Table of Contents
Email is a popular way for suppliers and customers to communicate. Email marketing allows you to communicate with your customers in order to promote your brand and increase sales.
Many Magento 2 extensions demand their own emails with specific templates, parameters, and conditions in addition to the normal email templates.
Step 1: Declare config module
Create etc/adminhtml/system.xml.
You can create a field to load the email template in the section and group by app/code/Bss/EmailDemo/etc/adminhtml/system.xml.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">
<system>
<tab id="bss" translate="label" sortOrder="300">
<label><![CDATA[Bss Commerce]]></label>
</tab>
<section id="email" translate="label" sortOrder="20" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
<class>separator-top</class>
<label>Bss Email Demo</label>
<tab>bss</tab>
<resource>Bss_EmailDemo::config_emaildemo</resource>
<group id="demo" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="2" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
<label>Please Choose Your Email Template</label>
<field id="template" translate="label" type="select" sortOrder="3" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
<label>Email Template</label>
<source_model>Magento\Config\Model\Config\Source\Email\Template</source_model>
<comment>Email template is chosen based on theme fallback when "Default" option is selected.</comment>
</field>
</group>
</section>
</system>
</config>
Please go to BSS COMMERCE -> BSS Email Demo to see the result.
Step 2: Declare Email Template
Create app/code/Bss/EmailDemo/etc/email_templates.xml.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Email:etc/email_templates.xsd"> <template id="email_demo_template" label="This is email demo" file="email_demo_template.html" type="html" module="Bss_EmailDemo" area="frontend"/> </config>
In which:
- Template ID: Your template ID you have created in Step 1.

- Type: Type of your email. module: Your module.
- Area: Place your email in the module directory. view/frontend or view/adminhtml

Step 3: Create Helper Email
Create app/code/Bss/EmailDemo/Helper/Email.php.
<?php
namespace Bss\EmailDemo\Helper;
use Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context;
use Magento\Framework\Translate\Inline\StateInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Escaper;
use Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder;
class Email extends \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper
{
protected $inlineTranslation;
protected $escaper;
protected $transportBuilder;
protected $logger;
public function __construct(
Context $context,
StateInterface $inlineTranslation,
Escaper $escaper,
TransportBuilder $transportBuilder
) {
parent::__construct($context);
$this->inlineTranslation = $inlineTranslation;
$this->escaper = $escaper;
$this->transportBuilder = $transportBuilder;
$this->logger = $context->getLogger();
}
public function sendEmail()
{
try {
$this->inlineTranslation->suspend();
$sender = [
'name' => $this->escaper->escapeHtml('Test'),
'email' => $this->escaper->escapeHtml('humorgodfather9x02@gmail.com'),
];
$transport = $this->transportBuilder
->setTemplateIdentifier('email_demo_template')
->setTemplateOptions(
[
'area' => \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND,
'store' => \Magento\Store\Model\Store::DEFAULT_STORE_ID,
]
)
->setTemplateVars([
'templateVar' => 'My Topic',
])
->setFrom($sender)
->addTo('testmagento321@gmail.com')
->getTransport();
$transport->sendMessage();
$this->inlineTranslation->resume();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$this->logger->debug($e->getMessage());
}
}
}
In which:
- $sender: The sender’s information (‘name’: sender’s name and ‘email’: sender’s email)
- setTemplateIdentifier(’email_demo_template’): email_demo_template is ID of template email mentioned in Step 1 and 2.
- setTemplateVars: The information or variable in your email.
- addTo(‘testmagento321@gmail.com’): You can fill in the recipient’s email here.
Step 4: Create Email by HTML
Create app/code/Bss/EmailDemo/view/frontend/email/email_demo_template.html.
{{template config_path="design/email/header_template"}}
<table>
<tr>{{trans "Wellcome To: %templateVar." templateVar=$templateVar}}</tr>
</table>
{{template config_path="design/email/footer_template"}}
You can also send Magento 2 emails through Events or use the Plugin to add emails.
Step 5: Catch Event
To test the email function, we test through the capture of the customer_register_success event when the customer registers the account successfully.
Create app/code/Bss/EmailDemo/etc/frontend/events.xml.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
<event name="customer_register_success">
<observer name="bss_email_customer_register" instance="Bss\EmailDemo\Observer\CustomerRegisterObserver"/>
</event>
</config>
Step 6: Create Observer to Send Email
Create app/code/Bss/EmailDemo/Observer/CustomerRegisterObserver.php.
<?php
namespace Bss\EmailDemo\Observer;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
use Bss\EmailDemo\Helper\Email;
class CustomerRegisterObserver implements ObserverInterface
{
private $helperEmail;
public function __construct(
Email $helperEmail
) {
$this->helperEmail = $helperEmail;
}
public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
{
return $this->helperEmail->sendEmail();
}
}
The Result
After the account is registered successfully, emails will be sent automatically to the customer. Please take a look at the image below.
