Notify admin via email when order is placed in magento

Is there a way to Notify admin via email when order is placed in magento? I feel like this is a silly question but I'm placing test orders currently and I'm not getting any email notification.

Will the order also get an email notification by default or does the admin have to click the "invoice button" each time an order comes in?

Go to System -> Configuration -> Select Store email addresses and change the Sales representative's email address.

Then go to Left Naviagation > Sales > Sales Emails and ensure that it is set for Sales representative.

Also just check that you've done this on the main site.

Once configured...

Are you sure that email is being sent?

<?php
 $to = "[email protected]";
 $subject = "Hi!";
 $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
 if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
   echo("sent!");
  } else {
   echo("failed");
  }
?>

also check your /var/log/maillog for messages.

In the magento backend goto 

System > Configuration

Left Naviagation > Sales > Sales Emails this option will let you configure mail sending settings where you can ask magento to send you mail whenever an order is placed.

Alternatively, you can create a plugin with an observer which listens to the event of the order being placed and you can write your mail sending code in the observer.
