contact form autoresponder with field entries

Hey Tilman,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You might be able to use the avf_contact_form_autoresponder_mail filter to adjust the autoresponder content and include the field entries to the message.

Example:

add_filter("avf_contact_form_autoresponder_mail", function($mail_array, $new_post, $form_params, $class) { 
     $mail_array["Message"] = "Hello " . $new_post["1_1"] . " " . $new_post["2_1"] . "!\n" . $mail_array["Message"];

     return $mail_array;
}, 10, 4);

The filter above prepends an extra line to the actual autoresponder message saying “Hello” plus the value of the first and second field.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

You have to add the filter in the child theme’s functions.php file. The $new_post variable is an array that contains the value of the input fields sent by the user.

Hi,

>Would you mind to give me a syntax example how to add some fields in the backend in a correct way? This would be super cool and helpful

For the contact form in the “kalender-2024” page, the $new_post variable will contain the following values.

$new_post["1_1"] = Vorname
$new_post["2_1"] = Nachname
$new_post["3_1"] = ggf. Firma
$new_post["4_1"] = ggf. Tel. (für Rückfragen)
$new_post["5_1"] = E-Mail

.. and so on an so forth.

So, if you want to display the values of the Vorname and the Nachname field in the autoresponsder message, the filter will look something like the following.

add_filter("avf_contact_form_autoresponder_mail", function($mail_array, $new_post, $form_params, $class) { 
     $mail_array["Message"] = "Hello " . $new_post["1_1"] . " " . $new_post["2_1"] . "!\n" . $mail_array["Message"];

     return $mail_array;
}, 10, 4);

This will render the following result.

Hello [Vorname] [Nachname] !

// autoresponsder message here

Hi,

How / where Do I need to enter the first 3 entry fields “Herr/Frau” Vorname” “Nachname” in a way that they appear after the “Hello…” at the beginning of the return mail?

Please replace the filter with the following code.

add_filter("avf_contact_form_autoresponder_mail", function($mail_array, $new_post, $form_params, $class) { 
     $mail_array["Message"] = "Hello Herr/Frau " . $new_post["1_1"] . " " . $new_post["2_1"] . "!\n" . $mail_array["Message"];

     return $mail_array;
}, 10, 4);

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

1.) We can’t find the “Guten Tag name” part in the screenshot. Could you elaborate a bit?

2.) You can try adding an inline style to the autoresponder message to adjust the line height.

<div style="line-height: 1em;">Your message and other content here</div>

Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the info.

Have you tried adding a line break or a br tag before the ” vielen Dank für Ihre” part?

< br > < br >vielen Dank für Ihre ... 

// https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_br.asp

You can also create an invisible container before the paragraph.

<div class="av-email-line-break" style="height: 1em; width: 100%; clear: both;"></div>
vielen Dank für Ihre ...

Ismael
