Go to Loco Translate Plugins Notification for Telegram to add your translations.
For WPML, ensure String Translation is enabled to modify notification texts.
ACTION HOOK for third-party Plugin
Notification for Telegram (version > 3.5.1) exposes a dedicated action hook so any third-party plugin can send messages without calling internal functions directly.

?><h3>WOOCOMMERCE FILTER HOOKS</h3>
We have created 4 filter hooks for WooCommerce order notification message. 4 new positions: Message Header, Message Footer, before Items, and after Items. And we have created a filter through which you can add custom code to product rows, and if you want, you can replace and customize the entire row. :
4 new Positions and code axample ( echo payment_status in the 4 positions)
<?php
add_filter('nftb_order_header_message_hook', 'my_filter_function', 10, 1);
add_filter('nftb_order_before_items_hook', 'my_filter_function', 10, 1);
add_filter('nftb_order_after_items_hook', 'my_filter_function', 10, 1);
add_filter('nftb_order_footer_message_hook', 'my_filter_function', 10, 1);
function my_filter_function($order_id) {
$order = wc_get_order($order_id);
if ($order) {
// Get order details
$order_data = $order->get_data();
// Extract specific order information
$payment_status = $order->get_status();
$payment_method = $order->get_payment_method();
}
return "rnrn".$payment_method."(".$payment_status.")rn" ;
}
?>
Product rows Filter with 2 different behaviors ADD or REPLACE LINE
<?php
add_filter('nftb_order_product_line_hook', 'my_item_line_function', 10, 3);
function my_item_line_function($message ,$product_id, $item) {
// ADD SOME CODE $product_id TO ORIGINAL row $message.
$modified_data = $message. "->".$product_id. "rn";
// REPLACE Product ITEM LINE CODE WITH YOUR CODE without concatenate $message.
$modified_data = $product_id. "rn";
return $modified_data;
}
?><h3>USER LOGIN FILTER HOOKS</h3>
<?php
// Triggered on successful user login
add_filter( 'nftb_login_notification', 'custom_message_modifier', 10, 1 );
// Triggered on new user registration
add_filter( 'nftb_user_registered_notification', 'custom_message_modifier', 10, 1 );
// Triggered when an existing user fails to login
add_filter( 'nftb_existing_user_fails_login_notification', 'custom_message_modifier', 10, 1 );
// Triggered when an unknown user fails to login
add_filter( 'nftb_unknown_user_fails_login_notification', 'custom_message_modifier', 10, 1 );
// Example: append the user registration date to the notification
function custom_message_modifier( $user_id ) {
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );
if ( $user_info ) {
$registration_date = $user_info->user_registered;
$timestamp = strtotime( $registration_date );
$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::LONG, IntlDateFormatter::LONG, 'UTC' );
$formatter->setPattern( 'd MMMM y HH:mm:ss' );
$formatted_date = $formatter->format( $timestamp );
$message = "rnrnUser Registration Date: " . $formatted_date . "rnrn";
} else {
$message = "rnNo info available for this user.rn";
}
return $message;
}
?><h3>LEGACY FUNCTIONS (kept for backward compatibility)</h3>
Before hooks were introduced, 3 overridable functions allowed message customization without editing plugin code. These are still supported but we encourage migrating to hooks.
1) Before the product list — example: prepend the Order ID
<?php
function nftb_order_before_items( $order_id ) {
return "ORDER ID: " . $order_id;
}
?>
2) After the product list — example: append the order currency
<?php
function nftb_order_after_items( $order_id ) {
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$data = $order->get_data();
return "Currency: " . $data['currency'];
}
?>
3) At the end of each product line — example: append the product slug
<?php
function nftb_order_product_line( $product_id, $item ) {
$product = wc_get_product( $product_id );
return " | " . $product->get_slug() . " ";
}
?>
Suggestions for new notifications, hooks, and plugin integrations are always welcome!
