E-mail log

How to log emails sent through ChronoForms.

Overview

The problem is the lack of a built-in email logging feature to track sent emails and their status without manual database setup.
Use the ChronoMails extension, which includes an email log feature to monitor emails sent from forms.

Hi Max,

Would it be an idea for the future to include an email log?

I could use another plugin, but this would also mean additional costs. And in my opinion it would be an asset in general to the plugin to have an overview of emails sent through the forms. And maybe it would even be possible to retrieve the status of the email (is it received or bounced?).

I could also set this up manually be writing the email to a database record, but it is a lot of extra work to store the e-mail HTML in a variable and add a savedata action every time in a form where an email is sent. Sometimes a form contains quite some different email actions with different content based on the situation.

Anyway, Chronoforms is already a great and versatile tool without this functionality. But maybe it might be a nice feature.

Best regards,

Bart
