action hook that sends email to remote address

[mysmallbizu]

I'd like an action hook that sends a specifically formated email to my autoresponder created when a client completes an order... but not on a recurring payment.

 

The email should look like:

 

The “remote control” email must be sent to remote@yourdomain.com (insert your own domain in the place of yourdomain.com) and it must have a subject line in the format shown below. Unknown entries can be omitted.

 

owner=p1+password=p2+action=p3+name=p4+email=p5+autoresponder=p6+p7+TRAp8+ip=p9+drop=p10

 

The parameters p1 to p10 are explained here

 

p1: Your owner name : Required

 

p2: Your password : Required

 

p3: subscribe or unsubscribe

 

p4: Your subscriber's name

 

p5: Your subscribers email address

 

p6: Your autoresponder's subscription address (without the domain)

 

p7: plain or html

 

p8: The tracking tag to be associated with the subscription

 

p9: The IP address to be associated with the subscriber's record.

 

p10: Set to yes if you want the drop rules for the autoresponder to be actioned by this subscription.

 

For example, the following subject line would be valid:

 

owner=abc+password=12345+action=subscribe+name=John+email=john@johndoe.com+autoresponder=info+ip=10.10.0.3

 

I thought there was checkout script that did this before action hooks but I haven't seen anything similar for action hooks...

 

Any suggestions or can someone get me started here???

 

Thanks...

Anyone know how to have the action hook send an email?

[mysmallbizu]

I took this bit of code from the old checkout script and tried to modify if for actionhooks...

 

So far this is what I've added to the actionhooks.php but it stalls when run.... Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?

 

 

function actionhook_ClientSignup($vars) {

$sendEmail = "my name <name@emailaddress.com>";

$emailto = "name@anotheremailaddress.com";

$subject = "owner=owser+password=password+action=subscribe+name=$vars["FirstName"] $vars["LastName"]+email=$vars["Email"]+autoresponder=autorespondername+p7+p8+p9+p10

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

$headers .= "From: $sendEmail" . "\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

$datetimefull = date("l F dS, Y - h:i A");

$message = "

";

mail($emailto, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

# This function runs when a new client is added

# $vars["ClientID"]

# $vars["FirstName"]

# $vars["LastName"]

# $vars["CompanyName"]

# $vars["Email"]

# $vars["Address1"]

# $vars["Address2"]

# $vars["City"]

# $vars["State"]

# $vars["Postcode"]

# $vars["Country"]

# $vars["PhoneNumber"]

# $vars["Password"]

}

 

If someone could help me with this I'd greatly appreciate it..

This line is invalid php syntax:

 

$subject = "owner=owser+password=password+action=subscribe+na me=$vars["FirstName"] $vars["LastName"]+email=$vars["Email"]+autoresponder=autorespondername+p7+p8+p9+p10

 

You need to learn how to include variables inside quotation marks:

 

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

 

Look for 'Variable parsing', specifically 'Complex (curly) syntax'.

I don't want to learn php I just want the hook working!

 

I purchased the email marketing module that arcdigital was offering... but It isnt' working with 4.0 and I dont' think they are going to release any fixes for it.

 

Bottom line is that I need to get this working - just a specifically formated email sent out when a new user registers or a new order is placed...

 

If anyone could take a quick look at the above posts I'd greatly appreciate it..

I'm looking for the same thing... I'm trying to send an email to my aweber address so it automatically subscribes someone when they create an account

[mysmallbizu]

I'll let you know when it's up and running and I've tested it out...

[rudberg]

Any news? it's a neat and certainly useful idea...

[mysmallbizu]

What did you end up doing to get the email marketing module working?

 

Or did you?

I'm looking at this also... hope to have something soon.

[mysmallbizu]

Has anyone created a module for email marketing yet? Either a built in autoresponder or link to a 3rd party app like the one I outlined above?

[Okoji]

Any news on this?
