Send email when validation failed

    Hi

    I need Contact Form 7 to send one email when validation has been failed. Then send the normal CF7 email when the form is submitted correctly. Ridiculous I know but clients!

    So far in functions.php I have

    function send_failed_vaildation_email() {
    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    $invalid_fields = $submission->get_invalid_fields();

    $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();

    if ( !empty( $invalid_fields ) ) {
        $messagesend = 'Name:' . $posted_data['your-name'];
        $messagesend .= '\r\nEmail:' . $posted_data['email'];
        $messagesend .= '\r\nPhone:' . $posted_data['validPhone'];
        $messagesend .= '\r\nRate:'  . $posted_data['rate'];
        $messagesend .= '\r\nBased:' . $posted_data['based'];
        wp_mail('e*********[email protected]', 'failed validation mail', $messagesend );
    }
}
add_filter("wpcf7_posted_data", "send_failed_vaildation_email");

    The problem is with $invalid_fields = $submission->get_invalid_fields(); this array always returns empty, even when there are validation errors so the wp_mail() never fires.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    That is because wpcf7_posted_data filter is applied before the data is validated so nothing is invalid at that time.

    Maybe you should use wpcf7_submit action hook instead of wpcf7_posted_data.
