Found a nice workaround 🙂

For your information, and for other users wanting to do the same, here is what I did:

Put this in your functions.php file:

/** wp_mail filter
 *  Make sure shortcode are processed in mail body
 */
add_filter('wp_mail', function($args) {
    // Perform shortcode replace in message body
    $args['message'] = do_shortcode($args['message']);
    return $args;
}, 1, 1);

Works like a charm 🙂

I can successfully use custom notification, such as [my-custom-shortcode], with BNFW for notification like “New Post”.

However, for notification like “New User – Welcome mail”, it is not working.

I am not talking about usual shortcode like [post_content] or [user_id] (as defined in http://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/shortcodes/), which works well. I am only talking about custom shortcode that I created in my functions.php file.

As I said, this is a custom shortcode that I defined in functions.php.

Example:

function my_custom_shortcode_fn($atts, $content = null) {
    error_log("shortcode");
    ...
    return '';
}
add_shortcode('my_custom_shortcode', 'my_custom_shortcode_fn');

It works fine for notifications like New Custom Post. But not for “New User – for User”
