Gift certificates emails not sent to recipient?

[philroche]

Hi Guys,

For any devs that might be reading - I installed satchmo for the first
time this weekend and having worked with many e-commerce atore and
Satchmo is definitely the best I have worked with. Good work.

My question relates to Gift Certificates, I have a gift certificate
product but when I purchase it the recipient (email and name entered
on the product page) never receives an email with the cert. Is this
intentional or have I missed something.

If it's intentional I presume I can listen for the order_success
signal and check for product type and then send the email myself.

Cheers,

Phil

It is less intentional and more "we haven't gotten around to it". I'm
sure we'd accept a patch, possibly using a signal as you describe.
