Try to describe it better, I’ll be glad to help you!
I want to create several posts, each with unique content, but they’ll all share the same contact form. In the admin area, I’d like to assign a specific email address to each post using a custom field called ’email.’ Then, when someone fills out the contact form on any of these posts, the email should be sent to the address stored in the ’email’ custom field for that specific post.
I got this thing from ChatGPT but it’s not working 😀
add_filter('wpcf7_posted_data', 'customize_email_recipient');
function customize_email_recipient($posted_data) {
// Check if the form ID matches the form you want to customize
if ($posted_data['_wpcf7'] == '178378c') { // Replace '178378c' with your form ID
// Get the value of your custom field
$custom_email = $posted_data['email'];
// Set the email recipient to the custom email address
$posted_data['mail']['recipient'] = $custom_email;
}
return $posted_data;
}
Got help from the WordPress Discord Server 🙂
add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'wpdudecom_modify_recipient_email');
function wpdudecom_modify_recipient_email($contact_form) {
$target_form_id = *********FORMULAR ID***********;
if ($contact_form->id() != $target_form_id) {
return;
}
$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
if (!$submission) {
return;
}
$post_id = $submission->get_meta('container_post_id');
if (!$post_id) {
return;
}
$custom_email = get_field('********ACF FIELD NAME********', $post_id);
if (!$custom_email || !is_email($custom_email)) {
return;
}
$mail_properties = $contact_form->prop('mail');
$mail_properties['recipient'] = $custom_email;
$contact_form->set_properties(['mail' => $mail_properties]);
}
That’s excactly what I need! But doesn’t work for me… 🙁
What must be entered in the e-mail recipient field in the CF7 settings?
Where can I find the “container_post_id” in the source code?
You can find the FORMULAR ID in the ID of the form.
It sais xxxx.com/wpadmin/admin.php?page=wpcf7&post=4101&action=edit
The Post=4101 is the formular ID
The ACF FIELD NAME however is the Field Name in ACF (not the Field Label)
Hope it helps.
OK, one mistake was that I had taken the form ID in my case “5a4b224” from the shortcode…
[contact-form-7 id=”5a4b224″ title=”Contact Form”]
But the ACF field name is correct… Nevertheless, the emails are only ever sent to the admin of the website! 🙁
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…
It is also not clear to me where the “container_post_id” comes from. I can’t find one in the source code, maybe it can’t generate the $post_id

Can you send the code here ? Maybe I can help
OK. I have inserted this code at the end of the functions.php …
add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'modify_recipient_email');
function modify_recipient_email($contact_form) {
$target_form_id = 506;
if ($contact_form->id() != $target_form_id) {
return;
}
$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
if (!$submission) {
return;
}
$post_id = $submission->get_meta('container_post_id');
if (!$post_id) {
return;
}
$custom_email = get_field('form_email', $post_id);
if (!$custom_email || !is_email($custom_email)) {
return;
}
$mail_properties = $contact_form->prop('mail');
$mail_properties['recipient'] = $custom_email;
$contact_form->set_properties(['mail' => $mail_properties]);
}
In the CF7 e-mail settings, I have inserted the shortcode [_site_admin_email] in the recipient field.
Did you filled out the ACF Field inside the post ?
Because the code looks good
Yes, of course and I have set up the AC field as an email field.
I have to mention that the form is all built in on posts of a custom post type.
Could that be causing the error?
maybe. try with a standart post and see if it works
I tried it out… but it still doesn’t work. 🙁
