wpcf7_before_send_mail – Trigger or Add Error Message

    I’ve used the wpcf7_before_send_mail hook and my custom function (wpcf7_register_gfuser_and_post) to help customize and process input from one of my contact form 7 forms. I can access the CF7 object and am able to successfully customize the input this way. The only roadblock I’m encountering is: I would like to correctly access the error message object array so I can trigger an error based on one of my conditions so the user will be able to make the correction before submitting the form again. I can access the object arrays: posted_data, skip_mail, form, …just fine, but am having trouble accessing and setting the error messages object array.

    For example:

    $submitted_username = $WPCF7_ContactForm->posted_data['user-name'];
if( username_exists($submitted_username) ) { $add_to_error = "This username, $submitted_username, is already in use. "; }
if( !empty($add_to_error) ) {
 $WPCF7_ContactForm->skip_mail = true;
 //Not sure if I'm accessing error/validation message object correctly
 $WPCF7_ContactForm->messages['Not sure what might go here'] = $add_to_error;
} else { /* All the rest of the processing if no error */ }

    Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    There is no “error_messages” property. Validation is processed in the validate() method of the object, you can find it in includes/classes.php. And, you can’t cut into it at the time of wpcf7_before_send_mail hook as validation is processed before sending mail.

    Thanks so much. I got it solved by using your filter email and text filters (e.g. add_filter('wpcf7_validate_email*','wpcf7_validate_gfemail', 10, 2);, WordPress’ email_exists() function, and Michael Simpson’s cfdb custom validation concept: https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=904

    Cheers!
