Since social media are creating storms in the e-commerce world, is email still a good portal to communicate with customers? Numbers say it all. In 2023, over 4.3 billions people are still using emails and the email marketing revenue reached $10.89 billion. We can see that email is still in the game and it brings back significant profits to businesses.

However, the Magento 2 default only supports limited aspects of email, such as:

  • Welcome email
  • Forgot Password email
  • Order Confirmation email
  • Invoice email
  • Shipment email
  • Credit memo email
  • Newsletter subscription email

In case you want to send a more personalized email for special occasions, the default version can not meet your requirements. Don’t worry! We will give you the solution right away.

        TransportBuilder $transportBuilder,
        StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        StateInterface $state
    )

        $this->inlineTranslation = $state;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    public function sendEmail()
    {
        // this is an example and you can change template id,fromEmail,toEmail,etc as per your need.
        $templateId = 'my_custom_email_template'; // template id
        $fromEmail = 'owner@domain.com';  // sender Email id
        $fromName = 'Admin';             // sender Name
        $toEmail = 'customer@email.com'; // receiver email id

        try {
            // template variables pass here
            $templateVars = [
                'msg' => 'test',
                'msg1' => 'test1'
            ];

            $storeId = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getId();

            $from = ['email' => $fromEmail, 'name' => $fromName];
            $this->inlineTranslation->suspend();

            $storeScope = \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE;
            $templateOptions = [
                'area' => \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND,
                'store' => $storeId
            ];
            $transport = $this->transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier($templateId, $storeScope)
                ->setTemplateOptions($templateOptions)
                ->setTemplateVars($templateVars)
                ->setFrom($from)
                ->addTo($toEmail)
                ->getTransport();
            $transport->sendMessage();
            $this->inlineTranslation->resume();
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $this->_logger->info($e->getMessage());
