I have a form at Contact Forms 7 to get my clients to receive a call in 30 minutes. A guy built us a API that does the job. But I need to add the phone number automatically to the end of the external URL (not my contact page nor the thank you page). When submitted, the form redirects to a 'thank you page' and should fire a javascript that sets the phone number at the end of the URL.
Im new to Javascript but I've tried this code by prieston, but i don't really know what I'm doing. Can anyone help?
I've also tried the CF7 to Webhook but it didnt work.
You can use Contact Form 7 events.
So something like this will fire when the form is submitted.
document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7submit', function( event ) {
const phone = document.getElementById('phone').value; // Your phone field id
const external_url = `http://external/?phone=${phone}` // Your page after the form is submitted
location.replace(external_url) // Load the page with added parameter
}, false );
We managed to make it work with Javascript/AJAX with the following code.
var url = "https://www.urloftheAPI.com";
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", url);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
var data = `{
"phone": "[phone]",
"id": "company's id in the system of the api"
}`;
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
console.log(xhr.status);
console.log(xhr.responseText);
console.log(data);
}};
xhr.send(data);
The code was fired with the plug-in Redirection for Contact Form 7 by Qube One.
The redirection to a 'thank you page' was made with the same plugin.
Try this javascript:
document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7submit', function( event ) {
var inputs = event.detail.inputs;
for ( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) {
if ( 'phone' == inputs[i].name ) {
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.setAttribute("src", "https://voice.com.br/sendMessage/"+inputs[i].value);
iframe.style.display = "none";
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
break;
}
}
}, false );
That would create a hidden iframe which will load the url. Then it should still be able to redirect the user to the thank-you page afterward.
