Reverse auto email on form fill in CF V8

Sandev 28 Aug, 2023
Hello,
I decided not to wait for the migration of V7 forms to V8.
I made a V8 shape on my help site. /I don't have a validated V8 on it - I did but the trial period expired looking for other solutions - I mention this as a circumstance that may be relevant to my problem/. And I haven't put ReCapttcha yet.
The problem is this:
When making the V8 form, I kept all the field names as in V7.
In the field Email /Submit/ I have indicated two of my emails and a third field /with the name Your E-mail/, which is filled in by the user of the form. This is similar to the form in the V7.
I tried other options for this field but without success. When sending the completed form, I receive messages: Invalid address: (to): Your e-mail sandev_hr@mail.bg.
What should I write in this field to return an email to the sender of the form? In this case, the sender is sandev_hr@mail.bg.

Finally, the V8 format is very easy to work with, simplified, without unnecessary complexities

Hello Hristo,

You need to use {data:field_name} to get the value of the "Email" field, so find the field name and use it:
{data:field_name}

and by the way, the validation status should not have any effect on this issue, also, your v7 key should still work on v8
