# Custom Order Status by TycheSoftwares

How to use YayMail Pro with Custom Order Status plugin

#### Step 1: Manage custom order status

You can add new, edit, and manage order statuses in the Custom Order Status plugin's panel.

![Add a new order status called "Shipping delayed"](https://157604815-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MJfBhHG_1ipE5lMX4qT%2Fuploads%2FUk0mAygTkBILxnvFxdLD%2FCreate-new-custom-order-status-in-WooCommerce.jpeg?alt=media\&token=d629e7f2-f352-485d-8128-9a9c6924ca4e)

Once the status has been changed, it will automatically send an email to the customer.

![Update a placed order with the "Shipping delayed" status](https://157604815-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MJfBhHG_1ipE5lMX4qT%2Fuploads%2FvjyqamvDOMbmmIHU90rG%2Fshipping-delayed-order-status-example.jpeg?alt=media\&token=23fffea5-ad67-4e07-b454-5ba123f598c0)

Email subject and heading can be changed within the Custom Order Status plugin.

![Edit email subject and enable order status update email](https://157604815-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MJfBhHG_1ipE5lMX4qT%2Fuploads%2Fyu2MyVQpbWbhp4O2mUcW%2FEdit-custom-order-status-email-content.jpeg?alt=media\&token=02615451-86ec-42ac-a50e-0e77e0ba16f6)

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

#### Step 2: Design custom order status email

After you successfully set up a new order status, you will see a new email template nested under the template selector.

Please go ahead and choose a template, which is Shipping delayed like shown below.

In this template, you can add as many blocks as you like. For a custom announcement, you can add a **Text** block and use **shortcode** to output the details that you have set up in the Custom Order Status plugin.
