Dynamically send pdf attached to post with contact form 7 [closed]

by

I’m trying to send a dynamic pdf that is attached to a post via the plugin contact form 7.

I assume I need to use the hook:

add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail','send_pdf');

As it’s been the hook I’ve seen used most commonly when looking for a solution.

Here’s what I have, I’ve just been trying with a test pdf with an absolute url first:

function send_pdf( $cf7 ) {
    if ($cf7->id==741){
        $cf7->uploaded_files = array ( 'pdf' => get_template_directory().'/test.pdf' );
    }
}

Now if I understand this correctly, if the contact form id is correct, and I have [pdf] in the mail2 “file attachment” field, then that pdf should send via email to the person who has submitted their details?

For me though this isn’t working, I get the email but with no attachment.

Is there something I’m missing here or perhaps know of another method that works?

Try this instead. There was some internal restructuring in CF7 3.9.

add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail','send_pdf');

function send_pdf( $cf7 ) {
    $id = $cf7->id();
    if ($id==741){
        $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
        $submission->add_uploaded_file('pdf', get_template_directory().'/test.pdf');
    }
}

This should work.
