CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to include custom Participant fields in my event confirmation emails. I have some custom fields in my Participant records that get calculated and set on event registration. I'd like to include these values in the confirmation emails that go out to users after they register.

If it's easier, I'm also happy to set up a separate email with just this information in it, as long as it gets sent at the same time or even the same day as my confirmation emails. Unfortunately, I'm finding the mail template system among the more impenetrable parts of Civi.

Hi Donald - I added this to my module:

function XXX_civicrm_tokens(&$tokens) {
  dsm($tokens);
}

to check what's in the tokens array. When I register for an event, the hook runs, but I see an empty array, no tokens or anything at all. Does that make sense?

What occurs to me is that, for now, I require people to be logged in to register for events, so I could find their ContactID from their Drupal UID, then grab that person's LAST participant record.
