• I have an RSVP form set up through Contact Form 7 with the following fields:

    Your Name
    Your Email
    Number of Guests
    Company Name
    Message

    Within the form’s Additional Settings, I have added the following code:

    flamingo_email: "[your-email]"
    flamingo_name: "your-name]"
    flamingo_guests: "[guests]"
    flamingo_company: "[text-839]"
    flamingo_message: "[your-message]"

    But then within Flamingo > Inbound Messages, it is still only displaying the default “Subject” and “From” and nothing more, even when I filter just for the RSVP Form’s channel. Am I doing something wrong here?

    I am using a default WordPress theme and my only installed plugins are Contact Form 7, Akismet, Insert PHP and Shortcodes Ultimate, which are all necessary.

    Yes, I’m well aware of that link, that is where I got the structure for this code I’m using:

    flamingo_email: “[your-email]”
    flamingo_name: “your-name]”
    flamingo_guests: “[guests]”
    flamingo_company: “[text-839]”
    flamingo_message: “[your-message]”

    [Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

    But like I said, this is not working. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello,
    I just want to tell you that Additional settings are not working for me either.
    In Additional setings I put:
    flamingo_email: “[my-email-field]”
    flamingo_name: “[my-name-field]”
    flamingo_subject: “[my-subject-field]”

    And those fields exist in my contact form, checked twice if there is any typing error (no error), but in the list of messages (flamingo) I still see [your-subject],
    [your-name] and [your-email]

    I am using Divi theme (elegantthemes), did not check if it works with default wordpress themes …

    So just letting you know that additional setting are not working.
    Hope this will be resolved soon.
    Except of that, plugin is great add on to cf7.

    So I did find out that when you export all submissions as a CSV the custom fields do work, but within the dashboard, Submissions appear the same as default.

    Plugin author, is there a way to have them display properly in the dashboard?

    I am also experiencing the same issues as the others here in the post.

    flamingo_email: “[client-email]”
    flamingo_name: “[client-name]”
    flamingo_phone: “[client-phone]”

    Nothing is working they way the author has described. Any help or solution would be great.

    Following up again, specifically addressing the plugin author. This is a problem multiple plugin users are experiencing, please update us in there is a way to customize the Submissions view within the dashboard vs. only seeing the customized view in exported Excel files. Thanks

    same issue here…

    flamingo_email: “[email]”
    flamingo_name: “[surname] [name]”
    flamingo_subject: “[subject_1] [subject_2] (subject_3)”

    But in Inbound Messages it’s displaying the default [your-subject], [your-name] and [your-email].

    Active plugin:
    – Contact Form 7
    – Flamingo
    – Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields (by Jules Colle)
    – Send PDF for Contact Form 7 (by Florent Maillefaud)

    Problem solved.
    The plugin “Send PDF for Contact Form 7 (by Florent Maillefaud)” have an option to display a page after sending the form. Selecting a page there causes the error.
    I’ve switched off that option and redirect with javascript as explained in https://contactform7.com/redirecting-to-another-url-after-submissions/
