Hello,

We’ve bought your plugin, nice work. Now we have a new need :

Is it possible to use an order meta field as trigger ?
We have a meta field name “Invoice available” > Yes/NO
I would like to send an email “Your invoice is available” once this field is Yes

Thanks you for your help

Hi,

We could check the meta each time order is saved – with the woocommerce_after_order_object_save action.

Try adding this snippet to your site:
```
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_order_object_save', function ( $order ) {
    if (
        function_exists( 'alg_wc_ce_send_email' ) &&
        'yes' === $order->get_meta( 'your_meta_key' ) // replace meta key
    ) {
        $custom_email_id = 1; // for the "Custom email #1"
        alg_wc_ce_send_email( $custom_email_id, $order->get_id() );
    }
} );
```
Please let me know what you think.

Hello thanks you for your answer

I’ve paste it in my function.php
```
// Email when invoice yes
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_order_object_save', function ( $order ) {
if (
function_exists( 'alg_wc_ce_send_email' ) &&
'yes' === $order->get_meta( 'Sage_invoice_File' )
) {
$custom_email_id = 2; // "Custom email #1"
alg_wc_ce_send_email( $custom_email_id, $order->get_id() );
}
} );
```
but when i update order, the email #2 is sent even if meta “Sage_invoice_File” is “No”

Do i need to add something else ?
