Contact Form 7—person’s name not showing up as sender of email?

[ad_1]

If possible, I’m trying to set up a contact form so that I see the **person’s name instead of my own** as the sender of the email.

When I get an email from the form, here’s what I currently see in my inbox:

**My Name**
\[subject line\] To: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
Reply to: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

What I *want* to see is:

**Jane Doe (via mywebsite.com)**
\[subject line\] To: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
Reply to: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Here’s what I have in the CF7 settings in WordPress:

To: \[\_site\_admin\_email\] From: \[your-name\] via <[email protected]>

I also have the **\[your-name\]** tag in the body of the email and the “Jane Doe” name shows up there just fine…but not in the sender name at the top, even though it’s the same tag. Am I doing anything wrong? TIA!

  1. When customising the form within the plugin there are literally examples of the short codes you can use as well as a link to the help pages if I remember correctly.
