Hi,
On my page I created custom post type of Artist with a contact form 7 form.
I want to give the user of the website posibility to write an email to me about each Artist.
Is there a way to send me in the email information from witch page was it send?
I want to include in the e-mail also one other field from the post named "cytat".
Is there a way to include in the mail body two fields from toolset: [wpv-post-title] and [types field='cytat'][/types]?
For egzample the contact form 7 message body i would like to be able to create:

From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
Subiect: [your-subject]

From page: [wpv-post-title]
Cytat: [types field='cytat'][/types]
Your message:
[your-message]

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The Contact Form 7 plugin doesn't seem to support third-party shortcodes inside the email body, which is why the Toolset shortcodes can't be used directly in there.

The good news is that Contact Form 7 does offer some special post-related mail tags and you can use the "[_post_name]" to get the source post's name/title:
( ref: hidden link )


From page: [_post_name]

For the custom field's value, you can include a hidden field in the form with the same slug as the custom field ( along with the prefix "wpcf-" if its a Toolset Types field ):
( ref: hidden link )


[hidden wpcf-cytat default:post_meta]

And after that, you'll be able to get its value in the email body:


Cytat: [wpcf-cytat] 

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
