I have a user form with email notification.

for new user registration, I would like to send an email to both the registrar and admin. (this is done) .
I have included some fields value in the email body as you can see in the attached email. But I am receiving the notification without the value. (Please check the attached image).

Also, Every time I update the form, a new registration notification sent.
What is the issue?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Regarding the missing fields in the notification, it is expected, because the notification does not hold the context(the created/edited post). So, you will need to pass it to the shortcodes using the item attribute. https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/item-attribute/

Instead of:

[types usermeta='civil-id' user_is_author='true'][/types]

Use:

[types usermeta='civil-id' user_is_author='true' item='%%POST_ID%%'][/types]

Note that you can also create your own placeholders. Check this article https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/how-to-use-custom-placeholders-in-cred-notifications/

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your reply,

I have tried as your suggestion. But it is still now displaying the value. Check the screenshot.
Note that, This is a user form, not a post form

For user forms you need to use %%USER_USERID%% with the user_id argument instead of item argument. You can also drop the user_is_author='true' argument, it is used with posts.

[types usermeta='civil-id' user_id='%%USER_USERID%%'][/types]
