Magento 2 Order Event Dispatcher Module

This Magento 2 module allows you to trigger order-related events for an existing order via a URL. This is useful when you manually create orders in the Magento database and want to trigger events for processing workflows such as inventory updates, email notifications, and more.

Features

• Trigger Magento 2 order events for an existing order ID via a URL.
• Supports events: sales_order_place_after, checkout_submit_all_after, sales_order_save_after.
• Secured with a secret key to ensure only authorized requests can trigger the events.

Install/update using Composer

Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on, and it will manage the installation or update of these libraries.

Prerequisites

Make sure Composer is properly installed in your environment. Learn more at https://getcomposer.org.

Install/Update

1. In your Magento root directory, run the following command to add the module via Composer:

   composer require butterfly-team/magento-order-event-dispatcher
   

2. Then, update your Magento setup:

   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   

Uninstalling the Module

To remove the module installed via Composer, use these commands:

1. In your Magento root directory:

   composer remove butterfly-team/magento-order-event-dispatcher
   

Securing the Endpoint with a Secret Key

To secure the endpoint, configure a secret key in Magento’s core_config_data table:

1. Add the secret key in the Magento admin:

   • Go to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer.
   • Set a value under the configuration path: butterfly/order_event_dispatcher/secret_key.

   Alternatively, add the key directly to the database:

   INSERT INTO core_config_data (scope, scope_id, path, value)
   VALUES ('default', 0, 'butterfly/order_event_dispatcher/secret_key', 'your_secret_key_here');
   

2. Replace your_secret_key_here with a secure, unique key.

Usage

To trigger order events for an existing order, use the following URL structure in your browser or API client:

http://your-magento-site.com/order_event_dispatcher/index/dispatch?order_id=<ORDER_ID>&secret=your_secret_key_here

Replace <ORDER_ID> with the actual order ID in the Magento database and your_secret_key_here with your configured secret key. The module will respond with a JSON message indicating the success or failure of the event dispatch.

Example

For an order with ID 1, access:

http://your-magento-site.com/order_event_dispatcher/index/dispatch?order_id=1&secret=your_secret_key_here

Events Triggered

• sales_order_place_after: Dispatched after an order is placed.
• checkout_submit_all_after: Dispatched after checkout submission.
• sales_order_save_after: Dispatched after an order is saved.

You can customize which events are triggered in the Dispatch.php controller file.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the module is enabled:

  php bin/magento module:status Butterfly_OrderEventDispatcher
  

• Check Magento logs (var/log/system.log and var/log/exception.log) for any errors.
