Disable WooCommerce email notification for specific product - notifications

Question

I can refer to this function to disable email notification:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/unhookremove-woocommerce-emails/
But I would like to disable it only for a specific product or, if it can be more simple, for a specific product category.
Thanks for your help

Thanks to #vidish-purohit for the help!
Here is my code to use if you need to disable admin email notification for a specific product:
function change_email_recipient_depending_of_product_id( $recipient, $order ) {
global $woocommerce;
$items = $order->get_items();
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
$product_id = $item['product_id'];
if ( $product_id == xxx ) {
$recipient = '';
}
return $recipient;
}
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_new_order', 'change_email_recipient_depending_of_product_id', 10, 2 );
And if you need to disable customer email notification for a specific product:
function change_email_recipient_depending_of_product_id( $recipient, $order ) {
global $woocommerce;
$items = $order->get_items();
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
$product_id = $item['product_id'];
if ( $product_id == xxx ) {
$recipient = '';
}
return $recipient;
}
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_customer_processing_order', 'change_email_recipient_depending_of_product_id', 10, 2 );

I think when you try to hook email notification from template, where you can find order, at that time emails are already sent.
You can try one thing - using recipient's hook you can remove recipient email and return empty string. Or if empty string triggers error, then you can give some dummy email.
Use this code for this:
// Change new order email recipient for registered customers
function wc_change_admin_new_order_email_recipient( $recipient, $order ) {
global $woocommerce;
// check if product in order
if ( true ) ) {
$recipient = "";
} else {
$recipient = "newbusiness#yourdomain.com";
}
return $recipient;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_email_recipient_new_order', 'wc_change_admin_new_order_email_recipient', 1, 2);
// Change new order email recipient for registered customers
function wc_change_admin_new_order_email_recipient( $recipient, $order ) {
$flagHasProduct = false;
// Get items in order
$items = $order->get_items();
// Loop for all items
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
$product_id = $item['product_id'];
// check if specific product is in order
if ( $product_id == 102 ) {
$flagHasProduct = true;
}
}
// if product is found then remove recipient
if ($flagHasProduct) {
$recipient = "";
} else {
$recipient = "newbusiness#yourdomain.com";
}
return $recipient;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_email_recipient_new_order', 'wc_change_admin_new_order_email_recipient', 1, 2);

The above code will disable the email option in the Woocommerce email setting option page.
/**
* Disable Admin email Notification for Specific Product
*/
function cstm_change_email_recipient_for_giftcard_product($recipient, $order)
{
// Bail on WC settings pages since the order object isn't yet set yet
// Not sure why this is even a thing, but shikata ga nai
$page = $_GET['page'] = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : '';
if ('wc-settings' === $page) {
return $recipient;
}
// just in case
if (!$order instanceof WC_Order) {
return $recipient;
}
$items = $order->get_items();
foreach ($items as $item) {
$product_id = $item['product_id'];
if ($product_id == xxxx) {
$recipient = '';
}
return $recipient;
}
}
add_filter('woocommerce_email_recipient_new_order', 'cstm_change_email_recipient_for_giftcard_product', 10, 2);
this code works fine in latest version of Woocommerce.
