Is there a way to disable a Magento Order Confirmation Email for a particular customer group ?

I won't mind someone giving me a guide on how to create a custom module for this function.

Thanks

For this, you have to rewrite the queueNewOrderEmail() function from: app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php to your local codePool then put this:

public function queueNewOrderEmail($forceMode = false)
 
 $storeId = $this->getStore()->getId();
 if (!Mage::helper('sales')->canSendNewOrderEmail($storeId)) 
 return $this;
 

 // Get the destination email addresses to send copies to
 $copyTo = $this->_getEmails(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_TO);
 $copyMethod = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_METHOD, $storeId);

 // Start store emulation process
 /** @var $appEmulation Mage_Core_Model_App_Emulation */
 $appEmulation = Mage::getSingleton('core/app_emulation');
 $initialEnvironmentInfo = $appEmulation->startEnvironmentEmulation($storeId);

 try 
 // Retrieve specified view block from appropriate design package (depends on emulated store)
 $paymentBlock = Mage::helper('payment')->getInfoBlock($this->getPayment())
 ->setIsSecureMode(true);
 $paymentBlock->getMethod()->setStore($storeId);
 $paymentBlockHtml = $paymentBlock->toHtml();
 catch (Exception $exception) 
 // Stop store emulation process
 $appEmulation->stopEnvironmentEmulation($initialEnvironmentInfo);
 throw $exception;
 

 // Stop store emulation process
 $appEmulation->stopEnvironmentEmulation($initialEnvironmentInfo);

 // Retrieve corresponding email template id and customer name
 if ($this->getCustomerIsGuest()) 
 $templateId = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_GUEST_TEMPLATE, $storeId);
 $customerName = $this->getBillingAddress()->getName();
 else 
 $templateId = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, $storeId);
 $customerName = $this->getCustomerName();
 

 /** @var $mailer Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Mailer */
 $mailer = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_mailer');
 /** @var $emailInfo Mage_Core_Model_Email_Info */
 $emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
 $emailInfo->addTo($this->getCustomerEmail(), $customerName);
 if ($copyTo && $copyMethod == 'bcc') 
 // Add bcc to customer email
 foreach ($copyTo as $email) 
 $emailInfo->addBcc($email);
 
 
 $mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);

 // Email copies are sent as separated emails if their copy method is 'copy'
 if ($copyTo && $copyMethod == 'copy') 
 foreach ($copyTo as $email) 
 $emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
 $emailInfo->addTo($email);
 $mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
 
 

 // Set all required params and send emails
 $mailer->setSender(Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_IDENTITY, $storeId));
 $mailer->setStoreId($storeId);
 $mailer->setTemplateId($templateId);
 $mailer->setTemplateParams(array(
 'order' => $this,
 'billing' => $this->getBillingAddress(),
 'payment_html' => $paymentBlockHtml
 ));

 /** @var $emailQueue Mage_Core_Model_Email_Queue */
 $emailQueue = Mage::getModel('core/email_queue');
 $emailQueue->setEntityId($this->getId())
 ->setEntityType(self::ENTITY)
 ->setEventType(self::EMAIL_EVENT_NAME_NEW_ORDER)
 ->setIsForceCheck(!$forceMode);
 //The add
 $customerGroups = array(1, 3); //the customer group id's that you don't send Email
 $currentCustomerGroup = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId();
 if(!in_array($currentCustomerGroup, $customerGroups)) 
 $mailer->setQueue($emailQueue)->send();
 $this->setEmailSent(true);
 

 $this->_getResource()->saveAttribute($this, 'email_sent');

 return $this;
 

You can create a small extension like this:

app/code/local/My/Module/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
 <modules>
 <My_Module>
 <version>0.0.1</version>
 </My_Module>
 </modules>
 <global>
 <models>
 <my_module>
 <class>My_Module_Model</class>
 </my_module>
 </models>
 <events>
 <!-- onepage checkout -->
 <checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after>
 <observers>
 <disable_new_order_email>
 <class>my_module/observer</class>
 <method>disableNewOrderEmail</method>
 </disable_new_order_email>
 </observers>
 </checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after>
 <!-- multishipping checkout -->
 <checkout_type_multishipping_create_orders_single>
 <observers>
 <disable_new_order_email>
 <class>my_module/observer</class>
 <method>disableNewOrderEmail</method>
 </disable_new_order_email>
 </observers>
 </checkout_type_multishipping_create_orders_single>
 </events>
 </global>
</config>

app/code/local/My/Module/Model/Observer.php

class My_Module_Model_Observer extends Mage_Core_Model_Observer

 public function disableNewOrderEmail(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
 
 $order = $observer->getOrder();
 $noEmail = array(0, 1, 2, 3); // your customer group IDs
 if (in_array($order->getCustomerGroupId(), $noEmail)) 
 $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);
 
 

Reference to the related code:

Mage_Checkout_Model_Type_Onepage::saveOrder()

public function saveOrder()

 ...
 Mage::dispatchEvent('checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after',
 array('order'=>$order, 'quote'=>$this->getQuote()));
 ...
 if (!$redirectUrl && $order->getCanSendNewEmailFlag()) 
 try 
 $order->queueNewOrderEmail();
 catch (Exception $e) 
 Mage::logException($e);
 
 
 ...

Edit:

For M2E you can try to modify/rewrite

• Ess_M2ePro_Model_Amazon_Order


• Ess_M2ePro_Model_Ebay_Order

Try this:

public function afterCreateMagentoOrder()

 if ($this->getAmazonAccount()->isMagentoOrdersCustomerNewNotifyWhenOrderCreated()) 
 $order = $this->getParentObject()->getMagentoOrder();
 $noEmail = array(0, 1, 2, 3); // your customer group IDs
 if (in_array($order->getCustomerGroupId(), $noEmail)) 
 if (method_exists($order, 'queueNewOrderEmail')) 
 $order->queueNewOrderEmail(false);
 else 
 $order->sendNewOrderEmail();
 
 
 

 if ($this->isFulfilledByAmazon() && !$this->getAmazonAccount()->isMagentoOrdersFbaStockEnabled()) 
 Mage::dispatchEvent('m2epro_amazon_fba_magento_order_place_after', array(
 'magento_order' => $this->getParentObject()->getMagentoOrder()
 ));
 

Edit 2:

In M2Es account configuration you have to set a customer group that is used for eBay/Amazon order creation. So, for one account the customer group is always the same!

If you have more the one account you can set differnt groups (like amazon-uk, amazon-it) and use the code from above. (I haven't tested it yet, but i can do it next week)
