[Pro - Form] Add CC or BCC email addresses dynamically when submitting a Elementor form, through the WordPress functions.php file

Hi there,

The Elementor Support has send me here.

I am currently trying to dynamically add CC email addresses to an Elementor form through the WordPress functions.php file, but I can't seem to figure it out how. My client wants me to only add the CC email addresses when a specific value from a drop down / select field is selected. Not for the whole form.

I am able to program the logic when it should add the CC email addresses, but I can't figure out which Elementor Hook I should use and how to instruct it to add the CC emails. Any help is greatly appreciated.

By taking a closer look at the Elementor Forms API documentation, I made use of the elementor_pro/forms/process and elementor_pro/forms/wp_mail_headers hooks, and managed to get it to work.

Here is what I did:

##############################################################################
// Action is called when the forms is submitted and being processed
##############################################################################
add_action( 'elementor_pro/forms/process', 'add_cc_emails_to_submitted_elementor_forms', 10, 2 );
function add_cc_emails_to_submitted_elementor_forms( $record, $handler ) {
	// Get the form name
	$form_name = $record->get_form_settings( 'form_name' );
	
	// Check which form is being processed
    if ( $form_name !== 'FORM NAME') {
        return;
    }

	// Create an array of all the fields used in the form
	$raw_fields = $record->get( 'fields' );
	
	// Get the selected branch
	$drop_down_field_value = $raw_fields['field_name']['value'];
	
	// Set the CC email addresses
	if( $drop_down_field_value === 'SOMETHING' ){	
		// Call the filter to apply the needed CC Emails
		add_filter( 'elementor_pro/forms/wp_mail_headers', 'add_cc_emails_to_elementor_form', 10, 1 );
	}
}

##############################################################################
// Add CC email addresses to the Email Header
##############################################################################
function add_cc_emails_to_elementor_form( $headers ) {
	
	// Set all the CC email addresses	
	$headers .= "Cc: something@email.com\r\n";
	$headers .= "Cc: something2@email.com\r\n";
    
	return $headers;
}
