I would like to find a way to use Messages/email a person who registers and/or pays for others. We have teachers and admin assistants gain access to our WP/EE site with a username, complete and pay for registrations and their contact info is not contained in Primary Registrant or Additional Registrant. Their contact info is captured in later questions. How can I use Messages to send a confirmation email to them the moment they finalize registrations. Is this a shortcode situation? Is this a custom programmer situation?

Hi there,

The answer to this depends very much on the specific of what this mean:

Their contact info is captured in later questions.

How do you capture their info if its not within the Primary or Additional registrant info?

Is there an event I can register onto to view the setup?

Here is the shortlink. https://skillscanada.bc.ca/?p=17539
The question “Teacher/Instructor Contact Information” is an example of an email address I would like to use Messages to send a Registration Confirmation or Payment Received Template to.

Hi there,

You should be able to do this using a shortcode.

Your registration question mentioned above is set up on every registration so the way I would do this is using the [RECIPIENT_ANSWER_*] shortcode.

You pass the ‘Question Text’ of whatever the registration question is to that shortcode after the *, so yours would be:

[RECIPIENT_ANSWER_*Teacher/Instructor Contact Information]

You can add that to the CC field of the emails your want to send over.

For example for Registration Approved:

Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default Message Templates -> Registration Approve -> Registrant

Like so: https://monosnap.com/file/XGTWfGjusSABzgqWRXZhICB8Jwm5dx

Save and test a registration, inputting an email address you want to CC into that field, does it work how you are requesting?

I’ve re-opened and merged your threads.

For screenshot you need to host the image and post a link here.

Some examples:
