How to display a shorcode in form success message?

    Is it possible to get a shortcode to display/work as part of a form submission success message?

    I’m using the form as an opt-in to a gated content page. Access to the gated page is possible once the plugin’s (Before And After plugin) shortcode is displayed on the page. However, when I place my shortcode within a success message, it is rendered as plain text within the form wrapper, causing the shortcode to not work as intended.

    Any suggestions as to how I can get this to work? Maybe a functions.php action? Here’s what the plugin’s developer suggested, but I’m not sure on how to implement it: “If there is a hook / action that is fired on Mautic forms when the form is submitted, you could attach a function to that that runs do_shortcode(“[complete_goal NNN]”); when this particular form is submitted.”

    Thanks.

    Hello @pracko,

    Is the shortcode added in Mautic form definition or inside WordPress code ?

    A shortcode must be interpreted with the do_shortcode function to be rendered properly on the page, if you add it inside you form success message without applying this function it’ll be displayed as plain text.

    Actually, there isn’t any action trigger by the mautic plugin when a form is submitted (this a nice feature idea, I’ll add it to our roadmap :)) so you must interpret the shortcode yourself.

    If you post some code using gist.github.com or a service like that, I can guide you more easily through your code.
