How to Check if a WooCommerce Email is Enabled or Disabled?

Method 1. get_option() – for custom emails
Please keep in mind, that this method works for custom emails only. So, if you try to use it for "Customer note" email for example, nothing happens ?♂️
Anyway, the familiar way is to use get_option( $key )
. But what should be in the $key
parameter? Please don’t open your code inspector in browser – HTML name
attribute is not what you need.
$email_options = get_option('woocommerce_{EMAIL ID}_settings');
if( $email_options['enabled'] == 'yes' ) {
// do something
}
Where to get email IDs? Easy – if you open email settings page and look at the URL, you will see admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=email§ion=EMAIL ID
. Usually emails IDs are the same as email class names.
Actually $email_options
contains the following array:
(
[enabled] => yes
[subject] =>
[heading] =>
[email_type] => html
[custom_stuff] => custom_stuff
)
Method 2. is_enabled()
This method works great for both default and custom WooCommerce emails.
$email = WC()->mailer()->emails['EMAIL CLASS NAME HERE'];
if( $email->is_enabled() ) {
// do something
}
By the way you can initialize WC()->mailer()
just once and do many cool stuff without creating new object, example $mailer = WC()->mailer()
.
Example – check if .. email is enabled and if yes, send it, and if another email is enabled, update some option.
$mailer = WC()->mailer();
if( $mailer->emails['WC_Email_New_Order']->is_enabled() ) {
$mailer->emails['WC_Email_New_Order']->trigger( $order_id );
}
if( $mailer->emails['WC_Email_Customer_New_Account']->is_enabled() ) {
update_option( 'jhjkhkhk', 'yes' );
}
And one more example – you can do the same using an object:
$email = new WC_Email_New_Order();
if( $email->is_enabled() ) {
// do stuff
}
Class Names of the Default WooCommerce Emails
I think after all of that I just have to give the list of class names of WooCommerce default emails! And here they are:
WC_Email_New_Order
WC_Email_Cancelled_Order
WC_Email_Failed_Order
WC_Email_Customer_On_Hold_Order
WC_Email_Customer_Processing_Order
WC_Email_Customer_Completed_Order
WC_Email_Customer_Refunded_Order
WC_Email_Customer_Invoice
WC_Email_Customer_Note
WC_Email_Customer_Reset_Password
WC_Email_Customer_New_Account
