# Shortcode for post-excerpt…

 * I was sending a new post notification to the list of subscribers, selecting the
   post (great feature!) and put the shortcode for a post excerpt into the textfield
   as newsletter content. Which led to the excerpt being sent as well as the complete
   postcontent beneath it. I wonder how to send only the excerpt, because if I do
   not select the post how would the newsletter know of which post to take the excerpt?

 * Hi, if you add `[POST-EXCERPT]` inside newsletter content, it should be replaced
   by post excerpt only. If the post excerpt is empty, the first part of post content
   will be used instead.
    Are you using a newsletter theme? Maybe in that theme 
   there is also the `[POST-CONTENT]` placeholder that prints the newsletter content.

 * Ah, yes, I did not get that, that the same shortcodes could also be in the template…
   There is [CONTENT] and beneath that [POST-CONTENT] so it came out both… Thanks
   🙂
