    To make a form field content appear in your email, you must add its name tag in the mail section of your contact form 7 form.

    For example- form tag: [date Yourdate] has a name Yourdate so you would put [Yourdate] in the mail section of your form.

    see getting started with CF7 and CF7 tags​​

    @davmerit: Since the CF7 release which moved the mail template in an own tab, there seem to be quite some issues which are based on the fact that added fields are not inserted in mail template at all. People use the default html form, add fields there, but don’t see/forget the mail template…

    @thakurintl9 As I have explained in my earlier reply. You need to add the name tags in the mail tab of CF7 settings.

    Kindly add these two tags in the mail tab of CF7 settings page. Specically the Message Body text area and test your form again. ​​[Yourdate] [time]

    If this does not work for you, Kindly supply me with all the tags you have used in the mail tab​​ of your CF7 settings.

    @ov3rfly that seem to be the case. OPs should know that even though CF7 works out of the box, any additional choices must be configured 🙂
