Override the forms notification behaviour

  • Hello

    When using Contact Form 7 I am receiving the emails resulting from the form BEFORE the form has completed the submission process. The emails are coming through before Contact Form 7 can display the message that the form was successfully submitted, which eventually happens.

    The form submission works fine and so do the emails; it’s just that the emails arrives BEFORE the form submission. Wondering because of that sequence of events the form submission process takes longer than it should?

    NEED HELP WITH THIS QUESTION
    —
    Is there a way to override the forms notification behaviour and introduce a delay such that the completed form is sent on submit, but the confirmation email is delayed (a finite period) before being sent rather than being automatic as it is at the moment.
    —

    This support link suggests using a 3rd party plugin to achieve that

    Instead is there a configuration change in Contact Form 7 itself that one can make changes to?

    Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact Form 7, Flamingo, WP Mail SMTP and Yoast SEO, and clearing all cache data.

    Why you are advised to deactivate plugins and switch to the default theme.

    Created a staging site and followed these recommendations. Using the default 2020 theme, Contact Form 7, Flamingo and WP Mail SMTP and still the same behavior where the email seems to come before seeing the success message for the form submission.

    Further recommendations?

    Hi there

    I have tested the form under various scenarios and continue to be see that email messages come through well before the form processing has completed and moved on to show a success message. This is particularly pronounced when file attachments are involved. Any suggestions?

    Thanks
