Contact Form 7: Push to different list depending on drop-down

Hello Aaron,

That option is provided within the free as well as paid version. When you go to the page where you can edit our form, you should find a “List Choice” button above the editor. Click on the button and then select “Drop Down” as the option and then add the field to your form.

Hi Harish – thanks a lot for getting back to me.

The reason I am using Contact Form 7 is because this is a contact form like this:

<p>I Am Messaging About (required)<br />
[select* Department
"Department1|[email protected]"
"Department2|[email protected]"
"Department3|[email protected]"
]
</p>

<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>

[mc4wp_checkbox]
[recaptcha]
<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

I would like to make it so that depending on which drop-down is selected, the user is added to a different list. I have looked through the method you suggested, which was to use the ‘edit our form’ section in your plugin instead, but would I be correct in saying this is generally for creating opt-in forms rather than contact forms like the above?

I think I need to find a way to add the code to make use of the code seen here in some way, but I’m not quite sure how:

Hey Aaron,

The code is same and can be generated from our form and added to your CF7 form. Please find an example below:

<p>
    <label>List Choice</label>
    <select name="_mc4wp_lists">
        <option value="2aaaa9447b">List 1</option>
        <option value="f5110ee3a1b">List 1</option>
    </select>
</p>

You would need to directly add the HTML code instead of using the method suggested by CF7. The reason being it does not support adding a different value and adding a “_” sign before the field name.
