You’ve come to the right place. CF 7 is great at doing things like this.
If I understand you correctly, you are placing unique forms on certain posts, and want the form to tell you the permalink for that post?
Why not just incorporate a hidden field in the form that contains the permalink?
You can also use the Special Tag [_url] or [_post_url] to get the URL of the page in which the contact form is placed, or the post permalink, respectively.
Thanks for the reply. Problem is, I can’t make any sense of how to setup it up properly CF 7 (the rest of the form is working fine, though).
Right now, I have [hidden _post_url] in my Form tab and [_post_url] in my Mail tab, but that isn’t working. Not only is it not passing the URL, but I see “[hidden _post_url]” in my form on the front end.
I apparently my syntax is all wrong because I should not see that on my front end.
Any chance you could help me figure this out to get it working? I’d appreciate that.
I figured it out. There’s no need for the hidden field under the form tab in my case.
All I needed is to put [_post_url] under the mail tab and it returns the post’s permalink in the email just fine.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. Yes, the hidden field was one of three options. I think using [_post_url] on the Mail tab is the best solution for what you’re doing. I’m glad you got it working.
