I’m building a form using ContactForm7 that I need to post the submitted data into ACF field in new post when the user click submit button.

Here’s the preview of the array that I’ve got from the WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();

Array
(
    [workshop-title] => DIY: Last-Minute Halloween Costume
    [choose-schedule] => Array
        (
            [0] => DIY - Painting (3pm)
            [1] => DIY - Crafting (8pm)
        )

    [workshop-name] => Test
    [workshop-phone] => +1234
    [workshop-email] => [email protected]
    [workshop-payment-channels] => Array
        (
            [0] => BCA
        )

    [workshop-attach-payment-proof] => 1ffbfc8124cbd02b2933818458ff6acb
)

My question is, how can I manage the output of WPCF7_Submission::get_instance(); data to ACF selected field with newly created custom post? What function I can use and how to use it? 😀

Thank you.

*Update*

I successfully create a new post with wp_insert_post function.

The problem now, I can’t store the CF7 data in a specific ACF field. What should I do?

Here’s my current function:

add_action('wpcf7_mail_sent','save_my_form_data_to_my_cpt');
add_action('wpcf7_mail_failed','save_my_form_data_to_my_cpt');

function save_my_form_data_to_my_cpt($contact_form){
    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    if (!$submission){
        return;
    }
    $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();

    $new_post = array();
    $new_post['post_title'] = $posted_data['workshop-title'];
    $new_post['post_type'] = 'my_custom_post_type';
    $new_post['post_content'] = $posted_data['workshop-name'];
    $new_post['post_status'] = 'publish';

    //When everything is prepared, insert the post into your WordPress Database
    $post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post))
    return;
}
