Mailer Question

Rails
1

Just a quick question:
If I have one Action Mailer set for a contact form, but I also would
like to send an email to both Admin and Customer once an order was
placed, do I need to create another Action Mailer? or do I add a
method in the order_controller.rb to send the appropriate email? or do
I do both?

Cheers,
Elle

You can add another method to your ActionMailer (model)

def admin_notification(args)
:
:
end

And add a new view admin_notification.rhtml

Then call YourActionMailer.deliver_admin_notification(your_args) from
your controller.

(Don’t know what “args” you would have)

Or specify several To’s in your existing notification.
