# Custom Order Status by TycheSoftwares

#### Step 1: Manage custom order status

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

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

{% hint style="info" %}
Feel free to edit email subject/heading and use the email tags provided in the custom order status plugin. For the rest of email template, you can customize it all in YayMail builder.
{% 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.
