 * Can I create a shortcode to display data input from a CRM plugin? I want to use
   shortcodes to display the contact info from a CRM plugin. For example the user
   inputs their name and address. How can I make shortcodes to pull the data from
   those fields and display in another post using the shortcodes?

 * Hi [@suitedconnector](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suitedconnector/),
 * With shortcoder plugin, you can create a shortcode for code snippets like HTML,
   CSS, JS, other shortcodes.
 * So if your shortcode content is a “HTML form” then yes, you can paste the HTML
   code.
    or if the CRM plugin provides a shortcode to display user data then you
   can use that too.
 * One thing to note is that shortcoder does not support PHP code. Only static content
   like HTML, CSS, JS are supported. But you can use JS to pull data and fill the
   form as needed but that is something beyond the plugins scope. The CRM plugin
   can help you with that.
 * Please share more details with screenshots if I had misunderstood.
 * Thanks,

 * The data that I want is entered into a form. Could I simply view the populated
   results of the form and copy that html content from the inspector? Do you have
   a tutorial for this?

 * Hi [@suitedconnector](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suitedconnector/),
 * I’m sorry but I still couldn’t get your scenario.
 * Lets ignore shortcode for now, say you want to display the content without shortcode
   how would you display that content in a post ? Is that a HTML ?
 * Any peek at the content you are using currently ?
 * In the image below, you have to put some HTML/CSS/JS for which you are creating
   a shortcode for. What would that be ?

 * Please check this video > [https://youtu.be/BQMM7J7SuHA](https://youtu.be/BQMM7J7SuHA)
 * I’m not sure which code to copy.

 * Hi [@suitedconnector](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suitedconnector/),
 * Sorry for the late reply.
 * I saw the video. I’m afraid if we can’t embed that form unless the CRM plugin
   itself provides a way i.e via a shortcode.
 * We can’t copy paste the HTML you have mentioned because it is a form generated
   under the administration page..
 * Can you please check once with the CRM plugin author to see if they allow embedding
   the form anywhere else ?
 * Thanks,
    Aakash
