# Register New Elements

1. Backend Implementation (PHP)\
   \
   To register new emails, developers should use the following code:<br>

   ```php
   /**
    * Register new Elements.
    *
    * @param object $element_service The service responsible for registering elements
    * @return void
    */
    function register_new_element( $element_service ) {
   	
   	$element_service->register_element( new \YourNewElement()  );

   }
   add_action( 'yaymail_register_elements', 'register_new_element' );

   // Enqueue WordPress React scripts
   function enqueue_wp_react_scripts() {
       wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-react' );
   }
   add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_wp_react_scripts' );
   ```

   \
   This code attaches to the `yaymail_register_elements` action hook. It is used to register new email templates by passing the email instance.

2. Frontend Implementation (TypeScript/React)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yaycommerce.com/yaymail/developer-zone/api/register-elements/register-new-elements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
