I have an option page where you can save an email body text to send out to customers. To make it personal I use shortcodes within the body text like this:
Dear [yl_first_name],
How are you today?
Kind regards,
Team X

The email sends out with WordPress cronjob and all works fine except for 1 thing:
Because ‘officially’ the FIRST NAME is NOT called in the below WordPress loop >> Its the shortcode that is called (via the option page) in the loop…
I always get the same name value (latest post in line).
Here’s my EMAIL SEND code:
// Follow-up e-mail met reviewverzoek
function yl_follow_up_email_review_function() {
$review_days_after = get_field(‘booking_settings_review_delay’, ‘booking_settings’);
$review_url = get_field(‘booking_settings_review_url’, ‘booking_settings’);
if ($review_days_after && $review_url) {
$bookings = array(
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘post_type’ => ‘booking’,
‘meta_query’ => array(
‘relation’ => ‘AND’,
array(
‘key’ => ‘booking_status’,
‘value’ => array(‘confirmed’, ‘changed’),
‘compare’ => ‘IN’,
),
array(
‘key’ => ‘booking_send_mail’,
‘value’ => ‘ja’,
‘compare’ => ‘=’,
),
),
);
// De Query
$query = new WP_Query($bookings);
// De Loop
if ($query->have_posts()) {
while ($query->have_posts()) {
$query->the_post();
// Controleer of de poststatus ‘publish’ is
if (get_post_status() == ‘publish’) {
// Verkrijg aangepaste velden van de huidige boeking
$to = get_field(‘booking_email’);
// Zorg ervoor dat deze velden bestaan in je booking_settings
$booking_settings_id = ‘booking_settings’; // De ID van de booking settings post
$sender_name = get_field(‘booking_email_from_name’, $booking_settings_id);
$sender_email = get_field(‘booking_email_from_email_address’, $booking_settings_id);
$subject = get_field(‘booking_email_subject_review’, $booking_settings_id);
$message = get_field(‘booking_email_message_review’, $booking_settings_id); // the above body text with the shortcode inside
$headers = array(
‘From: ‘ . $sender_name . ‘ <‘ . $sender_email . ‘>’,
‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8’
);
// Verzend de e-mail en log eventuele fouten
if (wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
error_log(“Email successfully sent to $to for booking ID: ” . get_the_ID());
} else {
error_log(“Failed to send email to $to for booking ID: ” . get_the_ID());
}
// Update met nieuwe waarde
update_field(‘booking_status’, ‘completed’);
// Pauzeer 10 seconden voordat de volgende e-mail wordt verzonden
sleep(10);
}
// Reset de postdata
wp_reset_postdata();
}
}
}
}
add_action(‘yl_follow_up_email_review’, ‘yl_follow_up_email_review_function’);
The Shortcode code:
// Get ACF ‘First name’ values via shortcode
function yl_booking_first_name_shortcode() {
global $post; // Haal de globale $post variabele op
return get_field(‘booking_first_name’, $post->ID);
}
add_shortcode(‘yl_booking_first_name’,’yl_booking_first_name_shortcode’);

So how can I change the code so the correct name in each email is showing?
