Using shortcodes in the mail message template

Hi, I use a free small plugin for this: Contact Form 7 Shortcode Enabler. Does the job for me.

I tried to use this plug-in “Contact Form 7 Shortcode Enabler”, it does not work.

From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
Subject: [your-subject]

Message:
[your-message]

--
[my_shortcode]

Results:

From: [email protected] <[email protected]>
Subject: My subject

Message:
My test message.

--
[my_shortcode]

What could be the reason?

I use the shortcode enabler to be able to make responsive columns in the form. I use a small plugin for those columns and that plugin uses shortcodes. Maybe it depends on what kind of shortcode? What is your shortcode for?

I want to use different shortcodes, in this case an example:

function my_shortcode_func() {
    return 'My shortcode works!';
}
add_shortcode( 'my_shortcode', 'my_shortcode_func' );

I use the shortcodes in the form itself, not in the output. Could that be the reason?

Perhaps the reason for this.
But the form itself does not work: https://prntscr.com/cq3ujn

What do you mean that the form does not work? Not at all?

I use shortcodes in the form itself like this example.
<div>
[bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth_last”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”clear”][/bscolumns]
</div>

These shortcodes are for responsive columns, so on the frontend people will see 5 columns next to each other and they can enter their text. But in the e-mail itself I do not use these columns, I send the data in a table.
From what I read you can use any shortcode in the form (with help of the plugin), but I did not yet try another shortcode from another plugin.

I mean, that using this plugin: “Contact Form 7 Shortcode Enabler”, I do not work shortcodes in the body of the message and also in the form itself: https://prntscr.com/cq3ujn

Do you work shortcodes in this plugin as you put them?

P.S. Sorry for my English, I use Google translator

I am sorry that I cannot help you, I do not have enough information to see why the plugin Shortcode Enabler does not work for you. I downloaded that plugin because at first the plugin for the columns did not work in the form, and after installing the Shortcode Enabler it was perfect.

Thank you for your answers.
