 * If you are trying to test CF7 + 3rd party integration in a local environment,
   you will get errors because CF7 still goes through the process of trying to send
   an email first, and most of the time a localhost is not configured to do this.
   In order to get it to work, you have to add “demo_mode: on” to the additional
   settings of the form so that the email sending part is skipped.
 * This took me days to figure out. I hope it helps someone!
