    Hi @boomalex,

    First of all, sorry for the late answer to your question.

    You need to add a function like this for all shortcodes that you need in your email template.

    However, you don’t have to use the original shortcode in your email template, but e.g. [ukvd_getbasicitem_make].

    Hope this helps. If not, feel free to reply here and I’ll to help you.

    I’m currently working on a version of the plugin that provides a user interface for adding shortcodes to the system, instead of having to add custom PHP code.

    Best regards,

    Tobias
