Hi,

it is possible to add own shortcodes for the different fields (subject, to, cc, content, …) for mailing?

* We want use shortcode [event-list] also for field subject.
* We want create own shortcodes. Is this possible? If yes, how?
* We have added some new fields to the event backend via advanced custom fields.
Now we want to add some of them in the content of the mails. Is this possible? If yes, how?

Best regards,
Daniela

Hi Daniela,

* We want use shortcode [event-list] also for field subject.

You mean the EE EVENT_LIST section? That’s not going to work in the subject field.

Can you provide more details on what your trying to do? I’m assuming a list of events the registrations are for?

* We want create own shortcodes. Is this possible? If yes, how?

Yes, its possible. I have some example of doing so here:

Note those are not intended to be copy and paste solutions but examples of how you add the shortcodes and pull the data required.

* We have added some new fields to the event backend via advanced custom fields.
Now we want to add some of them in the content of the mails. Is this possible? If yes, how?

We have the [EVENT_META_*{meta_key}] shortcode which can be used to pull in event meta, however it depends on how the data is stored, if it’s a serilized object in the database the above isn’t going to work and you’ll need a custom shortcode to pull the data however ACF requires for that field type and then return the data you need.
