    I am new to this plugin. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to get started. I want to pull data from a remote JSON file and populate CF7 form fields. How would I go about doing this? Do I need to use ACF to store these values first before I can fill CF7?

    Hi wpdev999,

    The DTX access values via shortcode, so as long as you can get the value via PHP, you can return it in a custom shortcode and then inject it into the form. How you access that data is totally up to you, but having the data in ACF does sound more efficient than reaching out to read a remote JSON file every page load.

    Hope that helps 🙂
