# edd_email_template_tags filter

**Update:** This filter is now deprecated. To create a custom email tag, please see this example code snippet [here](https://library.wpcode.com/snippet/j578kp2g/ "here")

This filter allows you to add additional template tags to the email purchase receipts.

The filter takes two parameters:

- $message – an HTML string of the email contents
- $payment\_data – an array of meta data for the payment

You can add custom template tags like this:

```
function custom_edd_email_tags($message, $payment_data) {
	$message = str_replace('{your_custom_tag}', 'replace the tag with this', $message);
	return $message;
}
add_filter('edd_email_template_tags', 'custom_edd_email_tags', 10, 2);<br></br>
```
