Shortcode post_id function for custom post type name?

Hi I am having to use multiple shortcodes on several pages as Divi theme isn’t playing nicely.
So when using about 100 on a page like this: [acf field="about_page_title" post_id="277888"]
When I am moving hosts and exporting the pages and importing back in on the new clients website I am worried about this post_id number changing.

So I am trying to get a function that will enable a custom post type name e.g. aboutcontacts to use instead of id number.

I have seen a plugin using this:

global $post;
$fieldValue =  get_field($attrs['field'], $post->ID);
// var_dump($fieldValue);
echo $this->container['acf_shortcode']->formatField($fieldValue, $attrs);

Is there a way that I can create a shortcode that

if( 'your_post_type' == $post->post_type ) {
        return $post->ID;
    }

Then to create a new shortcode function based on this so that it won’t break when exporting importing pages.

Sorry newbie with this, any help would be appreciated.
