include custom fiel in contact-form

Hi Ruth,

Unfortunately, the only variable specified in our code for the Product Inquiry form is the Product name.

One possible workaround:

Edit the Inquiry contact form itself, add a “Product Number” field and make that field required.

So instead of this:

<p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>
				
<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>

<p>Your Message<br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

Your form code will look something like this:

<p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>
				
<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>

<p>Inquiry Product Name<br />
    [text product-name "%PRODUCT_NAME%"]</p>

<p>Your Product Number<br />
    [text* product-number]</p>

<p>Your Message<br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

Thank you for that suggestion. In this way, the visitor will be forced to enter the product-number. Not the best idea to get new customers. So I will find a way to make the product-titles unique.

Regards
Ruth

Hi

I was struggeling around with this as well and managed to solve it like this:

In my contact form i use:

…

<p>[text product-name readonly class:wpcf7-hidden “%PRODUCT_NAME%”]</p>

<p>[submit “Anfrage senden”]</p>

…

and in the e-mail settings of the contact form:

From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
Artikel ID: [product-name]

…

[Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

-The input field is hidden so the user cannot see. It is auto-filled with the product-name and this is used in the e-mail which is sent.

Hope that helps ??

Best,
Thomas
