Hi Candis,

When I add the questions shortcode, I get the attendees info at the top of the e-mail along with the same info in the body of the e-mail.

Where are you adding the questions shortcode?

We have the [QUESTION_LIST] shortcode which lists all the custom questions assigned to an attendee. If you edit the message type (in this example we’ll use the Registration Approved, event admin context – http://take.ms/JQgXB) within Event Espresso -> Messages.

Then scroll down to the last content box, which will be for [QUESTION_LIST] – http://take.ms/Abkph

Basically what QUESTION_LIST does is loop through each custom question assigned to a attendee and outputs the content of that box for each question. So currently it simply outputs:

Question: *question*
Answer: *answer*

http://take.ms/t7OE3

By default [QUESTION_LIST] should already be included within your templates and outputting a list of questions for each attendee. [QUESTION_LIST] should be within the [ATTENDEE_LIST] as each attendee will have different answers for their questions.

If you could provide a screenshot of your current template and further details of what you would like to output we can advise further.

Hi,

The proper format for the dynamic answer shortcode is using the exact question display text. So if the question display text was “Do you like cheese?” then the shortcode would be [ANSWER_*Do you like cheese?]

Notice by exact, we mean spaces, special chars, etc.
