Technical Overview

How it works under the hood.

Four clean steps from form submit to delivered attachments.

01
CF7 Submission Hook
The plugin listens to the wpcf7_mail_sent action hook. The moment a user submits the form, the plugin fires and captures all field values from the submission object.
add_action( 'wpcf7_mail_sent', 'cf7_generate_attachments' );
02
PDF Generation
Submission data is passed into a PDF rendering function. All sections — Business Details, Communicators, Login Credentials, Shop Rates, and Sublet Providers — are laid out in a clean, structured document.
03
Excel Sheet Creation
The same structured data is written into an .xlsx file using a PHP spreadsheet library. Each data group occupies clearly labelled rows, making the file immediately usable for review or import into other systems.
04
Automated Email Dispatch
Both files are attached to a notification email using WordPress's wp_mail() function with the $attachments parameter. The email is sent to the configured recipient — no manual step needed.
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers, $attachments );
