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());
        }
    }
}

setTemplateVars: The information or variable in your email.
addTo(‘testmagento321@gmail.com’): You can fill in the recipient’s email here.

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 emails through Events or use the Plugin to add emails.

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>

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();
    }
}

For your requirement, please follow:
Step 1: Construct Customer Session
use Magento\Customer\Model\Session;


protected $customerSession;

/** * Email constructor. * @param Session $customerSession */ public function __construct( Context $context, Session $customerSession ) { parent::__construct($context); $this->customerSession = $customerSession; }
Step 2: Get model customer from customer session and necessary info. For example, in the sendMail() function:
public function sendEmail() { try { $this->inlineTranslation->suspend(); $sender = [ 'name' => $this->escape->escapeHtml('Test'), 'email' => $this->escape->escapeHtml('humorgodfather9x02@gmail.com'), ]; if ($this->customerSession->isLoggedIn()) { $customer = $this->customerSession->getCustomer(); $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', 'customerName' => $customer->getName(), 'customerAddress' => $customer->getAddresses() ]) ->setFrom($sender) ->addTo('testmagento321@gmail.com') ->getTransport(); } else { $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()); } }
Hope this helps!

Hello Nguyen and thank you for your tutorial. If I wanted to include customer details of the customer that just registered in the email, how would I get the customerID (or directly the $customer variable) inside the sendEmail() funtion for example?

Hey,

Thanks for the great tutorial. I want to send email to individual or multiple customers e.g. sending them a coupon code, it will be easier if I can get a form in admin panel, and write the mail and send. Could you please help me with this? or is their such extension?
