Here is the working steps and please follow carefully:

Yes! You can automate sending a welcome email to new vendors in Dokan using a custom code snippet. Below is a PHP function that hooks into the user registration process and sends an email to newly registered vendors.

Custom Code to Send a Welcome Email to New Vendors in Dokan

Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:

function send_welcome_email_to_new_vendor( $user_id ) {
    $user = get_userdata( $user_id );

    // Check if the user is a vendor (Dokan assigns the role "seller" to vendors)
    if ( in_array( 'seller', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
        
        $to = $user->user_email;
        $subject = "Welcome to Our Marketplace!";
        
        $message = "Hi " . $user->first_name . ",\n\n";
        $message .= "Welcome to our marketplace! We're excited to have you on board.\n";
        $message .= "You can now log in and start setting up your store.\n\n";
        $message .= "Visit your dashboard here: " . home_url('/dashboard/') . "\n\n";
        $message .= "Best,\nYour Marketplace Team";

        // Email headers
        $headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

        // Send email
        wp_mail( $to, $subject, nl2br($message), $headers );
    }
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'send_welcome_email_to_new_vendor' );

How This Works:

1. It hooks into user_register, which triggers when a new user registers.
2. It checks if the registered user has the “seller” role (Dokan assigns this role to vendors).
3. If the user is a vendor, it sends a custom welcome email with login instructions.

Optional Enhancements:

• Use wp_new_user_notification Hook if you want to integrate with WordPress’s built-in email system.
• Modify the Email Template to use HTML and make it look more professional.
• Add Attachments like a vendor guide PDF using wp_mail().

Okay guys this is it and if you will have any query then feel free to comment below.
