As said in topic title, how can I send a custom email to the user who submitted the form after submit?

Solved myself.

Setup>Submit>Email>Recipients list --> {data:email_field_name_i_want_to_use}

Can you help on what is the correct way to make the email send itself AFTER submit?
all the help are for CF5 or lower and I'm lost!

Then the latest CF6 update ate some of my fields and setups that I had set by default.

Hi Cesar,

For the email to be sent to the form sender, you need to write {data:email_field_name} in the "Recipients list" setting in the Email action, where "email_field_name" is the name of the email field.

You mean some fields are not displayed on the frontend ? if yes then its the new fields limit, the unvalidated version has a 15 fields limit to "display", but the fields and settings should still be in the admin area, if this is not the case then there is another problem.

Hello, I have the validated 3 domain version.
I have all my fields, just the update removed the correct fields and areas in the "SETUP".
I managed to make these by watching other screenshots.

My issue was more related to the "name on email" field bug.
Where if you have anything on this field, the email WILL NOT SEND.

Yet, my debugger says the email was sent, but I receive nothing.

Disregard my last post, out of nowhere it started working.

It still does not work by adding a dynamic email code but adding a fixed TO email address works.

Hi Cesar,

Let's assume your email field name is "email", so you should have something like this in the recipients box:

youremail@address.com,{data:email}

Does this work ?

Hello!
It works now!
There was a silly almost invisible space separation in the email slot. Now working, thanks!

Hi Cesar,

Where was the space exactly ? could you please post the string with the problem ?

Hi Max,

I'm guessing that this is the same problem as in CFv5 where using comma+space in the To Email list would cause the email to fail - trimming the values after exploding the list would fix this one.

Hi Bob,

The addresses are actually trimmed, so I'm trying to find what was the faulty syntax to test.
