submit hidden form id or form title within the form?

Special Mail Tags will let you easily see which CF7 form was submitted.

If you want more detailed control Getting Default Values from the Context may assist.

Thanks Neil, this is promising. but so far I can’t get a result using ‘getting context values’ with post or post-meta.
On form submit I can see ‘_wpcf7’ is posted, (ie, a key in $_POST) so have tried this:
[hidden form-id-post default:post "_wpcf7"]
but only the string ‘_wpcf7’ is returned..
Also I can see ‘_wpcf7’ in the wp db post_meta table showing the form id so tried this:
[hidden form-id2 default:post_meta "_wpcf7"]
but again the string ‘_wpcf7’ is returned.

can you see what i am doing wrong?
is there a list of CF7 posts or post_meta data somewhere

Thanks

no answers? so here what i did: i couldn’t get the above to work for me so added my own tag in the theme’s functions.php then put [form-info] in the form:

add_action( 'wpcf7_init', 'custom_add_form_tag_id' );
function custom_add_form_tag_id() {
    wpcf7_add_form_tag( 'form_info', 'custom_id_form_tag_handler' ); // "clock" is the type of the form-tag
}
function custom_id_form_tag_handler( $tag ) {
    
	$wpcf7 = WPCF7_ContactForm::get_current();
	$form_id = $wpcf7->id();
	$form_title = $wpcf7->title();
	$form_name = $wpcf7->name();
	return "<input type='hidden' name='form_id' value='$form_id' />"
		. "<input type='hidden' name='form_title' value='$form_title' />"
		. "<input type='hidden' name='form_name' value='$form_name' />";
}

How about the following, this should work:

Child Theme functions.php:

//Contact Form 7 Custom Output
add_filter('wpcf7_posted_data', function($data) {
  	$form = wpcf7_get_current_contact_form();
	$data['form-id'] = $form->id()
}
);

Then in your form template:

[hidden form-id]

Then in your email template

[form-id]

Just spotted a mistake:
$data['form-id'] = $form->id()
should be:
$data['form-id'] = $form->id();

Don’t forget the line:

return $data;

//Contact Form 7 Custom Output
add_filter('wpcf7_posted_data', function($data) {

  	$form = wpcf7_get_current_contact_form();
	$data['form-id'] = $form->id();
	return $data;
}
);

Then in your form template:

[hidden form-id]

Then in your email template:

[form-id]

thanks Connor – lots of ways to get this done.
the return $data is a good reminder for the filter
