**Content:**

## Description

Filters confirmation message output site-wide.

## Parameters

$message*(string) (Required)* Confirmation message, including processed Smart Tags.$form\_data*(array) (Required)* Processed form settings/data, prepared to be used later.$fields*(array) (Required)* Sanitized field data.$entry\_id*(int) (Required)* Entry id.## Source

`wpforms/src/Frontend/Frontend.php`

## More Information

The filter is applied to all forms set to display a [confirmation message](https://wpforms.com/docs/setup-form-confirmation-wpforms/ "How to Set Up Form Confirmation in WPForms"). It can be used to change or replace the confirmation message that’s displayed, overriding the message contents set within the form builder.

## Examples

The example shown below will capture the user name that filled out the form and then give a more personalized message for the confirmation message.

Just remember to change the form ID from `25` to match the specific form ID you’re wanting to run your code on. Removing that check would run for all forms.

```

    if ( absint( $form_data[ 'id' ] ) !== 25 ) {
            return $message;
        } 

    // also it is possible to access the first, middle, and the last name as follows inplace of [ 'value' ]
    //  $contact_name = $fields[ '0' ][ 'first' ]; - this will pass in the first name

    $contact_name = $fields[ '0' ][ 'value' ];

    return $message;
