Add WPCF7 Before Send Mail Hook You add the function below to your functions.php file within the theme. You are hooking into Contact Form 7’s “wpcf7beforesendmail’ function to grab the post data and post it to a WordPress repeater field as a new row. Let’s hook into wpcf7beforesendmail, get the submitted form data, find the enquiry-type dropdown option and then use an if/else statement to send the notifications to specific email addresses.

I was in a particular situation where I needed a task management system that could take fields through a form from Contact Form 7 and post them to rows in the Advanced Custom Fields Repeater field I set up. The idea was to use a form from the front end of WordPress to post to the back-end of WordPress in a custom field. You can accomplish this by adding code to your functions.php file in the WordPress theme.

This example assumes that you already have a form set up through Contact Form 7 and you have already purchased the Advanced Custom Fields’ Repeater Field plugin.

1. Get Your Field Key

You can grab your field key from the ACF Repeater Field by selecting ‘Show Field Key‘ from the Screen Options. You will use this in your function to determine which field to add rows to.

2. Add WPCF7 Before Send Mail Hook

You add the function below to your functions.php file within the theme. You are hooking into Contact Form 7’s “wpcf7_before_send_mail’ function to grab the post data and post it to a WordPress repeater field as a new row.

The important things to take away from this functions script is that:</p><p>You’ve created the hook:</p><div><textarea wrap='soft' readonly='>add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_wpcf7_post'); function my_wpcf7_post($wpcf7) { $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance(); }

add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail','my_wpcf7_post');

functionmy_wpcf7_post($wpcf7){

$submission=WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();

}

You’ve got the URL and ID of the post the form was submitted through:

</div><table><tbody><tr><td><div>2</div></td><td><div><span>$</span><span>url</span><span>=</span><span>$</span><span>submission</span><span>-></span><span>get_meta</span><span>(</span><span>'url'</span><span>)</span><span>;</span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><img src='https://i.stack.imgur.com/sfuPf.png' alt='Wpcf7_before_send_mail' title='Wpcf7_before_send_mail' /><p>You got the data from the form:</p><img src='https://es.godaddy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/validacion-de-campos-en-contact-form-7.png' alt='Wpcf7_before_send_mail' title='Wpcf7_before_send_mail' /><div><textarea wrap='soft' readonly='> //GET VALUES $data = $submission->get_posted_data(); $variable = $data['whatever-your-form-field-is'];

2	$data=$submission->get_posted_data();

And you update the repeater field based on those elements:

</div><table><tbody><tr><td><div><div>2</div><div>4</div><div>6</div></div></td><td><div><div><span>$</span><span>field_key</span><span>=</span><span>'field_552ffe7e7d43c'</span><span>;</span></div><div><span>$</span><span>value</span><span>=</span><span>get_field</span><span>(</span><span>$</span><span>field_key</span><span>,</span><span>$</span><span>post_id</span><span>)</span><span>;</span></div><div><span>$</span><span>value</span><span>[</span><span>]</span><span>=</span><span>array</span><span>(</span><span>'name'</span><span>=</span><span>></span><span>$</span><span>name</span><span>,</span><span>'type'</span><span>=</span><span>></span><span>$</span><span>type</span><span>,</span><span>'description'</span><span>=</span><span>></span><span>$</span><span>description</span><span>)</span><span>;</span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Hope that helps! Don’t forget you can always extend this to a plugin as opposed to a theme function as well.</p><h2>7 Comments</h2><ul><li><div><h3>Ajay Radadiya</h3><p>Contact form 7 woocommerce product dropdown field and Contact form 7 custom post type dropdown more good plugin</p></div></li><li><div><h3>Nike Air force</h3><p>Great article.</p></div></li><li><div><h3>Simone</h3><p>How do I create a single of my website content articles glance upon an additional one particular of my web pages?</p></div></li><li><div><h3>Beetle</h3><p>You can also help in this use of the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-contact-form-7/</p></div></li><li><div><h3>rox</h3><p>hey !!<br />I need to do this urgently in one of my project.I can pay</p></div></li><li><div><h3>Toplu Sms</h3><p>Thank you.</p></div></li><li><div><h3>Rub</h3><p>Hi,<br />I understand the development of the solution, but it is not how to apply it.<br />Where indicated and print the sub_field ?

(Contact Form 7 is a popular plugin for WordPress sites that lets you easily create a Contact Us type form. We use it here, although we’ve also tweaked what it does with our FormSpammerTrap for Contact Form 7 plugin that effectively reduces Contact Form spam. You can check out that plugin – and our other FormSpammerTrap spam-bot blocking techniques at our FormSpammerTrap.com site.)</p><p>We were inspired by an article we found via the googles while searching for information on CF7 hooks, because we wanted to do things to the CF7 form content after it was submitted, but before the form was emailed. The article is here. The code is theirs, but we wanted to explain it in more detail (mostly for our own purposes, as we wanted to use a similar process for our own purposes).</p><h2 id='wpcf7beforesendmail-get-form-data'>Wpcf7_before_send_mail Get Form Data</h2><p>Let’s take a look at what we can do after the Contact form is submitted, and before CF7 emails the message. Our intent is to change the Subject line of the form to something other than what the visitor entered. You could easily use this code for your own purposes.</p><p>First, lets ‘hook’ into the wpcf7_before_send_mail process. This is done with the standard WP add_action function. (Remember that you can ‘hook’ into any WP function that has a ‘hook’. Ask the googles how the add_action thing works.) Here is the code that you would place in your Child Theme’s function.php file (or perhaps in a plugin):</p><p>This will wait for the hook to be called, and run the my_change_subject_mail() function.</p><p>Now we need to create the my_change_subject_mail function. I’m going to show and explain each line separately. We’ll put the entire function at the end.</p><p>This defines the function:</p><p>This will get the current WPCF7_ContactForm object. We need this object to change the subject value therein.</p><p>Here we get the Submission object, which is generated when the user hits the ‘send’ submit button.</p><p>Next, let’s ensure that the contact form has been submitted.</p><img src='https://accentsconagua.com/img/images_23/mini-guide-to-contact-form-7_4.jpg' alt='Wpcf7_before_send_mail' title='Wpcf7_before_send_mail' /><div> Check if there is a submission of the contact form</div><p>If the form is empty, exit the function.</p><h2 id='wpcf7beforesendmail-redirect'>Wpcf7_before_send_mail Redirect</h2><div> Exit the function if it the contact form is empty</div><img src='https://wpmagus.pl/pliki/prezentacje/kreatywne-czary-z-filtrami-i-akcjami/images/rezerwacja-03.gif' alt='Wpcf7_before_send_mail return error' title='Wpcf7_before_send_mail return error' /><p>This is how we read a value of the form. The basic CF7 Contact Form has variables, this next line references the variable that was defined as ‘your-message’. If you want to work with another field on the form, use that field name as the parameter of the $posted_data array.</p><div> Read the your-subject field contents into the $subject variable</div><p>At this point, you could do a search/replace on the subject, or anything else. For instance, maybe you’d like to store the message fields in a database. You would set various variables – like we did with the $subject variable – to values from the $posted_data array. Then you could store those variables into a table in your database.</p><p>We’re not going to do anything with the $subject variable, we just wanted to show you that it could be done.</p><p>Our intent is to change the ‘subject’ of the email to something else. First, we have to read the property of the $mail object. This is the object that CF7 uses to create the email.</p><div> Get the contact form's values into the $mail array</div><p>Since the subject line in our CF7 form is called ‘subject’, here is how we change the contents of that field:</p><img src='https://wirecrm.com/images/help/132/2.png' alt='Wpcf7_before_send_mail hook' title='Wpcf7_before_send_mail hook' /><h2 id='wpcf7beforesendmail-skip-mail'>Wpcf7_before_send_mail Skip Mail</h2><p>Now that we have changed a value in the $mail array, we need to set that value in the WPCF7_ContactForm object:</p><div> Store our new subject back into the CF7 ContactForm object</div><p>If we are curious about all of the contents of the WPCF7_ContactForm object, we could quickly write it to the error.log file. This is OK for our purposes, as we are on a development site, and the error.log is a quick way to look at something. Note that you can’t ‘echo’ or ‘print’ anything to the screen in this process; it won’t be shown.</p><h2 id='wpcf7beforesendmail-get-form-id'>Wpcf7_before_send_mail Get Form Id</h2><p>All done. We’ll return the object just in case it is needed.</p><p>By looking at the contents of the object, you might find other things that you might like to change. The $mail part of the object is stuff that will be emailed.</p><p>The result of all of this is that we have changed the subject line of the emailed message with out little function. We could add additional parts (maybe some extra data like the IP address of the sender, or whatever) to the $mail array -maybe the message content – and that would also be sent.</p><p>All done! Any questions, use the comments. We’ll try our best to muddle through an answer to your question.</p><p>Here’s the entire function:</p><br><br><a href='https://netlify.mix-goapp.com/download-x-plane-for-mac.html#oeP=AggVR1pTDwYGTFZRUgIMVloLBQocQ0UBUwATAVwFDUMDEhBQV1FNDgVQDkhTAwgdBk9CQF9TRwNYHFUCWkhXHUoNTQcJB1dPURVQSAdcFGRlTwMCAgAbDFBDVApfGkxQFklPGU1QHhcXHFEFRwFYYg==' target='_blank'><img src='https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/images/fotolife/r/ruriatunifoefec/20200910/20200910011346.png' style='cursor:pointer;display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;'></a><br><br></p>
