Admin Create New Order Observer

Question

I am trying to locate the correct observer to capture the data when the admin creates a new order. I do not want this observer to be triggered when frontend orders are placed. (Only admin backend created orders)

I have tried the following but these still get triggered if a customer places an order on the frontend.

sales_order_place_before
adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data
sales_order_save_after

Again, what is the proper observer that will be triggered if the admin creates an order and not the frontend created orders?

Answer 1

Instead of placing your event observer code into the <global> node just place it inside the <adminhtml> node in your module's config.xml file.

Answer 2

checkout_onepage_controller_success_action you can use this event for frontend order placed.
