    Hi Jason,

    Sure, you’d need 3 steps:

    1. Write a custom shortcode that returns the value you want

    2. Add that shortcode in a hidden dynamic text item

    3. Add the output in your email just like any other CF7 field

    Hope that helps,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks so much for your response! Could you direct me to where I would start researching how to write a custom shortcode?

    Thanks again for your help!

    Hi Jason,

    You’re welcome ?? It’s really simple, especially if you don’t need shortcode attributes

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Shortcode_API

    Basically, write a function to return the value you want. Then use add_shortcode() to register a shortcode name that will call that function. That’s the bare bones version, and from there you can expand it.

    Hope that helps!

    Chris
