send seller notification, and also "send an order email" to the buyer.

Good luck!!

Hi, I am trying to fire up a

Hi,

I am trying to fire up a conditional action for the seller/author(/creator of the node product) to receive an email when one of his products get purchased.
So far every C.A. i make doesn't give an email. I Could try something like Cayenne has stated above, but the problem is that with this way i am forced to specify products for this action. Now what happens when i have many authors adding products to my site, possibly more authors added constantly, i have new products added to the store every week and a client who will receive an administration account with minimal web experience to modify/create C.A. each time??

Is there a more automated way to do this. When Customer completes checkout, send email to person who created this product node.

Thanks In advance for any help.
Hopefully someone will answer since this is a year old post Smiling

I am working on the Ubercart Marketplace - Multiple Seller Support but as i read the email notification feature for the seller is not implemented in the latest version. I think.

Re: Send author of product an email when an order has been compl

Have you worked out on this?
I'm trying to find how to achieve this but can't find any good solution.
I think this is a useful function if possible especially when we have a lot of authors who create the product nodes.

Re: Re: Send author of product an email when an order has been c

I managed to solve this. Its been a while now so i dont completly remember exactly how i did it.
However as far as i remember its a combination of the UC Marketplace module wich gives the seller functionality (product authors) and some Conditional Actions in combination with the following tokens.

http://drupal.org/project/mp_tokens

This link provides tokens for seller etc to use in conditional actions.
