    hello,
    i am trying to build my email list. i like the autoresponder function of contact form7.
    can you please help me to edit the code of contact form 7 so that it works in the call-to-action widget area of home page?

    or, what can i add to the current widget to ask for name, email and then set autoresponder? (and then collect that information)

    or, what do you recommend is the best way to do this?

    thanks

    Hi there

    You can add this to functions.php and that will allow you to use shortcodes in widgets. Does that help?

    // Enable shortcodes in widgets
    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    Thanks
    Dom
