    I am adding the contact form directly on a single post template file. Like this:

    <?= do_shortcode('[hf_form slug="my-form"]'); ?>

    This is working fine, but I want to send the email to an address saved in a custom field into the post, besides de admin email. Is this even possible?

    Hi,

    That would be possible if you create your own custom “form action” instead of using the default email action.

    You can make a copy of email.php in the actions folder and rename it.

    1. Copy class from email.php
    2. Change name, choose unique $type and $label
    3. Create instance of that class and call hook method.

    $action = new HTML_Forms\Actions\Webhook();
$action->hook();

    Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let us know!

    Thank you for replying @lapzor

    Could you point on some extra direction here?

    Can I add this new class into my theme?

    When you copy the Email.php file in the Actions folder in the Boxzilla plugin folder, you make a new file there, let’s say named MyOwnEmailAction.php
    That is the file where you replace the class name / type / label.
    And then of course write your own PHP code to email it to the field value.

    Note that this is not something you can just copy / paste and figure out if you are not actually an experienced PHP programmer.

    Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let us know!

    Thank you @lapzor. That goes a little out of my php knowledge. However, I managed to achieve what I intended using one of the code snippets I found in github:

    add_filter( 'hf_form_markup', function( $markup ) {
	$email = get_field('email');
	if ($email) {
		$markup .= '<input type="hidden" name="HIDDEN_EMAIL" value="' . $email . '" />';
		return $markup;
	}
	
});

    This way I can get the value from the custom fields and pass it as a hidden input in the form. It is working without errors so far.
