Hi @craigedmonds
I found your gist is very helpful. Thank you so much

Thank you!

This is very useful, but for some reason the following "standard" emails sent from woocommerce keep repeating this custom one, how would it be possible to - escape - this email?

Thanks in advance

You're Awesome!

is it possible to show here $subject = __("Hi! Here is a custom notification from us!", 'theme_name'); product short description ?

Great! Thank you for this code!

This code saved me a lot of headaches, thank you!!

Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

I know this has been here for ages, but I want to store the template in a plugin folder instead of the woocommerce folder, does anyone know how this is possible to do?

Whenever I try to do it, there will be an error because the plugin is expecting the template to be stored in the WooCommerce folder and no where else.

@FluxCoder, have your resolved the problem? I need to send emails from my own plugin using WC email template. I cannot find how to do it.
