Change or format a value in the email notification before sending. This allows you to modify specific values in the email notification without modifying the entire email message.

Usage

add_filter('frm_email_value', 'frm_email_val', 15, 3);
function frm_email_val($value, $meta, $entry)

Parameters

  • $value (string or array)
  • $meta (object)
  • $entry (object)

Examples

Change a value in an email

Use this code to format a field value or change the field value that displays in the email notification.

add_filter('frm_email_value', 'frm_email_val', 15, 3);
function frm_email_val($value, $meta, $entry){
  if($meta->field_id == 25){ //change 25 to the ID of your field
    $value = "My custom email content"; //change the value here
  }
  return $value;
}

Replace ampersand character reference

Use the code below to replace an ampersand character reference with a plain ampersand. Replace 25 with the ID of the field you want to modify.

add_filter( 'frm_email_value', 'frm_replace_ampersand', 15, 3);
function frm_replace_ampersand( $value, $meta, $entry ){
  if ( $meta->field_id == 25 ) { //change 25 to the ID of your field
