How to get order ID in woocommerce_email_headers hook

Question

I am trying to set the email address when have a new order. And I stored the new email in wp_postmeta.

How to get the $order_id when using woocommerce_email_headers?

I need to get the order_id to use it with get_post_meta() function.

Here is my code:

function techie_custom_wooemail_headers( $headers, $object) {

    $email = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_approver_email', true );

    // Replace the emails below to your desire email
    $emails = array('eee@hotmail.com', $email);


    switch($object) {
        case 'new_order':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;
        case 'customer_processing_order':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;
        case 'customer_completed_order':
        case 'customer_invoice':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;

        default:
    }

    return $headers;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'techie_custom_wooemail_headers', 10, 2);

How do I get back the data?

Thanks.

Updated: Added compatibility with Woocommerce version 3+

I have made some tests trying to output raw data from $order object without success. After some other tests I got now the correct order ID. I have use the code below for my test to be sure. Replace the value of $your_email by your own email. Then you will receive an email with the order ID in the header name:

function testing_hook_headers( $headers, $id, $order ) {
    // The order ID | Compatibility with WC version +3
    $order_id = method_exists( $order, 'get_id' ) ? $order->get_id() : $order->id;

    $your_email = '<name@email.com>';
    $headers = "To: Order Num $order_id $your_email";
    return $headers;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'testing_hook_headers', 10, 3);

So Here is your code:

function techie_custom_wooemail_headers( $headers, $email_id, $order ) {

    // The order ID | Compatibility with WC version +3
    $order_id = method_exists( $order, 'get_id' ) ? $order->get_id() : $order->id;

    $email = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_approver_email', true );

    // Replace the emails below to your desire email
    $emails = array('eee@hotmail.com', $email);

    switch( $email_id ) {
        case 'new_order':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;
        case 'customer_processing_order':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;
        case 'customer_completed_order':
        case 'customer_invoice':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;

        default:
    }

    return $headers;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'techie_custom_wooemail_headers', 10, 3);

I havent test your code as it's particular, but you have the right manner to get order ID.

In WooCommerce version 2.3 and above they have changed the number of parameters passed to the filter

function techie_custom_wooemail_headers( $headers, $id, $object) {

    $email = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_approver_email', true );

    // Replace the emails below to your desire email
    $emails = array('eee@hotmail.com', $email);


    switch($id) {
        case 'new_order':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;
        case 'customer_processing_order':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;
        case 'customer_completed_order':
        case 'customer_invoice':
            $headers .= 'Bcc: ' . implode(',', $emails) . "\r\n";
            break;

        default:
    }

    return $headers;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'techie_custom_wooemail_headers', 10, 3);

$object - is indicate that this email is for, for example a customer, product, or email.

try to var_dump($object); exit; inside filter callback.
