   When my user hits 'send' I would like to run a function before sending anything.

   A brief explanation of the function; it will take the address, geocode it to get the lat/lng and then compare against a mysql table to find the closest match.

   Any idea how I can implement this?

   wpcf7_before_send_mail action hook is available for that purpose.

   This topic also helps:
   Insert contact name and email in database after successful submission

   Thanks for that, I've taken a look at the link. This seems pretty explanatory:

   add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_conversion' );
   
   function my_conversion( $cf7 )
   {
   $email = $cf7->posted_data["your-email"];
   $name = $cf7->posted_data["your-name"];
   insert_newsletter_subscriber($email, $name);
   }

   So am I right to think this works as when the user hits send, it will activate the hook and run function my_conversion. And then, the email will get sent as per usual?

   What if I want to pull some data from my database and add it on to the end of the email, then send it - how do I do that?
