Actually, I can just show you both.

So in Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default message tyemplates -> Not Approved Registration

You have 2 ‘blue’ links right? One shows ‘Edit Event Admin’ and the other ‘Edit Primary Registrant’

The important point is they are not grey. If either/both of them are, that context is disabled by either the toggle at the top of the editor when edit it, or the ‘To’ field is set to nothing.

So, in the Event Admin context, go to the [ATTENDEE_LIST] section.

There you want to add something like:

<li>
    <strong>Single Answer</strong></br>
    Test 29: [ANSWER_*Test 29]
</li>

[ANSWER_*Test 29] on my site calls the answer to a question with the question text set to ‘Test 29’, your shortcode will be different (as will the ‘leading text’ before it.

Add that before the closing </ul> and <hr/> tag, like so – https://monosnap.com/file/gG1mr8LnAF1MypMSDIolXu5jN3Cs6g

The ANSWER_* shortcodes need the question text passed after the * and it must match exactly. That’s outputting the answer to a specific question and will work for all registrations in the group, not just the primary (that’s why I used ATTENDEE_LIST).

—–

If you want to output all questions/answers it’s a similar setup, but you use [QUESTION_LIST], there is a difference but I’ll explain in a second so in place of the above you would need:

<li>
    <strong>Questions</strong>
    <ul>[QUESTION_LIST]</ul>
</li>

The _LIST shortcodes basically call the sections in the template and loop over that section for each element it relates to. So in this case [QUESTION_LIST] uses the QUESTION_LIST section at the bottom of the page and whatever you set there it does for each question linked to the current recipient/attendee.

By default that will be empty so add something like this:

<li>[QUESTION] : [ANSWER]</li>

You can add additional html tags if preferred, but that section now goes over every question and outputs {question text} : {answer} in a UL (hence the ul around the shortcode in attendee list and the li’s in this section.

Save the template and retrigger a registration message, you’ll see something like this: https://monosnap.com/file/boEiQUmxHFXXFvh07GVr4X67Jm7OBe

Answers:
[QUESTION_LIST] “I see the word” Answers “but nothing else.

What do you have in the QUESTION_LIST section?

Great.

Just to note for any future readers, there are only 2 valid shortcodes for the QUESTION_LIST section.

[QUESTION] & [ANSWER]

If you click on the icon next to each individual section you can see the shortcodes valid for that section.

You can obviously use additional HTML markup in those sections but the message system has its own valid shortcodes and each section has specific shortcodes that are valid.
