In many cases, website admins may want to have the form data passed onto other services (for instance, WhatsApp). It makes checking the submission data easier and reduces the time it takes for customers to reach you.
The conditional redirect addon from Ultimate Addons for Contact Form 7 allows you to redirect form submissions to other messaging services or websites with ease.
Installation
As usual, you’ll need the Contact Form 7 plugin and the Pro version of Ultimate Addons for Contact Form 7 installed and activated. The latter is available on Themefic’s website.
You’ll also require the conditional redirect plugin from the very download section. Download the .zip file, click the Upload Plugin button in the Plugins tab, and install it.
Once done, head over to the Ultimate Addons settings page within the Contact tab and enable the checkbox that says Redirection.
Using the Redirection Addon
Once the addon has been installed and activated, you can move on to Contact Form 7’s form editing section. You should now see a new tab named UACF7 Redirection. Click on it and check the box that says Enable redirection.
If you want to be able to use the tags on your Contact Form 7 fields, check the Tags support to redirect URL box. Hence, if [username] responds to the form’s username field, you can add it to the redirect section and have it automatically organized that way.
Since we’re going to redirect the form data to another site (be it a website or a messaging client like WhatsApp), click on the Redirect to external URL button. Now, this URL depends on where you want the data to go.
For services like WhatsApp, the format would be (https://wa.me/+8800001230957?) — where wa.me is one of WhatsApp’s domains, followed by your phone number. For other services, the URL will be different.
You can also add texts and tags after the URL if you’ve enabled tag support.
Publishing the form on a page and submitting it should now automatically redirect your form data to the destination. Make sure that the redirection URL is functional, otherwise, the redirection will fail.
