 * Hi everyone, I need help to enable the use of external shortcode on cf7 editor(
   like Visual composer or other layout shortcode).
 * I would like to do that without any shortcode.
 * Thanks in advance for your feedback.

 * Hi, I am injecting into this post, because I have a similar issue:
 * I created a custom wordpress shortcode [affemail] and want to integrate it into
   the “To”-field of a special CF7-form (not for all forms I set up, just for this
   special one) I set up.
 * But I get the message “syntax error”.
 * How can I integrate this external shortcode?
 * Thanks for your valued help!
 * Best,
    Johannes
