Overview
The Divi Contact Form Helper plugin by Pee-Aye Creative adds new dynamic message pattern tags to the Divi Contact Form module! Please note, this feature is very limited with just Divi, and our new custom options are impossible without our plugin, so we hope you enjoy this exciting feature! This guide will give you all the information you need about these new message pattern merge tags.
What Is The Divi Message Pattern?
The standard Divi Contact Form has a feature called Message Pattern that allows you to place dynamic data into the message that is sent from the form. This is based on the fields which are added to the form. The field ID is wrapped within two percentage symbols %% at the beginning and the end of it. By using this feature, you can customize the message layout in any way you want using these dynamic merge tags.
For example, if I add a field for “Message” then the message pattern would be %%message%%. Same for Name %%name%% and Email Address %email_address%%.
Our Divi Contact Form Helper also introduces many new message pattern merge tags that are not available otherwise in the regular module. Below is a list of the ones added by our plugin.
All Fields
If you want to automatically include all fields, you can use the all fields merge tag which will show the field label that you add in the module settings followed by the value entered in the form.
