I have a basic API endpoint that receives the info and sends out 2 emails: a copy to the admin, and another copy to the client (they are different). What’s the best way to create an admin template, and a client template, and then populate with data (like user’s name, email, etc)?

Hi

I have a basic API endpoint. When the user submits a form, the info is sent to the endpoint using JS, and after processing, I need to send an email to a specific email (for example, the admin), and another one to the client with more information.

At the moment, I have to hardcode everything into HTML strings and then have 2 different wp\_mail functions. A simplified version of my code looks like this:

// after all sanitation and validation (above)

$receivers = [“[email protected]”, “[email protected]”];

$headers[] = ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8’;

$subject_admin = “Form Submission: {$data[ ‘name’ ]} – {$data[ ’email’ ]}”;
$subject_client = “Thank you for filling out the form”;

$message_admin = “”;
$message_admin .= “ADMIN MESSAGE CONTENT ……”;

$message_client = “”;
$message_client .= “CLIENT MESSAGE CONTENT …..”;

try {
// ADMIN email
wp_mail( $receivers, $subject_admin, $message_admin, $headers );
} catch ( Exepction $e ) {
// Error handling
}

try {
// CLIENT email
wp_mail( $data[ ’email’ ], $subject_client, $message_client, $headers );
} catch ( Exepction $e ) {
// Error handling
}

// Send JSON success email whether emails are sent or not
wp_send_json_success();

This seems very clunky, especially that the client and admin emails are much longer than this with a few conditions in them.

I was thinking about making a template file and then including them, but I’m not sure if that’s the best way.

Any idea is welcome.

Thanks
