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 extensions in Magento 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.

- File: Your email template file.
- 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.
