Hooking Form Submit

  • What’s the best way to hook the form submit and access the data that was submitted?

    I’ve tried hooking using add_action-

    wpcf7_submit
    wpcf7_before_send_mail
    wpcf7_form_response_output

    and I can get the form itself when it was submitted, but not the data that the user inputted into the form.

    Thanks so much!

  • Hi,

    Did you find an answer to this as I require the same info?

    Hoping this will help someone trying to learn everything at once, the following worked out for me. As a start use the following in your functions.php…

    
add_action( 'wpcf7_mail_sent', 'do_my_work' ); //access after send

if( ! function_exists( 'do_my_work' ) ) {
	function do_my_work($cf7){ //contact form object passed in
				
		/* Use WPCF7_Submission object's get_posted_data() method to get it. */
		$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
		$posted_data = $submission ? $submission->get_posted_data() : null; //get form data
		if($posted_data){ 
			$formName = $posted_data['your-name']; //get form field value
			
			// do something more
			
		}	
	}
}
