Admin email notifications when new customer register

Question

I want that when a new customer is registered on the my magento site, the admin was notified by email of the new customer registration. Tell us how to do it better? Thanks

Answer 1

You can create an observer on the customer_register_success event.

Then access the customer object in your model:

public function my_cool_function($observer)
{
    $customer = $observer->getEvent()->getCustomer();

    //Do whatever you want here
}

And here is some reading about how to create an email template and programmatically send it: http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/magento-custom-emails/

Answer 2

The customer activation module from Vinai not only has this functionality but also allows you to specify the template used when emailing the admin user on customer registration.

It has a nice admin interface and can be set up on a store level.

In the background is uses the event customer_save_after

If you are using Magento 2 and want to stay informed about all the events in your store, you can try this extension by Magenest:http://store.magenest.com/magento-2-admin-email-notification.html
It cover a lots of key events like new registration, new order, new review... The email you receive will also contain basic information about the event. Here is a template email when a customer register to your store:
