Sending an SMS for specific email notifications and order statuses - php

Question

With WooCommerce I use a special theme that handle bookings for motorbikes and scooters rental service. I want to get the order related data. I am trying to send an SMS when an email notification is sent to customer for completed, on hold, pending and **processing** order status.
I have use the code below for instance that output the data I need in SMS:
$order = new WC_Order($order_id);
$status = $order->get_status(); // order status
if( 'completed' == $status || 'processing' == $status || 'pending' == $status || 'on-hold' == $status ){
$user_phone = get_post_meta($order_id, '_billing_phone', true);
foreach ($order->get_items() as $item_id => $item) {
$product_id = $order->get_item_meta($item_id, '_product_id', true); // product ID
$product_name = get_post($product_id)->post_title; // Product description
// Related Booking data to insert in SMS
$book_check_in = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_in', true );
$book_check_out = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_out', true );
$book_pick_up = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_pick_up', true );
$book_drop_off = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_drop_off', true );
}
// Send SMS in SMS API
file_get_contents("http://144.76.39.175/api.php?username=xxxxxxxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxxxxx&route=1&message%5B%5D=The+message&sender=NBWREN&mobile%5B%5D=xxxxxxxxxxx");
}
This is not working. Where should I hook this code? I tried different templates and all I got were some 500 errors or simply nothing happened.
Please give me some help.
Thanks

You can use a custom function hooked in woocommerce_email_order_details hook, using included $order and $email objects.
You will be able to rearrange the message as you like, as this is just an example.
I have commented this code to make you understand how it works:
add_action('woocommerce_email_order_details', 'send_sms_on_email_notifications', 10, 4);
function send_sms_on_email_notifications($order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text, $email){
$order_id = $order->id; // get the order ID for Order object
$email_id = $email->id; // get the email ID for Email object
$order_status = $order->get_status(); // Get order Status
// Array of Email IDs to avoid Admin email notifications (SMS sent twice on some notifications)
$emails_ids_exceptions = array('new_order', 'failed_order', 'customer_invoice', 'customer_note');
// Your targeted order status
$order_statuses = array('completed', 'processing', 'on-hold', 'pending');
$send_the_sms = false;
// Just for your targeted order statuses
if( in_array( $order_status, $order_statuses ) ):
// iterating in the order items
foreach($order->get_items() as $item_id => $item):
$prod_id = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_product_id', true ); // product ID
$prod_name = get_post($prod_id)->post_title; // Product Name
$mobile = get_post_meta($order_id, '_billing_phone', true); // mobile phone
// Related Booking data to insert in SMS
$check_in = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_in', true );
$check_out = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_check_out', true );
$pick_up = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_pick_up', true );
$drop_off = $order->get_item_meta( $item_id, '_st_drop_off', true );
// stoping the loop (just for one item)
break;
endforeach;
// Limiting to customer email notifications
if( !in_array( $email_id, $emails_ids_exceptions ) )
{
// inserting the order data (variables) in the message
$text = "Your order $order_id with $status status, for $prod_name. Your booking details: Check in time: $check_in, Check out Time: $check_out, Pick up $pick_up and drop of Time is $drop_off";
$send_the_sms = true;
}
// TRIGGERING THE SMS
if($send_the_sms)
{
// Replacing spaces by '+' in the message
$message = str_replace(' ', '+', $text);
// Inserting the message and the user number phone in the URL
$url = "http://144.76.39.175/api.php?username=xxxxxxxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxxxxx&route=1&message%5B%5D=$message&sender=NBWREN&mobile%5B%5D=$mobile";
// Triggering the SMS
file_get_contents($url);
}
endif;
}
This code will work for the first item of the order, assuming that people rent one bike or one scooter at the time.
The code is mainly tested, but I can't guaranty the triggered SMS as I can't test it on your SMS API. I hope this will work… Let me know.
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Or also in any plugin php files.
