I am currently looking for a way to send an email notification with WordPress

  • 0

I am currently looking for a way to send an email notification with WordPress website. So for example, when user visits page A, there’ll be an email notification sent in the background.

I haven’t got much experience with web development in WordPress environment, so can anyone give me a pointer here? Where should I start?

Thanks.

Edit:

I have tried both mail() & wp_mail() functions but none of them seemed to work for me. When I visited that page, no email got sent out. I’ve also checked the template for that page, which is just default template. Perhaps I was editing the wrong file??

Edit2:

I guess mail function probably hasn’t yet been enabled by the hosting provider.

    Here’s a very basic piece of php code that sends an html email. 

    <?php
if(is_page(123))
{

$fromName = 'Auto email notification system';

$subject = 'Confirmed';

/* Mail Address */
$toAddr = 'me@domain.com'; 
$bccAddr = 'bccperson@domain.com'; 
$fromAddr = 'no-reply@domain.com';
/* End Mail Address */


/* Mail Body */
$msg = '
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
my messages about confirmation...
</body>
</html>
';

$msg = wordwrap($msg, 70);
/* End Mail Body */


/* Mail Headers Setup */
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers[] = "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8";
$headers[] = "From: ".$fromName." <".$fromAddr.">";
$headers[] = "Bcc: <".$bccAddr.">";
/* End Mail Headers Setup */


mail($toAddr, $subject, $msg, implode("\r\n", $headers));

}
?>

    And I placed above code in header.php file, towards the bottom and it worked for me.

    Thank you guys for all the suggestions and help.
