Application settings

Themes of creating messages

You can set unlimited number of topics that will track order statuses and create new messages with different frequency of sending messages.


Topic name
Sets arbitrarily

Send email via
Specify the number of hours after how much to send a message to the user

After transferring the order to the status
after the status change to the event msOnChangeOrderStatus the plug-in works and checks the availability of the topic with the new order status

Clean the queue after the status
It happens that our order changes its status several times, but the deferred message is created for each of our statuses. In this way, you can delete the previous messages in the queue

If the status of the order has changed, the message is not sent
If Yes is set, an order created with the New status will not be sent if the order has been changed to Paid or some other order.

Themes and chunks
They work the same way as when creating a new status in the minishop (all placeholders are exactly the same as when sending an order normally)

Message Queuing

After placing the order by the buyer, our order received the status of New. Since the theme for this status was configured, the component automatically queued for sending the message in 2 hours.

Additionally, the status of the distribution script is displayed in the queue tab. Where you can see the start and end date of the crontab job execution
for testing, a push button for sending a message has been added

Crontab

To automate the sending of pending messages, you must configure crontab.

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/php ~/www/core/components/msdeferredmessages/cron/sendmessage.php

Attention!!! Adjustment of the cron job is mandatory. Otherwise, the messages will be in the queue

System settings

max_limit_message — Maximum message sending limit
The maximum limit for sending messages at a time. Depending on your php settings, you need to specify how many messages will be left

msdeferredmessages_last_start_run_crontab — The latest start date for the job crontab
The default is empty. Date of the script execution for the distribution core/components/msdeferredmessages/cron/sendmessage.php

msdeferredmessages_last_end_run_crontab — The last date the crontab job was completed
The default is empty. The expiration date of the script execution for the mailing core/components/msdeferredmessages/cron/sendmessage.php
