The plugin introduces a feature to send delivery reminder emails to the site admin for upcoming deliveries scheduled for the next day. This feature ensures that the site admin is also notified about tomorrow’s deliveries.

How to Enable Admin Reminder Emails

For this, go to Order Delivery Date -> Reminder -> Admin Reminder where you will be able to see the settings as shown below:

Admin will receive reminder emails

This setting controls whether or not reminder emails are sent to the admin.

When the setting is enabled by switching the toggle ON, the reminder emails will be sent to admin for the next day’s deliveries. This ensures that the admin is always aware of what deliveries need attention and can prepare accordingly.

Let’s say an order is placed for delivery on 29th March 2020. A reminder email will be automatically sent to the admin on 28th March 2020 at 7 PM, notifying them of the delivery scheduled for the following day as shown below:

The template used for sending an automatic reminder email will be the default template set under WooCommerce -> Settings -> Email -> Admin Delivery Reminder page.

By default, the delivery reminder email will be sent at 7 PM.

Include same day deliveries in admin reminder

There is an optional setting to Include same-day deliveries in admin reminders. When enabled, the admin will not only receive reminders for next-day deliveries but also for any deliveries scheduled for the same day. This setting is useful in cases where last-minute or same-day orders are common. It ensures that the admin doesn’t miss any deliveries that need immediate attention.

Conclusion

This feature keeps the admin informed about all upcoming and current-day deliveries, improving order management and helping prevent any delays or missed deliveries.
