How to work with custom name and email fields

    Do the name and email fields need to be named “your-name” and “your-email”?

    I use custom settings for this fields and I also use a last name field and I’m wondering how to make them work so they populate correctly in my MailPoet list. I was able to make them work perfectly on the Flamingo plugin using this solution:
    https://contactform7.com/save-submitted-messages-with-flamingo/

    and I was wondering if there’s something similar I can do

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Hi @ebarcena,

    I understand this issue is related to contact form 7 core plugin. However, I am happy to assist you here. 

    <label> Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </label>

    If you referring to this shortcode then You can change the label text . Like you can changeYour Name to any string you want but you must not change your-name from this shortcode. It is programatically created and helpcontact form 7
    to detect form fields.

    So, you can rename your shortcode label like this way ->

    <label> Any Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </label>

    In mailpoet we only take contact form your-name field and your-email field.

    Any plans to add a separate First Name and Last Name functionality, so that the MailPoet subscriber entry has data for the first AND last name of the user who fills out the form?

    Many thanks! :O)
