Add estimated delivery date to order confirmation email.

[Hippada]

Greetings, 

I am using the Estimated Delivery Date - Plus app and was wondering if there is a way to include the estimated delivery date from the widget in my order confirmation email? Seems like a simple fix but having trouble finding a solution. If there are any other suggestions out there, would appreciate it.

Hi @Hippada ,

To add the Estimated Delivery Date - Plus app’s date to your order confirmation email:

1. Check if the app stores it in order attributes (Orders > Additional Details).

   • If yes, use this in your email template

{% for attribute in order.attributes %}
  {% if attribute.first == 'Estimated Delivery' %}
    <p>Estimated Delivery Date: {{ attribute.last }}</p>
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

 2. Check app settings for email integration or ask their support for a Liquid variable.

3. Manually estimate delivery date if the app doesn’t save it:

<p>Estimated Delivery Date: {{ order.created_at | date: "%B %d, %Y" | plus: 5 | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}</p>

Thank you for your suggestions and if my understanding is correct, the app doesn't store in the order attributes. Additionally, if I manually input the estimated delivery date then I will no longer be able to use the Shopify automation email resource. I appreciate your suggestions but it appears I will need to continue searching for a solution or workaround.
