shipping status - pickup

Hi,

I have local pickup configured. When someone completes an order and the order is ready for pickup i need to change the order status and the customer should receive a email. How would i go a bout this? As for now I can't do anything with the order but manual change the status. So no mail. Anyone?

Thanks!

Add ReadyForPickup field to OrderStatus enum. Then on change order status, insert message in queue, when updated status is ReadyForPickup.

Or, if you are not a developer / don't want to customize the code, then you need to use some built-in flow...

You could set up a Shipment, and then modify the message template:

ShipmentSent.CustomerNotification


Message templates now have ability for 'conditions' (%if  ...  %endif), so you may be able to tailor the email based on actual shipment (assuming you even do that now) vs. pickup;  but off-hand, I don't know what property to look for (assuming it's even available in the template).
