Dynamically Sending Emails with Ultimate Member and Contact Form 7 in WordPress

If you’re using the Ultimate Member plugin alongside Contact Form 7 on your WordPress site, you might run into a situation where you need to send emails to users dynamically based on their profiles. For example, let's say you want forms submitted from a specific user profile to be emailed directly to that user. This can be particularly useful for enhancing user engagement and facilitating communication seamlessly. However, implementing this dynamic email functionality can be tricky. In this guide, we'll walk through how to achieve this functionality step-by-step.

The Problem

You are trying to send emails using Contact Form 7 (CF7) to users whose emails are stored in their Ultimate Member profiles. While your code works when you use a static email address, it fails to send emails when you attempt to use a dynamic email address pulled from the Ultimate Member plugin. When you try to run the code to get the user email, you encounter an error stating, "An error occurred while trying to send your message. Please try again later."

Understanding Your Current Code

Here’s a brief look at the code you started with:

The challenge here is that when you replace the static email with a dynamic one like $dynamic_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email', um_profile_id());, the code fails to function correctly.

The Solution: Passing the User Profile ID

To address this issue, it's essential to pass the um_profile_id() to the form data correctly. You can achieve this in a couple of ways, but the most effective method is by using a custom form tag. Here’s a breakdown of the solution:

Step 1: Create a Custom Form Tag

Add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. This creates a new form tag [um_profile_id] which can be added to your CF7 form.

Step 2: Update Your Form

Next, ensure to include the custom tag in your Contact Form 7 form. Simply add the line [um_profile_id] wherever you want the user’s profile ID to be included. This adds a hidden input field containing the profile ID when the form is rendered.

Step 3: Modify Your Email Sending Function

Now, modify your previous email sending function to use the user’s profile ID. Use the code below:

Recap of the New Functionality

Custom Form Tag: By including a hidden input field for the profile ID, you ensure that the dynamic information is passed along when the form is submitted.

Conditional Logic: The updated function checks if the form ID matches and retrieves the user email based on the profile ID, allowing for dynamic handling of form submissions.

Step 4: Testing Your Implementation

After implementing the above code, conduct a few tests by submitting the form and checking if the emails are correctly delivered to the respective users. If any errors occur, double-check your code for typos or misconfigurations.

Conclusion

Integrating Ultimate Member with Contact Form 7 allows for a seamless user experience on your WordPress site. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can successfully send emails dynamically based on user profile details. This enhancement not only personalizes communication but also improves engagement across your platform.

Now you can easily manage user interactions and notifications all in one place, ensuring that your site runs smoothly and effectively. Happy coding!
