I have one custom question that I would like to include in a pending or successfully email template.
Question Text: Have you already auditioned for the choir you are selecting?
Question Label(admin-only): returning-singer

How do I add this to the email template to the admin?

The Event Admin context for the Registration Approved message should already include all of the custom questions (and answers) requested during the registration.

We don’t have a shortcode to pull in the text for a specific question simply because to pull in the question you need to use the question text, so it would be:

[QUESTION_*Have you already auditioned for the choir you are selecting?]

Which would output…

Have you already auditioned for the choir you are selecting?

So its expected that you would just include the text within the message question as it’s the same.

We do however have a shortcode to pull in the answer for a specific question, that shortcode is [ANSWER_*].

To tell the shortcode which question to pull the answer for you add the question text to that shortcode in the same was as above:

[ANSWER_*Have you already auditioned for the choir you are selecting?]

So… you could go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default Message Templates -> Registration Approved -> Event Admin.

Then within your Event Admin message template (be it custom or default) you can use:

Have you already auditioned for the choir you are selecting?: [ANSWER_*Have you already auditioned for the choir you are selecting?]

To display the answer for that question, like this – http://take.ms/vPaKs

However as mentioned by default that message template should include all custom questions (the [QUESTION_LIST] shortcode you see in my screenshot outputs all custom questions), do you not see those in the email?
