How to Include Reviewer Comments in Acceptance Emails
Last updated Jul 9, 2026
Question
Is there a shortcode or method to include reviewer comments in acceptance letters sent to authors through Dryfta?
Answer
Dryfta does not support including reviewer comments directly in the manually sent acceptance letters via the Acceptance letter builder.
However, reviewer comments can be included in the automated acceptance email notification, which is triggered by changing the submission status to "accepted." This automated notification contains the shortcode for reviewers' comments and will be sent automatically to authors.
To ensure authors receive reviewer comments, send acceptance letters without comments manually, then rely on the automated acceptance email notification for reviewer comments.
