How the email alerts work
Email alerts are off by default and must be enabled by an administrator. Only orders created after notifications were enabled qualify. Orders that have already been viewed are skipped, including records stored by earlier versions.
Checking for due alerts uses WP-Cron approximately every 15 minutes (it depends on site traffic and server cron configuration). The minimum allowed delay is one minute, but actual delivery timing depends on WP-Cron and the site’s email configuration.
Privacy
The plugin stores the administrative viewer’s user label, ID, timestamp and optional internal order comments in your WordPress/WooCommerce database. Email notifications are sent only when enabled, to the configured email recipients, through WordPress wp_mail() and the site’s mail infrastructure. The notification email may include the customer’s billing name, order ID/status and internal comment.
This plugin does not connect to a third-party license server and does not include external tracking or telemetry. The DITS Admin UI support notice is displayed only on the plugin settings screen, can be dismissed permanently per administrator (stored as WordPress user meta), and does not perform background external requests. agency open only if an administrator clicks their links.
