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.
