Conditional autoresponder eamil

  • hello everyone,

    I’m trying to make contact form 7 send a autorepsonder email with different content based on dropdown selection. I’m using the hook wpcf7_mail_send in functions.php file to generate autoresponder emails depending on visitor’s choice.

    I have two questions:
    1. how can I force this email to be send as html instead of plain.
    2. the email comes in with www-data from name. can I change it to something else?

    here is the hook I’m using:

    // AUTORESPONDER EMAIL – hook in to wpcf7_mail_sent
    add_action( ‘wpcf7_mail_sent’, ‘contact_form_autoresponders’ );

    #our autoresponders function
    function contact_form_autoresponders( $contact_form ) {

    if( $contact_form->id==205276 ){

    #retrieve the details of the form/post
    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();

    #set autoresponders based on dropdown choice
    switch( $posted_data[‘chosen-company’] ){
    case ‘[email protected]’:
    $msg=”Thank you for contacting ACME Productions. John Smith will contact you shortly.
    Email: [email protected]
    Telephone: 613.555.5555
    Mobile: 613.554.5555″;
    break;

    case ‘[email protected]’:
    $msg=”Thank you for contacting Fun Fuctory. Kit Harrington will contact you shortly.
    Email: [email protected]
    Telephone: 613.555.5555
    Mobile: 613.554.5555″;
    break;

    case ‘[email protected]’:
    $msg=”Thank you for contacting Ski Shop. Dirk Diggler will contact you shortly.
    Email: [email protected]
    Telephone: 613.555.5555
    Mobile: 613.554.5555″;
    break;

    }

    mail( $posted_data[’email’], ‘iNFORMED Partners Program’, $msg );
    }
    }

    any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

    Have you tried Mail (2)?

    hello takayuki,

    first of all, thank you very much for a fantastic plugin, we have been using it for years now, simple, elegant, perfect!

    I would love to use the native CF7 autoresponder but I am not sure how to send it with different content. we are trying to get visitors to choose a person’s name from a dropdown which uses a (Person Name|[email protected]) which then sends the form to appropriate address.

    the autoresponder needs to have different content depending on the dropdown.

    if there is a way to achieve that with mail_2, could you point me in the right direction? thanks in advance.

    To replace a mail-tag with a custom value, the wpcf7_mail_tag_replaced filter hook would be useful.

    humm, apologies, I don’t think I understand what you mean by replacing wpcf7-mail-tag.
    would you be able to elaborate?

    Replacement of tags is the most basic concept of Contact Form 7’s email generation. For details, see How Tags Work.

    I think you might have misunderstood my question.
    clearly, we can include the dropdown results in mail_2 autoresponder. that however is not the challenge here.

    the autorepsonder email needs to have completely different written content depending on the dropdown, NOT just the value of the dropdown.

    (@takayukister)

    Yeah, I understand that. That’s what YOU need to do with the wpcf7_mail_tag_replaced filter function.

    would you be able to provide an example of a filter function that would accomplish what I am trying to do? thank you in advance.

    hello, can anyone help us with this?

    Hello @yoshid;
    I try to do the same thing as you, did you succeed?
    I do not understand the author’s answers. It’s not very clear.
    how does this function “wpcf7_mail_tag_replaced” work?

    Best ragard

    hey cedric, apologies for the late reply.

    we ended up using the script in functions.php I provided below. it’s not ideal but just like you, I did not understand takayuki’s answer.

    if you did find a better solution, I would be grateful if you shared it here.

    merry xmas,
    cheers
