Paypal payment pro PayPal express order not sending confirmation email in Magento - magento-1.9

Question

I have a very long standing issue with PayPal Payments Pro in magento. If a customer places an order using PayPal express they don't receive the order email. If a customer pays with card they get it with no problems.
I have spent a lot of time investigating this with no joy at all. I am wondering if other people have had the same issue and if anyone has managed to solve it. I am running magento community 1.9.2.
The IPN seems to be working properly, and there are no orders in the email que.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

PayPal Payment Pro not send confirmation email facility.But you can achieve it by creating observer after payment receive.
You may use event checkout_onepage_controller_success_action. This can be used if your order success.
There is another event sales_order_payment_pay. This can be used if your order success. It may also use in your case.
1 ) Make custom config.xml for call observer file
The config.xml defines your module and declares your event listener for a given event (checkout_onepage_controller_success_action is sent when onepage checkout process is complete, sales_order_payment_pay is sent when the payment has been confirmed).
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Namespace_Modulename>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</Namespace_Modulename>
</modules>
<frontend>
<events>
<sales_order_payment_pay>
<observers>
<Namespace_Modulename_Customevent>
<type>singleton</type>
<class>Namespace_Modulename_Model_Observer</class>
<method>customFunction</method>
</Namespace_Modulename_Customevent>
</observers>
</sales_order_payment_pay>
</events>
</frontend>
</config>
2 ) create observer.php file inside your module/Model directory and paste this code
<?php
class Namespace_Modulename_Model_Observer
{
public function customFunction(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$order_id = $observer->getData('order_ids');
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($order_id);
//your code here
}
}
Hope It's helpful for you.
