# Protected Post URL

 * I installed your plugin, protected a post, emailed the protected link to another
   computer, and it worked perfectly.
 * In the website I’m working with, I have a Gravity Form set up so that the a visitor
   can submit a question/comment/request (similar to a Support Desk) and that question
   is published as a post. I wanted to keep the post private so that only the author
   could view it. Your plugin was recommended for that purpose.
 * I am sending an email out to the author once the post is published, so I’d like
   to have that email be populated dynamically with the Protected URL for the post
   they just published. Is there a variable, shortcode, or something that I can 
   put in the outbound email so that it automatically puts the protected link there
   for them to click.
 * Thanks for any assistance.

 * This is possible. Try using the `ppt_make_permalink($post)` function built into
   the plugin.
 *     ```
       global $post;
       $url = ppt_make_permalink($post);
       ```
