How to modify data for email notification?

There are a lot of hooks/filters but no documentation

Current case: we have a single checkbox, which when not checked, should send a value in the mail. Without filter it’s just empty/missing.

Trie the following code but not sure how to view content/data/fields to modify them.
```
add_filter( 'forminator_replace_custom_form_data', 'replace_form_data', 10, 2 );

function replace_form_data($content, $data, $fields) {
        // do something here
	return $content;
}
```

Hi @phloo,

You can find API docs on our site here:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator-api-docs/

And some additional usage information on the blog post here:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-build-custom-forminator-add-ons-using-the-developer-api/

Let me know if that helps with accomplishing your goal 🙂

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply

There is no informations about the question I posted.
None of the API docs lists any information for the hook when a submission gets send via mail nor is there any code example for it.

So no, doesnt really help.

Hello @phloo ,

Please check our developer’s suggestion:

Use different filter:
```
/**
 * $data        - the post data
 * $custom_form - the form
 * $entry       - saved entry
 */
add_filter( 'forminator_custom_form_mail_data', function( $data, $custom_form, $entry ){
	return $data;
}, 10, 3 );
//source: forminator/library/modules/custom-forms/front/front-mail.php on line 123
```
like that:
```
/**
 * array $data        - the post data
 * object Forminator_Custom_Form_Model $custom_form - the form
 * object Forminator_Form_Entry_Model $entry       - saved entry
 */
add_filter( 'forminator_custom_form_mail_data', function( $data, $custom_form, $entry ){
	$checkbox_id = 'checkbox-1';
	// if this checkbox is not checked
	// @file_put_contents( ABSPATH .'/data.txt', "\n-------\n". print_r( $data, true ), FILE_APPEND );//use this to log the data to your root-site/data.txt file
	if( ! isset( $data[ $checkbox_id ] ) ){
		// do something if checkbox is not checked
	}
	return $data;
}, 10, 3 );
```

Hi Kasia,

thanks for the feedback and code example.

This is helpful. But I still don’t understand how you can find such examples on your documentation pages, nor do I see anything like that on your dev’s provided links in the first answer. Even the search doesn’t find any infos about this filter, etc.

Still testing, Nastia. But I guess we will be fine.
