Creating Custom FUE Variable for Emails

[Chris]

I notice that with follow up emails I can include event specific merge tags(https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/automated-follow-up-emails-docs/email-variables-and-merge-tags/#section-14) in the emails. I’m wondering if you might know how to create a custom variable for FUE using a custom field we created that includes a link to a webinar?

We’d like to include that custom field in the in follow up email that gets sent out a few days prior to the webinar.

I found this https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/automated-follow-up-emails-docs/custom-variables/ but not quite sure if it’s possible.

Thanks

Hi Chris!

I’m afraid we can’t offer guidance in relation to custom coding with Follow-up Emails, as that isn’t our plugin.

Extracting the custom field value (if you are using “regular” WordPress custom fields) ought to be easy enough, though, by using get_post_meta() — the use of which would be something like:

get_post_meta( $event_id, ‘_your_custom_field_name’, true );

Good luck with the project — and if you discover anything useful that might help other FUE users it would be great to hear back from you 🙂
