Improve this questionI want to store the data of contact form 7 (CF7) in a custom-post-types (CPT). There are several plugins like:
/
/
/
which store the data in their own cpt. But it is not possible to redirect the data into a CPT of your own.
Is there a plugin or another way how I can store the data from CF7 in a CPT of a third plugin?

Reset to default 5If you want to save the Mail Content after the Contact Form was sent (or failed), you can use the wpcf7_mail_sent and wpcf7_mail_failed Hookes like this:
add_action('wpcf7_mail_sent','save_my_form_data_to_my_cpt');
add_action('wpcf7_mail_failed','save_my_form_data_to_my_cpt');
function save_my_form_data_to_my_cpt($contact_form){
$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
if (!$submission){
return;
}
$posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
//The Sent Fields are now in an array
//Let's say you got 4 Fields in your Contact Form
//my-email, my-name, my-subject and my-message
//you can now access them with $posted_data['my-email']
//Do whatever you want like:
$new_post = array();
if(isset($posted_data['my-subject']) && !empty($posted_data['my-subject'])){
$new_post['post_title'] = $posted_data['my-subject'];
} else {
$new_post['post_title'] = 'Message';
}
$new_post['post_type'] = 'my_awesome_cpt'; //insert here your CPT
if(isset($posted_data['my-message'])){
$new_post['post_content'] = $posted_data['my-message'];
} else {
$new_post['post_content'] = 'No Message was submitted';
}
$new_post['post_status'] = 'publish';
//you can also build your post_content from all of the fields of the form, or you can save them into some meta fields
if(isset($posted_data['my-email']) && !empty($posted_data['my-email'])){
$new_post['meta_input']['sender_email_address'] = $posted_data['my-email'];
}
if(isset($posted_data['my-name']) && !empty($posted_data['my-name'])){
$new_post['meta_input']['sender_name'] = $posted_data['my-name'];
}
//When everything is prepared, insert the post into your Wordpress Database
if($post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post)){
//Everything worked, you can stop here or do whatever
} else {
//The post was not inserted correctly, do something (or don't ;) )
}
return;
}
