Wpcf7_before_send_mail

A WordPress hook!

wpcf7_before_send_mail is a WordPress action hook that is triggered before sending an email using the Contact Form 7 (CF7) plugin.

This hook allows you to modify or extend the email sending process before the email is actually sent. You can use this hook to perform various tasks, such as:

1. Modifying the email content or subject
2. Adding or removing attachments
3. Changing the email recipient or sender
4. Validating or sanitizing form data
5. Integrating with other plugins or services

The hook is triggered with the following arguments:

• $contact_form: The Contact Form 7 form object
• $ajax: A boolean indicating whether the form submission is an AJAX request
• $mail: The email object being sent

To use this hook, you can add a function to the wpcf7_before_send_mail action hook in your theme's functions.php file or in a plugin. Here's an example:

add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_before_send_mail_function' );
function my_before_send_mail_function( $contact_form, $ajax, $mail ) {
    // Your code here
}

In this example, the my_before_send_mail_function function will be called before sending the email. You can access the form data, email object, and other relevant information within this function.

Remember to always validate and sanitize any form data before modifying or sending it.
