Hello,

We have a one day event with multiple sessions that people can select to go to A or B, or Not at all.. We set up custom registration fields to handle this, but would like an email that sent this information when someone registers listing those selections.

Is setting up a custom field the correct way to set this up on the registration fields? Is there a better way?

How do we add those custom fields to the notification email?

Thank you.

Hi,

Those are included in the default templates, at least in some of the default templates. May I ask which email template + recipient are you looking to add the custom field values to?

I would like to include the custom questions answers in the Registration Approved email. I added the following: [ATTENDEE_LIST],[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_QUESTION_LIST], and [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*], but nothing seems to come through when I send a test email.

The recipient(s) would be the attendee and the admin.

Hi,

Could you elaborate a bit on where/how you’re using the shortcodes? For example which template sections are the shortcodes placed in?

Hi – so I went into Event Espresso Messages > Default Message Templates > Registration Approved > Edit Event Admin and the email template looks like the following:

Registration Notification

The following attendee(s) have registered for the following event:

[EVENT_LIST]

[ATTENDEE_LIST]

[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_QUESTION_LIST]

[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*]

[INVOICE_URL]

I added in the shortcodes for list, answer and invoice, but they do not appear to be coming through on the email.

With this one:

[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*]

You actually need to put the exact text of the question immediately after the *. For example if the question is “Company Name”, then your shortcode will be:

[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*Company Name]

You can also check to see if you’re comparing the template to a different email notification. For example is the email you’re getting actually the Payment Notification email?
