Hi,

Is it possible to set a message field that will contain some information about the post such as the author, the post title, etc.

If I could use some “placeholders” like, for example %AUTHOR% or something like that it would be great…

T.I.A,
Yuval.

You could do this and then you can use an acf/format_value filter https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfformat_value/ to replace the placeholders with the values that you want. Additional hooks are also available for name and key like other field hooks but they are not documented on the page I linked to.
