In the template for RECEIPT, I’d like to replace [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_REGISTRATION_DATE] with today’s date. Is this possible?

Second choice would be replacing it with the payment date.

Hi there,

We don’t have a shortcode for today’s date within the messages currently, it is possible to create your own custom shortcodes for the message system which could then parse to today’s date easily enough. However, if you use that and then retrigger a message at any point the user will receive the current date in that new message, won’t that cause confusion for your users?

The payment date could also be done but again you’ll need a custom shortcode for that as we don’t have a shortcode to pull that value outside of the payment emails.

Are you comfortable with PHP?
