Tell us what you are trying to do?

Hello, I am trying to insert Post Form's fields in the E-mail notification. In fact, I just need to send "the copy" of the Post Form to the author = current user.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-use-custom-placeholders-in-cred-notifications/

Unfortunately, I'm quite lost what exactly to put to the notification's body text and what to put to the functions.php

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Here I have the example of my fields in the Post Form body:

<div class="form-group">
<label>Název týmu</label>
[cred_field field='post_title' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>

<div class="form-group">
<label>Škola (celý název)</label>
[cred_field field='skola-cely-nazev' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>

<div class="form-group">
<label>Ulice a č. p.</label>
[cred_field field='ulice-a-c-p' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>

So I want to send the e-mail notification:

"Hello, here is the content of your submitted form:

Název týmu: xxx
Škola: xxx
Ulice a č. p: xxx

Take care!"

Many thanks for your help!
Best,

Jiri

Dear Jiri,

In your case, it does not need any custom PHP codes, you can use Types shortcode [types] to render the custom fields, for example:

Název týmu: %%POST_TITLE%%
Škola: [types field="skola-cely-nazev"][/types]
Ulice a č. p: [types field="ulice-a-c-p"][/types]
