 * Hello – I was wondering if it was possible to pass the custom field value (in
   the free version) to the email notification (like the other email post variables)?
 * thanks! – george

 * Hi george, I don’t think there currently is a shortcode to include the custom
   field in email alerts. It is a great idea though and I will add the feature in
   the next plugin update. Thank you for the feedback!

 * Just to follow up, the next version of USP provides a shortcode to display the
   custom field in email alerts:
 * `%%custom_field%%`
 * Enjoy!
