Download shortcode in PayPal confirmation email

#1

I would like to add the restricted file download shortcode in the paypal confirmation email.

The user will pay to access a files download. There is a page they can access as a member but I would like to also have a time limited link in the confirmation email.

Putting in the shortcode in the email settings it is just sent as text.

Is it possible to do this and how?

If not, is it possible to add a direct link that will time out rather than using a short code?

Thanks

Possible, but not easy… In the email you will need to have info about the exactly file, that will be downloadable by the user, maybe can put it in the “custom” attribute in the payment shortcode. Then a custom function (that runs by a hook, just before the email is sent out) must “assemble” the right shortcode or (better) URL.
