 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to use BNFW notifications to tell a new user to make a password. I’m
   adding the shortcode into the text window and all it does is visually display
   the shortcode in the email. When I add the shortcode to a script (<?php echo 
   do_shortcode(“[example_shortcode]”); ?>) and switch between visual and text, 
   the script goes away. How do I use shortcodes in this plugin?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@prucenter25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prucenter25/),
    Thanks 
   for your message.
 * I’m not sure exactly where you’re adding the shortcodes. Can you post a link 
   to a screenshot of where you mean?
 * Please also refer to [this page](https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/adding-a-new-notification/)
   for details about how to add a notification, particularly the sections titled‘
   Subject’ and ‘Message Body’.
 * Thanks,
    Jack
