Order confirmation emails to different admin users based on product category

Hi,
Using Zen Cart 1.3.8a with very little customisation (nothing significant to this question).
Is it possible for Zen Cart to send order confirmation emails (copies of) from specific categories to specific people?
i.e. in our store we have a Membership Packages category and a Regalia category, and I would like order emails sent to the specific person responsible for dispatching goods from each category.
If not Zen Cart, does anyone know of a modification which will allow this?
Regards,
Allen

If it is the manufacturers_id, then you could build in a new field for the email address into the manufacturers table and base the emails on that ...

Otherwise, you could do something similar with the categories table and perhaps relate that to the master_categories_id of the Product to build the email from ...

Re: Order confirmation emails to different admin users based on product category

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not a programmer/php whiz/SQL whiz so that would probably be beyond me.
Thanks anyway. I'm surprised it's not be requested before though, seems like a fairly obvious requirement to me.:mellow:
