Custom field not recognized / passed by plugin

    Hello,
    We have a locally-developed plugin that adds some custom field types to CF7 (a standard list of academic departments that we manage centrally to keep things in sync). The custom field type is defined via wpcf7_add_form_tag, as described in the CF7 documentation. The field is correctly rendered and processed by CF7.

    However, when I try to integrate cf7-to-zapier, I don’t see this custom field in the list of fields available. It does not appear in the list on the admin side under “Data sended to Zapier”, and it does not appear within Zapier when defining the Zap there.

    Has this problem been previously reported (I don’t see anything scanning down the list of open issues, but may be missing it)? Is there something I need to do to ensure that this field is seen by this plugin?

    Right now I’m working with a site on an internal staging site – but you can see the field in action on this demonstration page: https://libraries.mit.edu/libtest/cf7-custom-field-demonstration/

    Sigh…nevermind. This was a problem with our we were implementing the custom field. In case anyone later ends up making this mistake, the problem was that we were invoking the custom field with the tag only, not the tag and a name. So instead of

    [select_dlc department]

    We were using just

    [select_dlc]

    Once we added the field name explicitly, the field started appearing in the expected places.

    Hey Matt, how are you?

    I was creating a test WP to check this.
    Nice to hear you already figured out how to solve the problem.

    And I’m very happy to see you are using our plugin to your project.
    It’s very cool.

    Cheers,
