We have this mu-plugin but it’s from ACF shortcode, it might require a slight modification for your shortcode: * ``` $atts, 'custom_acf_free_pdf' ); // Get the value of the ACF field named 'free_pdf' from the specified post ID $pdf_link = get_field( 'free_pdf', $atts['post_id'] ); // Check if the field has a value if( $pdf_link ) { // Return the value wrapped in an anchor tag return 'Download PDF'; } else { // If the field doesn't have a value, return nothing return ''; } } add_shortcode( 'custom_acf_free_pdf', 'custom_acf_free_pdf_shortcode' ); add_filter( 'hustle_parsed_success_message', function( $message, $module_id, $type, $data ) { // Pass the current post object to the shortcode: if ( empty( $GLOBALS['post'] ) && ! empty( $data['post_id'] ) ) { $GLOBALS['post'] = get_post( $data['post_id'] ); } // Apply the shortcodes: $message = apply_shortcodes( $message ); return $message; }, 10, 4 ); ``` * Let us know. Thanks. * Best regards, Laura * Thread Starter [narol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narol/) * (@narol) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-into-email/#post-17742034) * For the moment this is just a test, an example, but I’ve tried the ‘One-Time File Download’ plugin.

They’ll look into it and if there is some workaround for this, we’ll let you know. * Note: I’d appreciate some patience. Our developers are dealing with a lot of complex tasks on daily basis so their response time may be a bit longer than ours is. We’ll update you here once we got feedback. * Best regards, Adam * Plugin Support [Laura – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support8/) * (@wpmudev-support8) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-into-email/#post-17743839) * Hi [@narol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narol/) * It seems that there is a solution for this. It will require a bit of custom code to be added to the site. * Here is the code: * ``` $subject ) { return $args; } $args['message'] = do_shortcode( $args['message'] ); return $args; } ``` * To add it to the site: * 1. create an empty file with a .php extension (e.g. “hustle-shortcode-in-mail. php”) in the “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress install on the server * 2. copy above code and paste it into that file * 3. in this line of the code * `$subject = "YOUR_SUBJECT_HERE"; // set to be the same as your e-mail subject` * replace YOUR_SUBJECT_HERE with an actual subject that you set for e-mail in “ Automated Email” configuration of your popup; note that it must be identical ( that applies even to upper/lower case) and it cannot include any “variable” parts– it must be a “fixed” subject; it’s very important. * 4. save the file * 5. add your shortcode to the “Email body” content of the “Automated Email” configuration. * Then it should work out of the box. I don’t have access to the same “One Time File Download” plugin but I tested it with different download plugin and it worked just fine. * Best regards, Adam * [Kris – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport13/) * (@wpmudevsupport13) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-into-email/#post-17764553) * Hi [@narol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narol/) * We haven’t heard from you in a while, I’ll go and mark this thread as resolved.
