How to have order status info and updates send to 2 email addresses automatically

Hi can anyone help me . I have created an extra field at sign up for a secondary email address and would like order updates to email this address as well as the customers primary address automatically.

Hope this makes sense.

Clients would like for example there manager and there accountant to receive order info changes automatically.

I am thinking this is a case of knowing where to edit the code to select the second email address from the extra from field as well as the primary and email to both of them.

Simply set those email addresses according to the format described in the appropriate fields in Admin->Configuration->Email Options.

Hi thanks for you reply . I can do that I think maybe I have not made clear what i wish to do. When i refer to 2 email addresses to the client I am refering to the purchaser of the product.i run invoice accounts and those client would like there order status etc to go to 2 email addresses. Hope this clears up what I am trying to do.

I'm still not exactly sure what you want to do, but if you're technically-minded, DrByte offered some ideas here, I think:

no, stevesh took it way further.

I was hoping not to have to go into my admin and copy the help text to repeat it here on the forum:

Send Copy of Admin Orders Status Emails To
Send copy of Admin Orders Status emails to the following email addresses, in this format: Name 1 email@address1, Name 2 email@address2

See the pattern? Simply follow the pattern, and it will send to all the addresses you list.

Thanks Dr Byte but that is not what I wish to do I need to be able to send a copy of all orders for a particular company eg Joe Blogs when they confirm an order.
Example: Joe blogs orders 1 widget and confirms the order. Joe blogs email is [email protected] which is the email he used to set his account up. I need to be able to add a second email to his account so as the customer Joe Blogs has a primary email [email protected] and a secondary email [email protected].
Then when orders are confirmed both email get confirmations and order updates.

Hope this makes sense

Oh. I thought you were referring to extra emails for people running your store.
Very unusual for customers to want to get multiple duplicates of emails about their orders.

You'll need to write your own custom code to send emails to the other addresses. The code that sends order-confirmation of the original sale is in /includes/classes/order.php, and the admin side which sends status updates from your store administrator is in /admin/orders.php
