Question

Looking for a decent observer of the Mage_Sendfriend module, when the product is sent to a friend. I just traced it and don’t see anything immediately useful. There is one dispatch written in the module, which actually fires when the send to friend form is loaded, not when it’s actually submitted.

Answer 1

Looking at the events triggered, here are some events you might use:

controller_action_postdispatch_sendfriend_product_sendmail
controller_action_postdispatch_sendfriend
controller_action_postdispatch

And in the function you want to use for this event:

$controller = $observer->getControllerAction();
